Front a/c runs in fan position and stops on a/c position
Went out and started the RV today to exercise the genset. After 5 minutes turned on the rear air, then the front a/c. I have 2 separate manual thermostats for the front and rear air. The front a/c fan would come on with the thermostat set to fan setting, but as soon as I set the thermostat to the a/c position the fan shut off. I waited a few minutes with t-stat set to a/c then tried turning off the rear air and starting only the front with the same results. Both ways the fan runs on fan setting and shuts off on a/c setting.
From searching posts on this forum it sounds like a start and/or run capacitor is bad on the front a/c unit. I suppose it could be something wrong with the thermostat start delay system.
I have 2 questions,
1.) Is it possible the start delay could be keeping the a/c fan and compressor from coming on when the t-stat is set on a/c?
(I waited a couple minutes when set to a/c)
2.) Where is a good place to buy replacement capacitors?
The coach has a 30 amp system with a manual selector switch to run either the front or rear a/c with shore power or both when gen is on.
