2016 FLSA AC problem

Chris Wendt · 06-27-2017, 07:32 AM

Looking for help on my AC. My unit has 3 AC units and my front unit has no power. It shares the same electrical circuit as the back unit and cycles back and forth through some type of module. I was told that the module could be bad so the power is not being sent to the front unit. The back unit works fine. Does anyone know where this module is and does this sound like the problem?

All I was able to fix this on my own. The power share switch was bad. I had the manufacturer overnight me one. It was located behind the electrical panel mounted to the floor. This switch allows two AC units to be on the same circuit and cycle back in forth since I have 3 AC units.

That's grabbing the bull by the horns. Fixed before anyone could even respond.

Finding stuff in a new rig is a one time problem. You will never have to find it again!

Hoping this helps others as I've been helped here

It's a 20amp fuse behind the thermostat. I had the same problem.

Just to be sure not to confuse anyone. It was not a 20 amp fuse. It was a Power Share Switch made by Precision Circuits INC. CAT. NO. 00-10031-000. And It was located behind the Actual load Center/Electrical Panel. You can google that part number and see what I am talking about. This device allows (2) pieces of equipment to be on the same electrical circuit. It will switch back and forth between the equipment as they need power. In my case this was used on (2) AC units, front and back. I have (3) AC units on my trailer so they had to put 2 on the same circuit. This device wont let both on at the same time; however it cycles back and forth between the (2) allowing each to cool off its area quickly. The middle unit will run all the time or until it meets its desired temp.

The OP had a completely different issue. Not sure how your fuse is the same as him having a bad load sharing control. Lol

Sorry earl. I had an issue with my thermostat in the bedroom. It didn't turn on. It was a fuse. So... someone may have that problem if I did. No one would be confused for checking the fuse in the thermostat. It's called trouble shooting.

Hi Chris....I have the same camper and now having the same issue. Fortunately I found your post. When you say it was located behind the electrical panel, I'm assuming this is the one next to the pantry door in the kitchen. How difficult was it to remove the panel? Any insights or tips/tricks you could provide would be extremely appreciated as I'll most likely tackle this myself.

It was simple. Turn power off including 12 volt. Yes, it’s the actual electrical panel. Remove cover and screws that hold it to the wall and pull panel forward and lay on the ground. You should see small 4sq box screwed to the floor and the relay is in that. They will send a whole new box. Remove Romex and install the same way you disconnect
