Hi: Thank you for coming to Just Answer with your question. My name is XXXXX XXXXX perhaps I can assist you with this issue.

 

I need the make and model of the A/Cs and the style of thermostat and make as well. Do you have a small multimeter so we can do some testing?

Customer replied 311 days and 14 hours ago.

I do have a volt meter. I just need to run out to the RV and get the info one the A/C units

10-4

Customer replied 311 days and 13 hours ago.

The A/C units are Coleman Mach units and the thermostat is an Intellitec dual control unit

What circuit board under the fridge did you replace? And you replaced the whole thermostat unit with a new one of the same kind as the one you just mentioned?

Customer replied 311 days and 13 hours ago.

Did you check to see what kind of AC voltage you have AT the service breakers for the A/Cs? And do you have a 30 amp or a 50 amp shore cord?

Customer replied 311 days and 13 hours ago.

At the main breakers in the RV the A/C units are 20 amps.

Expert:  RANDALL replied 311 days and 13 hours ago.

And do you have a 30 amp shore cord (3 prongs) or a 50 amp cord (4 prongs) here?

Customer replied 311 days and 13 hours ago.

30 prong

Customer replied 311 days and 13 hours ago.

3 Prong

Expert:  RANDALL replied 311 days and 13 hours ago.

So you can only run one A/C at a time unless you have the generator on. You did know this correct? Take an AC voltage reading at the main breaker for the whole system AND then one at the A/C breaker at the feed wire. What kind of voltage do you have? Do you have a switch on the wall so you can choose front or rear on the A/Cs?

Customer replied 311 days and 13 hours ago.

Yes I know that I can only run one a/c unit at a time, and the climate control (Thermostat) has controls for both. It doesn't matter if the generator is running or if it is plugged in (30 amp) the a/c units stay in the shed mode and never come on. The only way I can turn on the a/c units is by switching the test switch on the INTELLITEC ELECTRONIC CLIMATE CONTROL MASTER CONTROLLER

Picture
Expert:  RANDALL replied 311 days and 13 hours ago.

You turn on the test switch and either one works?

Customer replied 311 days and 13 hours ago.

Yes the test switch has a stop for each a/c unit, they are "test" "1" "2"

When I get home I will grab a manual for this system and get back to you. No response is needed as every time you do I have to answer it. R.J.

Expert:  RANDALL replied 311 days ago.

Intellitec took down the manuals off their new website.............that kind of sucks. Did you get any manual with the new one you installed?

Customer replied 310 days and 22 hours ago.

No

Expert:  RANDALL replied 310 days and 22 hours ago.

Until I get can some documentation on this I am pretty much not able to proceed. We know that the A/Cs work........so it isn't that. It much be in the control or the way it is wired.
Or it is defective. The thermostat section isn't working...........and without the manual I can't direct you in testing. Perhaps give Intellitec a call at(NNN) NNN-NNNNand have them direct you in some testing. R.J.
