Skipster Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 it started making a bad noise like a fan was grinding then quit. rather than repair it we would like to replace it with a unit that is quieter. we can't use it because its too loud. I turned it on last week and now it just shuts down and no fan comes on. I've looked at different threads on ac replacement but need advice. skip and cyd nielsen hull #822 Elite tow vehicle 2017 jeep trailhawk v6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geronimo John Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 It is my opinion that when Houghton gets around to offering a remote thermistor and low speed fan cut off relay as standard OEM option, they clearly will have the best unit on the market. It is exceptionally well built, super quiet and energy efficient. I believe the best unit out there. There are two mods that can be done that totally resolve the humidity issue caused by their Set 2 design. However, they require HVAC and Electrical skills that are well beyond most owners. One OOPs and you have voided the warranty and are most likely hosed...... So, until then, for general use, I suggest doing a good technical spec side by side study of the options. Then carefully read and question lots of reviews. Most importantly delay buying a unit that is new to the market. Being a first adopter has unforeseen risks.

J All they'd have to do is produce an optional control board- one that has DIP switches where you could select between utilizing the built in thermistor and an external thermostat and one to select between an always on fan or only on when compressor running. I'd buy one of their units tomorrow, and I bet they'd get a lot of sales of those upgraded control boards, too... 1 1 2010 Elite II, Hull #45. 2014 Toyota Sequoia Platinum 4WD 5.7 with tow package.
