Discovery: A lot to digest so here goes

[Fleetwoodguy]

Yes, the fan does run, I seem to have a restriction in the expansion valve or the evaporator is clogged.

Let me make a suggestion - don't title your thread "A lot to digest so here goes". You've got a specific question to ask about a specific issue but you give the thread a general title that means nothing and could never accidentally attract informative answers to your question.

A title like: 1997 Fleetwood Discovery 36R A/C Problem would be so much better targeted. Or even: A/C Help Needed - '97 Fleetwood DP. Something, anything but "Here goes."

I did as you suggested and got back great drawings and troubleshooting guide, also House Husband sent a great link showing how to disassemble the dash and get to the evaporator and expansion valve with part #s. I think I`m all set on getting my dash air going now, I will keep you all posted on my progress. I probably won`t start this winter but should get going in late March. Thanks to all

Dash air on our rig will put a frostline across our foreheads. I almost fell out of my drivers seat when she first asked if she could turn it off!

Is your condenser fan running when the air conditioner is supposed to be producing cool air? That fan which is right in front of the front axle and should be running when ever the compressor is energized. Its easy to replace.

I also had one refrigerant line replaced.

I have a lot of pictures of the things I repaired and/or upgraded if you have any questions.

Here is an update, I was wrong, my condenser fan was not operating. I changed my dryer, pulled a vacuum for 2 hrs. re-charged system and had to high of pressure in my liquid line because fan was not working, got fan working and I now have A/C
