83 Tri Cabin A/C replacement

Post by nitro115 »

Hi all,

one of my A/C's is completely locked up, the compressor is shot. I've tried everything possible from repl. capacitors, hooking up a hard start, etc. - the compressor won't turn. This is a Cruisair 12,000BTU Type J reverse cycle unit, 115V version. Does anyone know where it could be found?

Here is a photo of what it looks like:

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your prompt reply! I've found a dealer really close to Lake Norman and will call them tomorrow.

Please post results of diagnostics and what option you shoos either repair or replace.

A/C is a big topic on the board and would appreciate the info.
