Dometic A/C Central Unit Not Cooling

Our unit did not cool our 30 ft fifth wheel last weekend. The unit has had freon added to it but the output is not sufficient to cool the rv. Any suggestions on things we can check?

Freon is only on of many components that work together in the cooling process. Also, more freon does not mean more cool. There is a specific proper type and amount that each a/c system is designed to have. You could have anything from electrical problems causing the compressor to run inadequatly or not run at all. There could be a blockage in the device that controls the flow of freon into the evaperator coil. Keep in mind that I am a technician that repairs a/c's when I can get my hands on them; without specifics (ie: refrigerant type, pressures, temperatures, superheat and subcooling, details of how exactly the unit is or is not running, etc.) it is very difficult to try and diagnose problems based on the unit having freon added and it doesn't cool enough. I'm sorry. I mean no disrespect by my response and I understand that you may not understand all of the things that I am talking about, but it sounds like maybe your problem would be best resolved by a qualified technician who can see the unit in person. If you can provide me with some of the specifics listed above, please post them to this problem as comments and I will be happy to assist you to the best of my abilities doing so over the internet.

Thank You,

How do I add freon to my LG LFX25973D Linear compressor?

why are you adding freon ---if you do not know what your doing around freon [ not like adding to a vehicle ] you can seriously inure you or someone else as well as damaging a unit that may not have needed freon ]-- to add freon to a system you need correct freon -set of gauges -- tap a line valve port --but before you add will need to locate and fix leak --then hook up a vacuum pump --to test fix and get all moisture in lines out must hold at 30 inch vac to boil off moisture if holds for at least 20 to 30 min then can start adding freon then turn on unit and start charging it

Roof AC on 5th wheeler is not working

CHECK FOR ELECTRICAL POWER @ l1 CONNECTION,IF YOU HAVE NO POWER CHCK THE FUSE,AND INSURE THE THERMOSTAT IS SET FOR COOLING OPERATION. IF THE UNIT HAS LEAKED FREON, A LOW PRESSURE SWITCH HAS OPENED, PREVENTING THE UNIT FROM OPERATING TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE COMPRESSOR. DO YOU HAVE A MANIFOLD GAUGE, AND ARE YOU CERTIFIED TO WORK WITH REFRIGERANTS? IF YOU ARE IN COMPLIANCE,HAVE TOOLS AND TEST EQUIPMENT WE CAN PROCEED FURTHER.

Central AC unit not cooling

If you have access to your piping system you may use a soap bubbles to test the pipe connection. the leak gas will blow the bubbles if there is leaking. But if your system is out off freon gas, you can not use this method. just try it check the connection first put the bubbles around it.

My airconditioner is just not cooling the way I feel it should. The thermostat never shows lower than 81 degrees. I have it set down as low as 68 but it only cools to 81

Is this a central unit or a window unit. The central unit does 15*----18 * temperature difference from the air comming in the return air grill to the air going out the supply air grills...9*----to ----14* degree different, and the unit is low on freon,, 15*--18* and the charge of freon is perfect, 19-----22* difference, then the air flow is too low , due to either a dirty filter,, dirty squirell cage blower wheel, and last , but not least, the ac inside coil is plugging up!

UNIT NOT COOLING(IS RUNNING WHEN PLUGGED)

only reason refrigerent may be needed is that there is a leak so adding more will achieve nothing. unlikely to be needed. i assume compressor is running. probable causes of no cooling are compressor fault or a blockage in the pipe sysyem. not diy
