Re: Air Conditioner Help Needed

Hi dlauginiger,

To me, it sounds like the compressor does not have adequate cooling and is cutting out on the thermal overload. This switch is a bimetal switch that presses against the compressor...

Re: Changing out AB Cold Machine fan

I think you will find that the AB board will not supply over one ampere and, therefore you would need to drive the fan through a relay. Many boaters would balk at a 3 amp fan load on a refrigerator...

Re: Advice on air conditioner for 1995 Beneteau Oceanis 440

With respect to brands of self contained units, of course I only see the units that are giving a problem. Although I have worked on most of them, I cannot say that one brand is more reliable than...

Re: Advice on air conditioner for 1995 Beneteau Oceanis 440

Caribe,

So far, no response from other boaters. I agree, the self contained units look best for your application. It may be possible to use one unit for the forward cabins and one unit for the...

Re: Advice on air conditioner for 1995 Beneteau Oceanis 440

Hello Caribe,

I am probably not the best responder to this thread, since my boat is much smaller than yours although I do have a Cruiseair installed in my aft cabin (sailboat). However, I am a...

Re: No HEAT or AC. Please help.

Hi michels280,
I have no experience with a Marine Air Chiller system, but most such systems have a low pressure cut-out switch in the refrigerant system that will not allow the compressor and sea...

Re: Ocean Breeze marine air-conditioner problem

Another possibility for a filter to check is in the return air. Often, there is a filter where the return air enters the evaporator. This filter can clog with dust and reduce your air flow, causing a...

Re: Cruisair Air Conditioner / Heater Problems

Re: Flagship Air Conditioner

Re: Cruisair Air Conditioner / Heater Problems

As I remember the function of the SMX II processor, it should display the ambient temp when you turn it on and remember the settings by the owner from the last time it was turned on. So the 99 degree...

Re: Noisy seawater fridge pump

If yours is a centrifugal pump you may have some air in it. If so, try loosening the outlet hose to vent the air. I recently had a centrifugal pump which was not pumping at all, due to an air lock.

Re: Re-filling Danfoss based thin plate system

Re: Fridge high current draw

Are all of the channels in the evaporator frosting? If so, the system is at least full, but possibly still overfilled. If the channels near the exit are not frosted, do not take any more refrigerant...
