cruiseair problems

[ssleeper94]

i have a 32'carver w/ a cruisair ac unit on it, When i turn t\he unit on it would cycle for a minute and trip the circuit, I replaced the breaker and it made no difference. So i jumped the switch and the unit will turn on the fan will come on and you hear two seperate clicks from relays i belive, and the condesnsor doesn't come on, I used to be able to keep turning it on and off till it would turn on but now nothing. I had a friend check the charge and it was fine. Can the compressor be going out? I'm dying w/ no ac

Re: cruiseair problems

Yep time for a new compressor, when it is stuck like that you are drawing high amperage, the breakers are ther to keep you from burning you boat up when the wires start to melt

I strongly suggest you put the breakers back on line and have someone that knows AC to check it out

Heat and air are best left to the pros, even if we do know a little something about them. The condenser might be fine, it might only be the starter. Those points go bad. Its human nature amongst many of us to "DIY".
