Breaker breaks When my Dometic roof a/c compressor comes on during a regular cycle, it sometimes pops the breaker. I replaced the breaker but think there must be some sort of timer in the unit that allows some time to go by before the compressor comes back on. If I reset the breaker and turn the unit back on immediately, it pops again. If I wait about 5 minutes it will run ok. The amps are ok. Help.

This unit may have an internal overload mounted on top of the compressor. You would have to get to the
compressor to find out and it maybe faulty. That may
explain why the compressor comes on later on, this
overload protects the compressor from getting hot.

When you trip the breaker and then reset it again only to see it trip again almost sounds like a direct short or loose wire. It could also mean that your
capacitor needs to be replaced or that you need a hard start kit and the unit needs a good cleaning.

Try just operating the fan and see if it trips the breaker, if it does then either the blower motor is bad
or it is still the capacitor.
