Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need to replace the entire condenser unit?
Replace the condenser unit if your AC compressor has failed, if you hear grinding or rattling noises from the rooftop unit, if the condenser fan isn't running, or if the system runs but produces no cooling. If only the fan motor or capacitor has failed, you may be able to replace those individual components instead.
Is this a difficult installation for a DIYer?
This installation requires working with refrigerant lines and electrical connections on your RV roof. You'll need to recover the refrigerant (requires EPA certification), disconnect electrical wiring, remove the old unit, install the new condenser, reconnect lines, and recharge the system. Most RV owners hire a certified HVAC technician for this repair.
Does this come pre-charged with refrigerant?
No, this condenser unit does not come pre-charged. After installation, a certified technician will need to evacuate the system, check for leaks, and charge it with the appropriate type and amount of refrigerant specified for your AC model.
Will this fit my specific Dometic AC model?
This condenser unit fits specific Penguin and Blizzard series models. Check your AC's model number (located on the unit's data plate) and verify compatibility before ordering. If you're unsure, contact our parts specialists with your model number for confirmation.
