Rinker 250 Fiesta Vee Air Condition no cooling

Peter13

Hello, this summer I noticed that my air conditioning is no longer cooling. Everything works, sucks water and pushes it out through the thru-hull. Cal pump etc ok. Unfortunately, no cold air comes out of the blower outlet under the stairs in front of the underfloor. Does anyone know if this can be due to a loss of coolant (leakage) and whether this can be checked and refilled?

Thank you very much for Tips !

It can be checked by a HVAC tech and recharged if needed.

Even though you have good flow I would bleed the system and make sure there isn't air bubbles in the system.  Be surprised how that can effect things.

Hi, thanks for the reply .

Hmm... vent? How should I imagine that?

I took off the cover on the cal pump and checked the small impeller. I then replaced the filter with sight glass and the hose. After that it sucked in sea water by itself and everything worked. Only cooling was not.

Does the compressor kick on and get hot?

If not, and if the AC unit is original to the boat, chances are it's reached the end of its life.  You can have a HVAC tech look at recharging it and the tech will likely indicate if s/he feels there is a leak in the system.

If it needs a charge then it absolutely has a leak however the compressor could also be shot either way your going to need a HVAC tech to check it out. Keep us posted.

Thank you for the information. I'm happy to report what's wrong with the air conditioning when the technician was there.
Unfortunately that won't be until next season, our Rinker has been out of the water since last week and is now in the winter hall.

Check the air intake also, if it has a screen or filter and it’s clogged, that can cause no cooling also.

Thank you very much . I will implement your tips as soon as I can take care of the air conditioning. for a test run or

generally they start, I have to go back into the water first.
