Escape A/C problem

[Anne H]

Well, I thought I would clean out my trailer after a recent trip - but it was over 90 degrees out But then I thought, "I have A/C" - and this would be a great opportunity to use it - since I had it put in 2 years ago, I think I've turned it on a couple of times to test it - but never actually used it.

Alas - the fan runs but the cooling did not happen. I tried the 'Test' and 'Reset' buttons (usually I only have to do that after the trailer battery has been unhooked for the winter) - but that didn't help.
The filter is sparkling clean.

I checked Curtis Trailers and another place they recommended to look at it but no one seems to want to look at a unit that isn't roof top mounted. They seem to think that it might be freon-based vs ammonia-based and, in any case, Frigidairre may have recalled it (???).

I can't get anyone to look at it.

Any ideas??

What kind of AC is it? How long did you let it run? On some units, the compressor will not start until after the fan has been running for a few minutes.

Frigidaire - installed by the Escape folks in a cabinet over the fridge. I know it worked when I picked it up.

I let it run for over an hour - and then at least 15 minutes after I tried the Test/Reset button.
