HOT SUMMERS and WHY DOES IT NOT COOLWe’ve been accused of having all the answers: WE SIMPLY DO NOT!

Most questions are asked by owners of 10 year old and older coaches. That explains a lot: Is your in-sulation like new? Are you condenser and evaporator coils like new? Is your compressor, it’s switches, it’s capacity control unloaders like new? Of course not! Any or all of these may contribute to it not cooling like it once did. You can do needed maintenance and restore SOME of it’s shortcomings.

www.WELCH INDUSTRIES.com650 Red Oak Rd., Stockbridge, GA. 30281

770 - 474-1150

No. 1 -- CLEAN the evaporator coil - with a good coil cleaner, spray it on, let is soak for 20 minutes and clean with a good hose wand that is designed to spray directly between the fins: We have them for $35.00 +UPS.

No. 2 -- CLEAN the condenser coil - with coil cleaner as above + a good water hose.No. 3 -- CHECK compressor: All heads pumping? A point-and-shoot-infrared thermometer will tell. ($25.00 +UPS.) Between top 2 bolts on side head, and between bottom 2 bolts should be over 30 degrees apart, near 0, a bad unloader or broken valves, if 10-20 deg. apart, probably at least 1 broken valve. These 3 checks along with good maintenance and refrigerant level will help.Another handy: Compressor clutch hub nut socket: $165. + UPS.
