I have a 2011 Dutchman Voltage. Tonight I pulled into a campground in Florida, got all set up, and went to start up the A/C. The thermostat said E1, tried to clear the code, now the thermostat only shows zone 1 & 4, but only a 2 zone system, and still no A/C. Also, the inside/outside temps show 0* F & -18*C. I guarantee it's closer to 100* F in here --- HELP!!!!

SOURCE: Thermostat shows error on unused zone

You will need to take the inside cover down on the front air conditioner. There is a control box mounted there, open the control box and you should see many dip switches on the face of the board. Make sure that Zone 1 and Zone 2 are selected (furnace as well if your furnace is fed through this thermostat). After making sure that the switches are set, turn off the thermostat and hold down the mode and zone buttons at the same time, turn the tstat back on. When EE appears on the face, release the buttons and see if everything works. If not, then I would say that you have a bad control unit in the air conditioner.

SOURCE: Low Voltage

Yes the 10% factor is correct. Anything greater than ten 10% will affect operation without question.

SOURCE: ac not blowing cold after outside temp reaches 98 degrees

Sounds like you have dirty condenser coils. Remove the upper shroud and check the condenser for clean. Take a water hose and gently spray out the coils paying special attention not to bend the coils over with too much pressure. This will allow more air movement through the coils and give you better cooling efficiency.

Hope this helps,

SOURCE: I have a duotherm double unit A/C setup on a 2003

In the main unit, remove the inner shroud and then pull down the control unit (two phillips screws). Remove the access cover on the control box to view the dip switches. The switches should be set to Zone 1 and Zone 2 to on and then the furnace to on (if so equipped). If the zones are not in the in position, then set them to the correct position and reset the thermostat again. If they are correct, try turning them off, resetting the thermostat and then turning them back on and resetting again. If this does not work, then you have a bad thermostat or control box.

Hope this helps,

Jeff

SOURCE: 15,000 BTU. (P/N 459516.701)

This appears to be a low charge. you should see a 15-20 degree split between the discharge venting and the return air venting.

Our power went off a couple of times tonight and now our frigidaire refrigerator is not running. I checked to make sure the plug was in good and I checked the breaker. What else can I do?

A power outage is often accompanied by a voltage surge or spike. The modern fridge contains electronics and these do not like voltage surges so damaged electronics is a possibility though first it is necessary to discover whether power is actually reaching the inside workings of the fridge which means checking the power cord, connections, fuses, etc. with a multimeter.

My fridge is an older type without the fashionable electronics and when that refused to restart recently I gave the thermostat a sharp tap with a screwdriver handle. It started and mostly works normally but I bought a new thermostat as once it has caused trouble it almost certainly will eventually fail.

Dryer starts and flame ignites three times, but wont flame up after that. did a lot of research and assumed it was the coils. replaced them and still same issue. so i pulled out the ohm meter and set

It is easy to procure the wrong thermostats, sensors, safety switches. They can physically look like just the same old ones, but the voltage limits can be off.

Fifth wheel air conditioner has error code E1 on thermostat, how do i fix?

Somewhere in your manual you should have a table telling your what the codes mean. I have no idea. Once you find out I can most likely direct you in how to fix it.

Tempature guage only going up a quarter of the way.Engine light on.It happened all the sudden when it got 20degrees in florida

I was going to say it should be covered under the factory warranty, but not if its a 2000 Ford. I would check the thermostat.

Have not had any problems with vehicle. Went out to start it tonight and it would not start. Sounds like engine is trying to turn over, but it won't. Light comes on indicating "service emission

Does the engine turn over fast or is it sluggish? Headlights bright or dim? If engine turns over sluggish and headlights are dim, I'd suspect a defective/discharged battery or possibly a charging problem causing the battery problem. Start by making sure the battery cable terminals at the battery posts are clean and tight.

Put a voltmeter across the battery posts with the engine off, you should measure 12.8 volts if the battery is fully charged. Less voltage and the battery is not fully charged. When you try to start the engine, the battery voltage will drop momentarily when the starter is engaged. I would not be surprised to see the voltage to drop to 8-9 volts when the starter is engaged and the engine turning over. If it drops to a lower voltage, I would suspect a battery problem. The "service emmisions" light I would expect to be a secondary indication and resolve itself once the engine starting problem is resolved.

Bcm problem?

This sounds like a you are having a voltage problem. Have the charging system checked. A bad battery or poor alternator output can cause this. When voltage starts dropping below about 9 volts all kinds of crazy electrical things can happen and they can be anything and anywhere.

Outside AC unit not coming on but indoor fan is working, replaced the start/run 5/50 capacitor but still didnt fix it, let it set allday while came home tried it and it came on and worked great, but the...

Sounds like you are on the right track. The symptom of the contactor not pulling is your clue to the solution. When you turn the thermostat down lower than the room temperature and the thermostat calls for cooling, the outside unit should start immediately. There are a few exceptions to this but generally this is correct. So if you turn the system to cool and the thermostat is calling for cool then the contactor should pull in immediately. If it does not then check for 24 volts to the contactor. If you have 24 volts to the contactor then the contactor is the problem. If you do not have 24 volt power to the contactor coil then you will have to find where the break in voltage to the contactor is happening.
There are many reasons why you may not be getting 24 volts to the contactor, so check what i stated above before you go any further. Repost if this is the solution or you need further assistance.
Important tip....the yellow wire from the thermostat carries the 24 volt power from the thermostat to the contactor.

Tv went off and won't come back on.

the arcing sound is some kind of high voltage leak, which will shut down the tv. pull the speaker grill off and the access board, look at the 3 picture tubes, turn the set on you will see where the leak is, it's usually the high voltage splitter, which has a high voltage wire going into it and 3 high voltage wires coming out going to the picture tubes, if it arcs from the splitter you need to change it, if it arcs from one of the picture tube wires you need to pull the tube out and fix the high voltage leak, and possibly a cooling fluid leak caused it, not an easy reapir, you probably need a repairman.
