Dometic fan help please....

Had a new Dometic AC installed last month. It worked great for a few weeks, Now we are in Terlingua,TX with the temp in the high 90’s up to past 10o and the AC fan has quit. Just slowed down more and more and quit. We have a PD ems and it shows 16 amp draw and my voltmeter shows 111 volts with the AC running. I think I saw something about this as an issue on the Air Foruns. Is there any possibility of a jack leg fix while on the road? Has anybody seen this issue? We were gone for the day when the issue developed. It was cooling very well with gobs of airflow when we left this morning. Am on a caravan and would hate to have to cur the trip short but am a wimp in hot conditions. The dog does not like it either.

I am going to search the forums. The cell service here fades in and out and the phone sometimes picks the time up from Mexico so searching is iffy,

Update: now it is working again. I turned it off for about an hour. Took the cover off and unplugged and replugged it. I NDA find out that there was a power failure of some type in the campground. I did get some strange water drips. I suspect that the coils were frozen shut for some reason. Glad to be cool again. Actually cold but my wife will not let me adjust it again.

It was operator error. I had the thermostat set to max cold and the fan on low and I think it froze up. Glad to have it working again.
