Carrier RV Rooftop AC Lite Blinks 5 Times

by steve
(overland park, ks, usa)

Question: I have a carrier standard rooftop a/c. It works in heating and fan only.The evaporator,condenser coils are clean,the compressor windings have good resistance readings and there is no indication of refrigerant loss(oil stains.

In cooling mode neither the fan or compressor come on, the green light blinks 5 times, stays off for 3 seconds then blinks 5 times. the red light blinks continously.

Robbie: You can try resetting the computer by disconnecting 12V for a few seconds but if the computer is bad you've got a bigger problem. Carrier AC manufacturer closed its doors a few years ago and parts are no longer available. The support line is no longer being answered when a tech calls. So even if you need anything for the AC all you can do is call around for a repair shop that might still have what you need on there shelf's. I can't find anything here in the San Diego area anymore.

Thanks for the Question Good Luck,
Robbie

I am having similar problem, however my carrier unit will cool. I have to disconnect the 12v often for it to come back on. Any suggestions to fix?

 4 blinks
by: Ted R

Just got off phone with former neighbor who is a RV repair tech. My unit blinks 4 times. He said to disconnect the house batteries then unplug shore line. Leave with no power for 30-60 seconds then plug everything back in. This gives the circuit board time to reset.

Mine flashes 3 times. Everything I have found says outside thermistor. I did read those don't go bad unless the wires have been frayed. Mine aren't. Does that mean my control board is bad? How can I test the thermistor?

I have a Coleman mach 15K that was converted to use a Carrier V lower unit and control. It runs for a couple of minutes then stops and gives 6 blinks for a couple of minutes then comes back on. I don't know if it's the Carrier brains or the Coleman upper half that is the problem and what it is?
