I'm a new 380 owner. My A/C was working fine until I shut off my shore power. When I restrated shore power a few minutes later the A/C would not turn on. Any thoughts?

Two thoughts

The first thought would be to hold the power button for a few seconds and this should turn the unit on. If that doesn't work, check the circuit switch in the lazarette in the cockpit. Chip

ground fault reset

there are two plugs (on my 2003 380 #379) that have red rectangular reset buttons on the receptacle outlets. one is in the head, the other by the refridgerator. these can trip due to moisture or an overload. also, check the shore power connector to the dock supply. if the shore cord does not twist lock, you may have a big problem. my dock connection was not such that the cord from the boat would twist and lock. it came loose, lost ground and welded the leads in my shore power cable and fittings on the boat. ( i have two... one for a 16000btu in the main salon that is separated from the regular boat curcuit that carries a 12000in the aft cabin along with other ac components. $300 dollars later all is working again....marina did not seem to feel responsible. another good test, is to find something that is ac powered and check all of the outlets. if you find one side or the other is blown, it is the ground fault switch in the head or galley. just reset it and it should work. rt

Check the high pressure side reset switch

My ac unit in my 310 has a saftey switch on the high pressure side of the compressor. If the water stops flowing or you have some air in the line it will cause this to trip-normally its on the copper pipe at the a/c unit Hope this helps Ken S/V Juliet Catalina 310 Hull #282
