Domestic duo therm gets 20volts everywhere I checked. I have yet to check the switch on top of the compressor. Neither fan nor compressor turn on or make noise. Get 120 at breakers.

If you don't have 120 volts at the power connections at the unit, you have an open fuse or wire someplace between the breaker and the unit.

SOURCE: Duo Therm compressor tries to start and kicks out

I don't think these little units have a start capacitor but what I would do is check that the on/off switch wires to make sure they aren't loose. Also check the wires to the compressor for loose wires as well. It is possible that these are the first signs that the compressor is about to fail. They also can act up some when they haven't been used for awhile and then you try and start them up. Try running the unit for a few hours without asking it to cycle. It might just be a sticky valve.

SOURCE: duo therm roof top a/c

Sounds like 1 of 3. Blower motor capacitor, relay or thermostat. Try to run fan only if that is an option and see.

check for the presence of voltage supply to the fan motor,if it has voltage,check the winding of fan motor if it has resistance base on its connections.if the fan is defective,perform a rewinding of coil

When Unit is switched off . The outside part turns on = off as if working, I have just been up to check, found compressor is also runningas is fan motor. we just switched A/C back on to cool , all working...

The easiest way to see if it is the thermostat is to write down what wire goes where and pull all the wires off. If it still does it, it's not the thermostat. If it stops, you'll need to get a new thermostat. Let me know what you find out.

Duo-Therm BRISKAIR on rooftop of houseboat runs, not putting out cold air. Also, fan doesn't seem to be running at top speed

Sometimes a weak capacitor will make a motor run slower so I would check that first. Also make sure the compressor is running. Let me know what you find. You may need to get the refrigerant charge checked too. By the way it may use the same capacitor for the fan and compressor.

Have a duo therm penguin heat pump a/c when turning it on the compressor humms but no fan. the fan gets pretty hot upon the roof after 20 sec of operation. the main hot wire to the unit is pulling 18.5...

check the cap for the fan. Will the fan start if you spin it when you hear the humming. Check the lock rotor amperage for the compressor to see if it is hung up. The cap if it is shared could knock out both the fan and comp so check both.

Dometic Duo Therm Ac, Fan runs, Compressor cuts in and out?

your compressor is locked up. i would try replacing the round start capacitor. you need to check what the exact rating for yours is but I believe one of these two will work for ya. In the meantime do not continue to try to run it, it will kill the compressor.

Compressor intermittent

Sounds like a bad thermostat. Make sure you turn off all related breakers and disconnect switches before attempting to replace it. Good Luck!
