Yuh I remember those threads about the defective t-stats.  If I recall there is some sequence of button pushing on them to do a reset on them as well I believe.]]> Sun, 16 Jun 2013 21:11:56 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3602&PID=34390#34390 Air Conditioning : Thanks for the good humor.

Sounds like getting a loan at a bank. You have to prove you don't need it before you can get it. LOL

Ok that checks one possible problem off the list.  With the mode set to A/C I assume you've tried pushing the temperature on the wall thermostat all the way down?  The thermostat could be bad.  If you think you can figure out the wiring behind the thermostat - specifically, which two wires tell the A/C to turn the compressor on - I would do that next to see if its possible to force it.  Those wires will run to a switch triggered by the thermostat's temperature lever.  If you can force the A/C to turn on then you know the thermostat is bad. ]]> Wed, 12 Jun 2013 21:18:46 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3602&PID=34280#34280 Air Conditioning : Techntrek,Yes I,ve done that the... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3602&PID=34233#34233 Author: Rocktub

Are you able to get the fan to work by switching the fan setting to "on" instead of "auto"?  That will at least confirm you have power going to the A/C. ]]> Tue, 11 Jun 2013 22:03:00 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3602&PID=34228#34228 Air Conditioning : Just pulled the pod out of the... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3602&PID=34224#34224 Author: Rocktub

Just pulled the pod out of the storage lot,got it home and plugged it into a dedicated 30Amp. outlet No,AC.
I have checked all circuit beakers on the R-Pod and in the house.The  thermometer reads  E and rotating numbers. Any one out there with a suggestion.
