2019 22FB Sport A/C Not Cooling

[SteveF STLMO]

Hope someone can help. Am traveling and camped at an RV Park near Santa Fe, NM. Very Hot today and after returning from a day trip discovered the AC unit is not cooling. The speed control dial when set in the High Position results in slow fan speed and little to no cooling. I have cycled the unit off/on multiple times, checked the surge protector, reset the box breaker all with no success. All other systems seem to be working properly. I have searched the forums and not having much luck finding related threads so any suggestions on what I might do to trouble shoot would be greatly appreciated.

Don't have a 22' Sport so not sure what the climate control is like. Mine has a thermostat that gives fault codes when the power to the A/C is too low.



Have you checked your breaker panel? If you have a store/run switch cycle it on/off. Are there other 120v accessories, like a microwave, you can run to test power into the trailer?



Good luck! I feel your pain. It's about 100 deg where I am and the interior temp in the Airstream got up to 91. Wish I could run my second A/C.

What is the voltage at the outlets in the trailer?

[waninae39]

it the ac voltage is too low, neither the Air Con nor the uwave will work

Hi Steve, This may seem overly simplified but I have a 2018 Sport 22' and I thought I had a similar problem but check the knob position very closely as the knob for the air is reasonably symmetrical and could be pointed 180 degrees off. At least that what I did and have done a few other times. I'm going to mark the knob better.
Good Luck.

Hi Steve, I had somewhat the same problem as you and called the AS dealer. He said to always leave the fan on Auto and then put it in Cool Mode. Making sure that you are not running on program 1 or 2. It then worked fine for me. Good luck with it.

I wish there were an alternative to the Domestic thermostat and AC for AS. That thermostat is so very hard to program.

Good Luck.

Your reply reminded me of the basic tenets of troubleshooting whereby you eliminate the most basic possibilities first. Sure enough by making the adjustments as you suggest I now have a comfy and cool AS in the high desert Southwest. Have used a permanent marker to make a few set points and oriented the knob properly so I don't mess this up again. Thanks to all who replied, printed out the entire thread for future reference. Happy Trails!!!

Could you post a photo of the knob?

I don’t understand where that is located.

Thanks

Steve I am also in Santa Fe. I’ve also been very frustrated with airstream AC units. I am physically located at the Rancheros de Santa Fe campground. I have a 2016 28 interstate. Even airstream is giving me a variety of telephone fixes. Anyway if you’re nearby 501-258-7717. Leave me a message and I will contact you back

On the AS 22' Sport, the controls is not a wall thermostat. The best way to describe is the control is basically like a window unit. No temperature settings, the higher the cooler.

This may be obvious, but your unit is a heat pump and can provide both heating and cooling. I don't know what the control setup looks like but even if the fan is set to Auto and you adjust the temperature setting you may have to be sure that the correct mode is selected, either Cool or Heat.

I mention this because when we first got our Classic I had the fan turned On and tried to adjust the temperature and got nothing but recirculated warm air. I tried the fan on Auto with the same result. Thought the unit wasn't working. It wasn't until realized I had to select Cool mode that good things started to happen. Duh.

This may not apply to your situation, but just a thought....
