Compressor on ac unit

I have a new 2009 5th wheel, 1 week old. It has a Dometic AC Unit on it.When running unit for entended time the compressor will not shut down. The throstat will shut the fan off. but not the compressor. I have to go to the main breaker to shut the compressor off, after 1-2 hour of the breaker being switched off the compressor with start working properly. This has happened 3 time this past week.

It could be a relay for the compressor is sticking in the run position.
If it is only about one week old take it back to the dealer for service or call them and tell them your problem. This should be covered by warranty and the dealer can refer you to someone authorized to do the work.

I have my dometic Rooftop ac unit. The heatstrip/fan run perfectly but when I turn on the ac...the fan runs good but when the compressor kicks on it just hums.

The compressor coming on does make a slight "humming" sound which is normal. Is the unit cooling properly? Do you think it is louder than before?

Ac Problems

You must have too many things running on that circuit. Check your connection to the power box.Loose connection on the receptacle can cause the breaker to trip or too many things running on the same circuit. If the breaker is old it might need to be replaced.

AC/Heatpump units cycle numerous times blowing ambient air.

If the compressor never kicks in, I would check the start capacitor, thermostat and the compressor windings. Most times the start capacitor is defective. Some window air conditioners the fan will run while the compressor stop through the thermostat switch. If the thermostat switch is bad every thing runs except the compressor. Let me know, Thanks, Sea Breeze
