Air conditioner blowing regular air

Hey all, I'm in Georgia on my way to Florida. It was 80 when I got here, turned my AC on soon as I hooked the 50 Amp and it's just blowing regular air. I checked the inside filter that was clean to start with and a small red light that I've never seen before is on. It looks like some type of small circuit board? If anyone has had this same issue or knows what this red light does please let me know. Sorry for the bad picture and the light looks yellow in the picture but is red. Thanks in advance all !

The last time that I used it in the summer it blew cold. I'll check the roof AC condenser screen tomorrow also. If anyone has had this same issue or knows what this red light does please let me know.

I just went to get a better picture and now the light is off?

So the condenser has water slowly running down so the AC seems to be running Ok. I'm thinking it's possibly needing freon. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Dometic also includes Atwood. The Atwood series (and some Dometics) had a design defect that caused the dripping problem. Your best solution is to call Dometic 800-544-4881 or 260-463-7795. They are very responsive to problems and usually provide replacement parts/mods at no charge.

Forget about adding Freon. Not going to happen. These units are sealed.

I just checked the coils, they're clean. I'm thinking it needs freon but it would perfectly back in the summer.

Thanks for the info, I'll give Dometic a call. They are supposed to drain though from the condensation when running.

The red wire for the AC wasn't connected tight enough when I changed out thermostats previously
