Problem for Coleman Mach 15 Air Conditioner

Coleman TSR Mach air conditioning roof mount trips breaker




By diecastron on Sep 23, 2009

" "
I just got a 2001 5th wheel with a 13,500 btu Coleman TSR Mach A/C unit and it runs fine with just the fan on. When I turn on the cool air it overloads my generator which is a Honda 3000 EUI with a 23.3 amp connector. I ran an extension cord from my house to the 5th wheel and it trips my house breaker also. Any way to troubleshoot this? I am an auto mechanic of 23 years and want to try fixing this myself before I start paying $100.00 hr to shop.

- If you read my listing you will see that I have pugged it in to my house and it still trips breaker. I removed the overload switch on top of the compressor and now everything works fine. So I am going to order a had start compressor kit and replace the overload capacitor also. Everything will cost $30.00. I will let you all know if it works on Friday when the parts come in! Ron

The simplest answere to start is it' looks like the compressor is the ssue." Either it has siezed"or in my oppinion needs a proper household power to activate it. If the voltage drop on these units is a little below a certain value, it will not start and will burn out. Thats why i suggest a household power be tried first. I feel your generator is a little undersized. You will only know once you have applied household power.
