I had an issue with the air(fan) blower almost not even blowing and the temp not cooling. I turned off the air conditioner and then back on and the same result --- water was being pumped as usual . I left for an hr and left air off and when i came back and turned it on again and everything came back to normal--- What can cause this?
Regards,
Cliff

I have seen them freeze up and stop working. But you are not stating then it was on before.

Sounds like a classic freeze up. Was it very humid? On very hot/humid days, this does happen. When was the last time you cleaned the coils? If you have a lot of dust or dirt on them, the water collects and freezes.

We stayed in it over night not really humid and it was running all night and about 3-4 am was not blowing hard and not blowing cold air just a little cool--- what puzzelled me is the fan on the air conditioner was bailry blowing --- then after I cut off and came back it all started working right with fast fan and cold air?? Think it froze up? if so what can I do to fix that ? I have not cleaned the coils since we got it 1 year ago---Is it hard to get to?

I own a 298 Vista and my marine air unit is located under the settee in the cabin. I had to yank out the partition under the settee that was right in front of the Cruisair coils and that allowed me to clean the coils with coil cleaner. Then, I cut to fit an Absorber Odor Control Air Filter and topped it off with a Filter Fresh Whole Home Air Freshener. That was the first time I was able to clean the coils properly because of how tight the fit of the Cruisair unit was in the settee and they were filthy.
