Front ac/hear pump acting up

[69hondo]

I got a Duo-therm model 630516 that the fan barley runs and the compressor kicks off after a few seconds. If I switch to fan only it runs but again barely meaning slowly but it doesn’t shut off. Any suggestions or directions?

Im assuming its a RV AC? Its probably a capacitor that helps the motors run. Look at the electrical drawing and find a capacitor

I would climb up on the roof and pull your covers off, and check all connections for corrosion. You can all replacement parts on Amazon for pretty inexpensive.

Same here.

I also installed this soft start devise and it is like night/day on cycling, especially when on a generator. You can't even hear when the compressor kicks on/off.

Cycling on the generator was my first sign. It would bog so hard. Runs like a champ now.

Update.
It was the capacitors.
