Yesterday my rear Duo-Therm air conditioner Model 630516.321 stopped cooling. My coach is a 2005 Country Coach Inspire 330 #51264. The fan works but no cold air. I assume my compressor is not working. I have checked my circuit breaker & fuse in the house panel box. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you,
RJ

Try this:

Turn off Duo-Therm

Press Mode/Zone same time, hold and while holding turn Duo-therm back on you should get FF Signal

That means your system has been reset and the AC may now work.

If this does work please let the group know.

RJ: Just had the same problem with two of the three air conditioners within 2 days. Both had the same problem with the start and run capacitor. Depending on how resourceful you are (and mechanical), turn off the breaker to the unit, remove the cover, and check inside galvanized box. Make sure to discharge the capacitor and note the wiring closely. If the capacitor is bad, it could be likely melted or at least fried. I replaced mine with a 440v capacitor ( my units are not Norcolds) for a total of about $40. The next day unit #2 had the same symptoms and replaced with my spares (I usually buy two with repair jobs) and now I'm carrying two spares of both the start device and capacitors. Compressor or board could also, be the problem, but worth looking at the suggestions first as they are the usual problem and a much cheaper fix. Hope it helps,

Roger,

Thanks for the good information. I'm in Colorado then on to Yellowstone. When I get back home I'll check out the capacitor. I think I can get by with just my front air conditioner until I get home.
Thanks again,
RJ
