Title: A/C Runs Continuously
Post by: jor on June 14, 2017, 06:40:06 pm
I have the original Dometics (97 270) and 4 button thermostat. Both A/Cs work well but the rear runs continuously rather than shutting down when it reaches the desired temp. What's up? Thanks.

Sounds like the thermistor for the rear unit is not working

I had the contacts go bad and fuse in one of the potted relays on the roof and had to replace it on my 93 years back... Still have one: Potter & Brumfield

desolder/resolder.

Circuit breaker only way to shut it off - could have hung meat in the bedroom.

I think the fans can be set to "Auto" "High" or "Low" .  If it is set to high or low the fan will run continuously even if the compressor isn't running.
