Breaker panel /air conditioner

[DennisB]

Went to turn on air conditioner heard a small popping sound, air conditioner failed to start. Checked breakers (they have no labels) reset them all-one seems a little loose, but does seem to re-set.
Any suggestions for repair?

Thanks,
Dennis

The breaker for your AC “should” be a single handle 20A breaker. Suggest you unplug your rig from shore power, remove the panel cover, pull the breaker out and check the wire connection and look at the buss and breaker to make sure not discolored. If good, replace the breaker, turn off and on three times. Plug your shore back in and verify voltage coming from breaker. HAVE SOMEONE TURN ON AC while you watch the breaker.
If it is on a 15 amp, could have been incorrectly connected. Swap with the one on the 20A.
Let us know what you find.

Fixed the problem. I replaced the 15/20 amp breaker and it still didn’t work.
Explored further and found that one of the wires in the on/off switch-on the air conditioner had come loose. Hooked it back up and everything is working well now.
Thanks for the input..

Happy to hear you found the problem. Keep the breakers, you may need one some day.
