Intertherm MGHA-070ABFC-05 will not run/cool

With thermostat on cool condenser fan runs about 5 minutes then shuts down, no cooling inside, I have replaced capacitor and tried a different fan motor. When the thermostat is set to off (between heat and cool) inside 'furnace' blower fan runs constantly, unless I turn the breaker off at the breaker panel

Multiple problems. Eliminate thermostat first. Remove face from wall and turn on breaker. If fan still runs you have a bad board or bad relay. If fan outside is running compressor should be too. These operate on same contactor. Verify you are getting 24 volts to coil side of contactor. If odf stops working and contactor remains pulled in you have a bad motor. If odf motor stops working the compressor will shut off due to overheating.

SOURCE: Compressor starts and doesn't stop

Relay for the compressor may be stuck ( Contacts welded) both the fan and the compressor should operate at the same time. Have the relay(s) checked and possibly replaced.

SOURCE: AC breaker trips after 10 minutes

Whats the amp breaker? Is this for the inside unit or the outside condenser? If the inside and gas heat you have a bad fan motor, If its an electric furnace , the same, but if its the outside unit, the fan could be going bad, locking up and the compressor still runs and pulls high ampsand tripps breaker or the compressor is just pulling too many amps due to plugged coils with dirt , grass or weeds blocking airflow.([email protected])

SOURCE: Intertherm model MGHA-090-AAPQ -- combustion air keeps running

Sounds like a problem with the circuit board.

SOURCE: RV air conditioner. Compressor running, fan stops before cool

The fan motor is getting hot and going off on the internal overload in the motor.
This is caused by either a low voltage, a bad capacitor, or tight or dry bearings in the motor.
To check the bearings turn the power off to the unit, then spin the fan blade if it spins freely then the bearings are ok.
To check the capacitor you will need some kind of tester or you can buy a capacitor and replace it, that's what a lot of people do. They usually don't cost very much.
To check the voltage you will need a voltmeter and measure the volts at the unit.

SOURCE: air conditioning runs all the time

I assume this is a manufactured home, this is probably a two transformer system, either your contactor is welded in the on positon or wyou have control wiring issues, (could be the thermostat)

Why does it run continually?

Hello David;

My name is Peter. I am a retired field service refrigeration technician.

If your freezer is running continually something is wrong. Your refrigerator freezer will run, then shut down to go through the defrost mode. The defrost mode is usually 10 to 20 minutes approximately every 8-10 hours.

What is happing is your compressor is trying to maintain the set temperature and will not shut down until it does.

So, you either have a bad condenser fan (Cools the heat), a frozen cooling coil (Cooling air obstructed) or a bad cooling fan.

Un plug your freezer for 24 hours. Put plenty of old towels under the freezer to collect the frozen ice.

Clean the condensing coils underneath. If the fab=n on the bottom is not running, use a household fan and blow air under the freezer until you can replace the lower fan.

Send me a model number. I will give you the part number you need. Easy fix.

Where is the flame sensor on Intertherm MGHA-070abfc-01?

There is no flame sensor per se, unless it has an ignition type pilot. Only temperature activated switches employed.

The limit switch to the left of fan switch is "Nordyne" part #626259. This switch is rated at140 degrees. When the temperature inside firebox exceeds 140 degrees, switch "opens" removing power from the secondary of 24vac xfmr.

The fan switch to the right of the limit switch is "Nordyne" part #626337. This switch closes when firebox temp reaches 115 degrees. Opens at 70 degrees.

At the top to the left of fan is a smaller limit switch, which is a secondary safety switch. The increased temperature within the heat exchanger box activates this switch. It is wired in series with the thermostat wiring.

Hope this info helps.

I have a Intertherm gas furnace mod# MGHA 070ABFC 05. It comes on for 30 seconds then off for 30 then on and continues this.

hi,

check how far away the thermocouple is from the pilot flame, the end of the thermocouple probe should be in the flame, adjust it over. if its in the flame then it might need a thermocouple element it unbolts from the manifold. or the pilot flame may not be big enough to hold the valve open, have to research or use a wire the circumfrence of a bread tie to clean out the pilot orifice. always have a fire extinguisher in your rv..

I have a Intertherm gas furnace mod# MGHA 070ABFC 05. It comes on for 30 seconds then off for 30 then on and continues this. Sometimes it shuts off and then you have to push the reset.

If you are talking about the FAN coming on and then going off:

It sounds like something is obstructing air flow thru the system--
Are the air filters well cleaned-- or replaced?

Another possibility,m is the Plenum Control switch-
Can you find the control that senses the heating of the air in the furnace--
It usually has some set points that determine when the fan turns ON and then Off.
Can you adjust them to a wider differential?
This determines the temeprature of the air discharging from the registers...

If you are talking about the Burner-- or the Gas fire:
(Shutting of and turning the burner back on short cycle?)
Then you have to adjust the High Limit control--
Can you find this control?
Sometimes it is tied in with the Plenum control (adjust as above..)

Look at your controls, and get back with us, so we can help more.

A/c will not continue to cool.. Starts fine, runs fine.. but shuts down cooling ( comp shuts off but fan still runs) after anywhere from 5 min to multiple hours. No circuit breakers or fuses blow. CAN...

One amateur test is to place your hand on the compressor and see if it
is too hot to hold your hand on it. You may have a restricted condenser coil
If it is too hot then the condenser coil is restricted inside the unit
if not be sure and clean condenser coils with good coil cleaner.
You can put a fan on the compressor and see if it runs for another test to confirm it
If this was helpful please rate me.

The fan runs continuously, with thermostat set to

When was the last time you had the coils in the condenser cleaned. Dirty coils can insulate the refrigerant tubes, causing the fan to constantly run in order to try and cool down the refrigerant returning from the evaporator coils(a-coils) in supply ducting, But can.t because the condenser coils are insulated not allowing the heat to escape. I would try this first before replacing expensive parts. It is the small things that we overlook that is most likely the source

Air conditioner is not cooling. The fan is running. When I turn the thermostat past 7, the unit shuts down. Any ideas? Low on Freon?

Sounds like a leak to me - if you have a set of guages available (know anyone working in the refrigeration field???) you could tell this for certain.  Otherwise, try running it when it cools down outside and see what happens.  Take a stick thermometer, and put it in between the fins on the INSIDE condenser coil.  If they get cooler, but not down to about 50 degrees, then you are low on refrigerant.
Good Luck!
