Here is the latest regarding the a/c saga. Unplugged everything, then tested the inside fan, 1.4-1.5 amps, runs fine. Compressor #1, no fans attached, 8.0 to 9.5 and basically steady for a short time I let it run without fans. The outside condenser fan 2.9 to 3.6, but the fan is not running and makes a humming noise. Compressor #1 and both fans, 14.1 total amps, and increases 1/10 amp per second. I previously misstated the increase at 1 amp per second. A refrigeration man got under the coach during this last test and concluded that the fan blade turned roughly when he tried to turn it with a screwdriver. I would not run even when coaxed. He concluded that the bearings were bad or needed oil (he thinks there are two oil tubes on top of the motor). He said the capacitors looked good and were the best available, but did not have a tester. He is convinced it is the fan bearings. My plan is to remove the top from the compressor to get access to the fan. Any comments or suggestions? Again, thanks to all.
