oletimer Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 2016 SpaceCraft has been setting most of the summer either here at home or at the factory. Got it picked up from the factory a couple months ago, and "she" started the cleanup with the AC on. It worked fine, then it set in the barn for about a month, and again, "she" wanted to do a re-clean(???) then load for the winter. AC wouldn't work, and got the E5 error code, which means a bad freeze sensor, or an open circuit. No RV repair in the area, and after research I guess either the sensor or the board is bad. I was wondering if I could just wire the 2 wires on the sensor to gather and check the sensor that way, or would that fry the board. Dometic was no help. I not trying to be "cheap" just trying to order the correct part so I could get cool. Hate to deadhead a couple hundred miles, got too much work to do. Thanks for any thoughts. Dick T.

Darryl&Rita Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 Depends, some freeze sensors are a switch mounted on the coils, some are a thermocouple, some are an RTD. A switch can be shorted to test, the other two can't. Shouldn't hurt anything to try, though.

Darryl&Rita Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 On perusing the parts sites, it looks like you have 2 types to choose from. One looks like a hearing aid, and is a switch. The other looks like a pencil, and could be either a thermocouple or RTD. If you can follow the wiring to the device, order the one to match.

oletimer Posted August 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 Thanks Darryl, I have the sensor removed, and it is the thermocouple type. I had also looked on the parts sites the other day, and found the one that looks just like mine, but has a different part number. I'll give it a try.
