Ac problem

Jhiman31 · 06-17-2016, 08:52 PM

I have a new eagle 345 bhts that has the second Ac unit in the master bedroom. Everything has worked fine until we got to the campground today. The master bedroom Ac will kick on but not blow. Thermostat is working as far as I can tell. Breaker not tripped. Any ideas?

What do mean by kick on but not blow? On our master bedroom ac (2nd unit) fan blows before ac starts...

You might want to check the compressor fan (on the roof) to see if it might be blocked by an insect nest. This happened to mine once.

Also check the squirrel cage blower by spinning it manually. I have had the shaft corrosion be just enough to stop it from starting after a time of not running.

It sounds like it is running but the blower does not start. Once I get home I'll pull the cover off and check for obstructions.

Pull the thermostat and make sure the fan control wire didn't come loose.

The thermostat seems to work, it's shuts off the unit if I adjust it up. I climbed up on the roof and it doesn't appear to be any obstructions on the fan or the shaft. Should the fan free spin if I move it by hand with the unit off. I havnt tried it yet, just trying to gather info so I can figure it out when I take the cover off

Silly question, here. But, I'm assuming you're hooked up to a 50-amp service, right? If you are, then you may want to check with the campground folks and check the outlet socket and make sure you have full 50-amps. Summer's here and you'll need full power to run both AC units!

So once I got home I pulled the cover off to find that the fan shroud had been bent causing it to contact the fan and not allowing it to spin. It appears that I may have hit a low hanging branch. Thanks for all the input. Simple fix and a call to the county to get some branches trimmed.
