air conditioner

My air in the front of my 365 will not turn off
No compresser just fan motor
Been told by a dealer lightning may have struck it
Any body have anything similar happen

If you have a Dometic digital thermostat, make sure it is in "auto". See page 10 and 11 of manual.....

It does have a thermostat
But even when its on the off position it still runs in the fan mode
The unit does not recognize it

[cabinetmaker61]

Someone told me the circuit board in the unit is toast
That perhaps a lightning strike caused it
Not sure just wondering if I was the only one with this problem or had anyone else had similar issues

Fonzie is not talking about the on off switch he's referring to the on/auto switch for the fan.

[cabinetmaker61]

I understand that
But when you turn the thermostat to the off position it will continue to run
I did turn it to auto it doesn't recognize any commands from thermostat
Including fan speeds
Took the thermostat from other unit in the coach and swapped them still no different

Ok good.
Well in that case I believe there's a fan relay and it may be stuck.
Maybe someone has a parts break down of your a/c to check.
What is the make and model of your a/c?

If its less than 2 years old its still under warranty.

[cabinetmaker61]

I wasn't for sure
I figured being lightning might have got it they would try and get around that

Pretty hard to prove lightning!

Tell them its under warranty and you want it fixed!

I could see maybe lightning would be the case if several electronics were ruined but that's not the case.

I'd suggest a new dealer if they won't just jump in and fix it.

Well it got the one in the main coach too
But it was as simple as spending 80:00 and buying that little box in the unit

Could it be possible that it was a voltage spike ?
If you don't already have one I'd suggest an http://www.progressiveindustries.net/ems_hw50c.htm unit for your coach.

Very possible
And I have my son in law hard wiring me one today
We keep ours at the lake most of the time
Problem with leaving a portable one some one would steal it

Yes hardwired is the answer.
I installed mine behind my distribution center.

Works well behind.
