Coleman Airconditioner not cooling

We have a 2016 Grayhawk 29MV with a Coleman 15,000 btu air conditioner/heat pump that would not cool today . The fan runs , I cant tell if the compressor runs yet . Is there anything else I need to check before I pull the cover ? I did trip a breaker this morning with the toaster and electric heater , that breaker reset OK

Listen closely and see if the compressor is short cycling. Keep everything quiet and see if the compressor comes on for a few seconds, minute, and then turns off. If that's happening, I bet the air divider under the inside shroud is misaligned letting nice cold air get sucked back into the supply, and triggering the frost detector thermostat. Happened to mine 3x's. Field repaired 3x's. Bad design.

That air divider thing was a pure hack in our 31FK. Similar tale, 3 failures, 2 fixes that failed. Finally came up with a more permanent solution.

Bad, bad design.

I finally had a chance to inspect my ac unit . I appears that the intake screen was covered with dust . after washing the screens and inspecting the diverter the unit is working again at least the heat pump part is . It will have to warm up here in Florida to test to AC part .
Thanks for the input
