It works thank you so much!!! We are in over 107 degrees and I saw this video and fixed it!!!! You saved us !!!
Awesome, glad to help!
After watching your video, I found that the wire going to Thermal protector had heated due to a lose connection and had lost connection. I was able to repair it with a couple of wire nuts and a short piece of wire, Thanks!!!
Awesome, glad it worked!
Thank you!
Thanks for this video. After watching this video, I just realize that I don't hear that AC humming noise and that subtle compression sound. All I hear is a very loud fan noise. It's either high or low. It is one thing on my RV that I wished it was more reliable. It does cool after a very long time after turning it on, but no where near what I would consider "cool" But information is very useful though, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for taking time out to make this video
Glad to help!
YES! I am just heading out to look at a Nice RV that both units are having cooling problems! I Bet this is the problem on Both units! Thank You Very Much!
I have this same model and I'm fairly certain my capacitor is busted. I get the compressor hum as well as a pulsing sound but the fan isn't spinning. A capacitor replacement video would be super appreciated.
Yeah, I will try to record and post it soon. Maybe you would be able to record and send me those symptoms of bad capacitor, and I would include it in my video. Please let me know.
If your fan isn't spinning but your compressor is turning on, then it's the fan motor. I recently had the same issue and replaced it, works fine now.
@katie5808 thanks for sharing!
Okay cool I have this exact same one. I’m going to try this. Thanks my guy. If I can find your video again I will come back and give you update but appreciate the information. Either way is super informative. Thanks, Dawwg
👊🏻 Glad it helped!
In the future you can save it in a playlist. That's what I have done. Once I get a ladder I'm going to get up there and pray I can fix it.
Just had my dometic unit not perform when some friends came to stay the weekend in our RV. Thankfully overnight temps were in the 50s so wasn’t a big deal
Yeah, summer is almost over, we won’t need it much soon.
@@RV-time it was 97 that day
😅
Dang wish I'd checked this when I was camping this past weekend. Our replacement, new Dometic failed after just one season. We were told it needed to be replaced but that's kinda hard to believe.
Did you already take it to get work done?
Would it work for a 2007 domestic duo therm thank you.
Great info
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you
I have a 2018 Wolf Pup. I checked the overload and it is good. I jumped the overload and not any cold air. Where is the capacitor on the Wolf Pup. Thanks for your help.
It is on the opposite side of the AC unit.
Thanks for the info
👌🏻
Ok good I will check mine. Thanks
No problem 👍
Exactly my problem I was freaking out but now I'm not thank u so much
Glad I could help
The only thing that Dometic is good for is a boat anchor
😅That’s what I got a feeling off too… That thing is so loud inside the camper, you gotta choose between cold air or a headache in the morning.
Camper was used only 3 times when AC broke. Now Im carrying spare parts with me every time…
Mine works fine.
It would still cause a circuit breaker---somewhere--- to switch off!
Whales, are rumored to have circuit breakers.
They'd die.
So its best to put in a gun range, and use a M34 mini gun on it until its nothing.
:D

My overload protector when out but I only found one that says 220 v and my rv is 30 amp 110 v. Its safe to use it? Thanks
No, electrical parameters have to be exact match with the original.
But wait, I have the same ac and I didn’t see any capacitors up there? My is not turning on, fan not kicking in, compressor and fan both click but nothing . So I’m assuming it’s start up capacitors but I seen none? Mines a domestic also
It is hiding under the metal cover. You can see it well in my other video here:
czcams.com/video/dhmfj_ip2kk/video.html
Which overload switch did you use? I see some for $9-$10 and all the dometics are like $50.
Are they interchangeable or does it have to be the dometic one? Thanks
The main thing is to match the parameters of your existing overload protector. Either buy same exact model number, or look up the specs and make sure to buy correct replacement. I bought 2pcs. of Klixon brand for 1/3 of Dometic price, & it’s been working well for about a year now (about 5 camping trips).
@@RV-time I need the exact one you have, but having issues finding it on amazon. Did you order through the Klixon website?
Found it on eBay
you want one that has a 2250 watt set rating 3 hp
@@RV-time Wow! Just What We Needed! Thanks! Liked and Subscribed! I am on top of the world, with this information!
How hot is the compressor supposed to get mine is hot to the touch. This stops blowing cold air when it gets hot outside.
They get pretty hot, that’s normal.
Is yours cycling on and off when it is running (the buzzing noise)?
The refrigerant presence in my RV AC seems to go out after a few minutes, then possibly cycle back on once I change the settings and back again. I have a feeling it may be this.
🤞🏼
I replaced the capacitor and overload....still blowing air, but not cold air. What's next?
Probably low on refrigerant.
Is compressor turning on/off?
@@RV-timehow do you add refrigerant to the a/c
Unfortunately, often these systems are filled & sealed at the factory without a service port (how convenient huh!? $$$).
Only way is to tap into the low line and add a refrigerant port, where permitted by law (yes, how convenient for manufacturers…🤑💰)
@@RV-time wtf, this sounds too stressful, I’m not trying to replace a part that doesn’t need to be fixed, the simplistic thing to start and do would be the refrigerant. I’m commenting here because I read someone replaced that specific part you did and still nothing. I believe that it’s the refrigerant
The only thing going on with mine is that it's stupid old and the fan won't stay on and spin.
You can buy & replace just the fan.
Easy fix😂😂😂😂
👌🏻😉
Does it matter what overload you purchase, I cant find the one that was in mine and cant get any information on what it is to try and match up with something else that will not take weeks to get. B500-150-141E is the number, Please help!!!!
Yes, overload protector specs should be matching your system requirements. I found the same ones that you have available on eBay here: ebay.us/9bfJS5
@@RV-time I’m having the same issue. The number on the side of mine is MRA12053-56B (B might be 8, I can’t tell) Klixon. I’m not sure how to find out the specs or where to get the same one. Any tips?
Check on eBay as well.
