Our 2010 Pod has developed an issue with the A/C unit. The Dometic A/C compressor will not shut off until the circuit breaker is flipped. It runs even if the analog-type control is in the Off position or the thermostat is moved to 90 degrees. The fan DOES respond to the thermostat and controls and will shut off, but the compressor keeps running. I might guess it is a defective thermostat/control unit?
Thanks for any input you can provide!

To me, it would make more sense that it would be a stuck relay in the AC unit on the roof, not a defective thermostat.

Just talked to the Dometic rep. Evidently the control board must be replaced...and the analog thermostat replaced with a new digital model. Thought perhaps the relay was available separately. About $106 for the new pieces from Dometic.

$106 isn't too bad, all things considered. It is much less than a new AC unit. Given that it is a 2010 R-Pod, it has had a long life already.
