My Coleman / RVP 8000 Series air conditioner is acting up. I had the RV in storage and when I turned on the air, the fan would not start. It tried to turn, but just hummed.
Went up on the roof and shot some PB Blaster onto the shaft (it is very rusty) and then turned the fan blade with a screwdriver.
Went inside and turned it on and it worked fine. Worked fine for about 5 days with normal on/off cycling.
Yesterday it tried to turn on, but just hummed. Went up on the roof and lubricated and turned with a screwdriver.
Once running, it runs fine, but at startup it squeals and strains for about 10-30 seconds.
What is the best remedy? Sand the shaft and lube it?
