A?C recommendation

Post by Monty »

My AC (Dometic DTU16-410A) has died with a Ground Fault Trip that we can't identify the source from and assume its internal to the compressor or other difficult to isolate source. It is 6-8 years old. It is not the pump or AC supply line as they have been tested. Any recommendations for new brand/model? Anyone else have the GFI issue that was repaired?

Hi Steve,

If you want to check the compressor itself, go to YouTube and in the search bar type in "testing ac compressor with multimeter". You'l find several good videos.

I have used Ocean Breeze OB18.5 120v units in both my C34 and now my C 350. This company is great on service and Technical support. The OB18 is the only 18000 btu unit that is 120 v I think.
My boat is located in Fl and I spend a lot of time in the Bahamas and this size keeps the boat really cool. Ocean Breeze is located in Stewart Fl and Alex is the go to on everything.
