AC issue

We have a 2000 19. The air conditioner is now giving us issues. We have noticed it's not as cold as our previous trailer ('2013 13) but now it has stopped blowing the cold air altogether. When we turn on the AC the compressor kicks in but the blower doesn't. When I take the cover off and give it a spin it'll keep spinning and work as usual. What should we do? I'm happy to replace parts but is an 18 year old ac worth fixing? Help!

I would clean the fan blades and pot a drop of oil in the fan shaft.

If the above doesn't fix the problem, replace the motor run capacitor, for a lot less money and time than a new air conditioner will cost.

Odds are you have a Coleman MiniMach?...
If so, its worth the effort to try and repair,

Good advice in above posts.

It is a good A/C and only 7200BTU.
