We are replacing a coleman air condiotoner with a duo therm unit and we are not sure if the wiring is the same

If the Air comeing out is the same as the temp inside the RV make sure the compressor is running and not just the fans. It could be low on freon. If freon is ok then you would need to ck the wiring to the selector switch for a short. It would be obviouse because there will be melted wires. I am leaning toword low on freon since you have already been inside the wiring/control unit.

useually a sticking fan relay in the controll board this is the closeest unit to a home based cenral air system and i would leave this one to the experts if you want to trouble shoot there is a detailed wiring diagram on the back side of the pc board cover on the fan and compessor unit it self there is a seperate relay for each speed on your unit make sure getting power to selected relay if not trace wiring and do continutity tests back to themostat

it could be the (LP) low pressure switch which would shut the unit down

Well, it sounds as if you have a Coleman rooftop unit. If you have a start capacitor with a PTCR (Postive Temperature Coefficient Resistor) then it is different than if you have a Potential Motor Starting Relay. Why are you replacing the run and the fan capacitor?

Here is a link to the documentation that you need. If you do not have a Coleman and it is in fact a Duo-Therm, let me know the model number and I will be able to pull up the wiring schematic.

Thanks,

I replaced one unite with another and the wires are differance colors the old unites wires are red,purple,yellow,bleck and white the new one have orange,brown,cream,darkpurple,and white

Sounds like a stuck relay on the unit itself. Maybe there is a short in the control wire that comes from the thermostat that activates the fan.

The thermostat probably has one hot wire at all times. The thermostat then chooses which wire to send the voltage down based on your selection. One of those wires is probably for the fan only. Make sure that it is in good condition (no bare, pinched or wires)

wht u mean by uf .send details
