Cruisair Carry-On A/C Problem

[John Trim]

This last weekend I spent cleaning my H260 & getting her ready for the summer. I have had my A/C off & sitting on top of cabin since November of last year. When I moved it there for the winter, it ran great. I had no problems at all. I re-installed it in the forward hatch this weekend and it would not work. It turns on and seems like the compressor operates but the fan is not blowing. The compressor runs for a little while then stops. I think because it gets too hot. I'm not sure but I think I need to take it apart and see if something (like spiders or other critters) have the fan stopped up. Anyone have any ideas, I'd very much appreciate them. Thanks in advance.

Which fan?

The one on the condenser or the evaporator, or both?If the evaporator (inside fan), the fan speed contol switch has corroded contacts. Use an electrical contact cleaner (say, from Radio Shack) and spray into the switch itself then work the switch vigorouslySee if the unit has any internal circuit breakers.If the condenser fan(outside) then the problem could be the high/low pressure switch. Your assumption about the compressor is correct.
