AC troubles


Recommended Posts

Start by looking at the blower motor to see if it's spinning free.

Better the blower than the compressor.  I looked through the YouTube RV Air Conditioner repair video list and didn't see any that listed your problem but you might want to see what you can find. There are too many to watch them all.

Ah, the life of a RVer.  Just awoke to  a high pitched whine coming my the Carrier 68RV14112A AC/heat pump.  Not sure where to start troubleshooting.  Thoughts?

Here's the manual , if you don't already have one :

Past what you may or may not find in that^ , consider calling Carrier and see what they have to say . ;)

Goes around , comes around .

It may be an interior duct lining in the blower section that is loose and vibrating.  I had this happen to both Carrier units on my Cameo.

Thank you for the manual and ideas.  The issue appears a bearing in the compressor.  We've done a cost benefit analysis and decided to replace it.  It is 16 years old and Carrier is no longer in the RV A/C business.  If this bearing is going we don't want to put more money into the unit.

So I'm starting a thread on recommendations.

That is likely a good decision. I think that I would do the same as you could pour a lot of money into it and you would still have a 16 year old a/c.
