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. Bill

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.

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.

Talked to the local Pod dealer, found out some interesting info. The thermostat that I have will not come on when the Temp. is to hight. Duh? He gave me a new thermostat at no charge. He said Forest River did not charge him so he is not going to charge his customers. he has given out aprox. 80 units. I'll install the new one in the morning. He has been telling some people To hold up a package of frozen peas against the thermostat.To get the unit started, until they can come in.

There was a thread about defective digital thermostats somewhere either here or on the nation.

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

"No, we aren't having peas for dinner tonight. I brought them in case the thermostat goes bad."
