Fan Issue

Having a problem with the air in our Alpha Wolf trailer. The fan stops running when the a/c reaches it's temp on the thermostat. It worked before, but quit after we took a trip. It will run continuously if running by itself. Could it be a lose wire in the thermostat? Not sure what to think...help!

Welcome to FRF.

Are you wanting the fan to keep running when the A/C gets to setpoint and the compressor cuts off? If so put the fan in either Hi or Lo and it'll continue to run.

It also might help if you tell us the make and model of the A/C and thermostat.

Also... what do you mean when you say " it will run continuously if it runs by itself"

Do you mean in fan only mode not using A/C?

What thermostat do you have and do you have the manual for it?

To me, when the ac reaches the set point, it should shut off, that’s how it works. Unless it’s not on auto. Ours has “cold” hi and low and also hi and low “auto”. When in auto mode it shuts off completely until it warms past set point, when in the non auto mode it just continues to run the fan.

Took us a trip or two to figure that out, but seems it would be bad to have the fan run continuously all the time.
