RE: Older Coleman Evcon 2.5ton quit cooling

HI Robert, Just wanted to give an update on my central air. The tech finally found the leak. It was in the filter that lays down close to the ground. Not sure of the proper name. What made it so hard to find was the filter was painted and rusted under the paint which made the leak harder to be expos...

RE: Older Coleman Evcon 2.5ton quit cooling

Hi there, Wanted to give an update on my older coleman suncutter. My heating and cooling guy was out yesterday and cleaned the unit real good. He said it only had 35#'s of pressure left in it so he put 100#'s in it and looked for a leak. No leak could be found and after 3 hrs the pressure did not dr...

RE: Older Coleman Evcon 2.5ton quit cooling

Hi Robert, With spring being right around the corner. I am starting to think about my A/C problem. I havent had the unit tested yet for leaks. I have been watching for used units......and surprising enough there are many! With this comes so much confusion. When I talk to folks who are selling one, I...

RE: Older Coleman Evcon 2.5ton quit cooling

Robert, Thanks. Sounds like a fair accessment. My furnace guy (which is the same guy who installed the unit) did say they do not hold much freon.......just a shame it isnt something I could test myself. Here's hoping it's a small doable repair! I rather buy one off season then to wait till closer to...

RE: pellet stove

Hi there, Just found this post. I currently have a Breckwell P23 that is approved for mobile homes. I have a double wide myself. It does a wonderful job heating the home but care needs to be taken in extreme cold with the water pipes. You must run your furnace to keep the pipes from freezing. I do t...

RE: Older Coleman Evcon 2.5ton quit cooling

Hi Robert, It has been awhile since we discussed this problem. I wanted to give you an update. My furnace shut down and I had my furnace guy come out. While he was here I told him about the AC unit. He checked the compressor and it is kicking on. However there is no freon left in the unit which does...

RE: Older Coleman Evcon 2.5ton quit cooling

Hi Robert, Yes, mine is a suncutter. I know this for sure due to it being stamped on the outside of the unit. I hope the diagram helps you with this other fellow. Ok, I did find the evaporator coil. It was clean. When you said it looked like a radiator...I knew I saw it. I'll try disconnecting the p...

Hopefully this will work. The BMP was a better picture. It could be enlarged but I didnt see where that file type was acceptable.

RE: Older Coleman Evcon 2.5ton quit cooling

Hi Robert, Just opened the unit and I'm alittle lost..........but some good news. Inside the wiring, I found the wiring diragram.....with the model number. My model number is 7430a601 (Bristol) I opened the case to expose what is there on the right side of the unit. It looks like a big fan. Diagram ...

RE: Older Coleman Evcon 2.5ton quit cooling

Hi Robert, Thanks for the additional information. Today I plan on opening the unit. I'll let you know my findings. I saw that other thread. I was wondering if it was a unit like mine. I do not have a wiring diagram. I can not locate any paperwork for the unit.....which is odd because I keep everythi...

RE: Older Coleman Evcon 2.5ton quit cooling

Hi How do I test to see if the compressor is running? I know the fan on top is running..........but how can I tell about the compressor? I wondered about that after reading different post. This weekend I will open the case and look for the A-coil. I really hope that it's just dirty. Should I run for...
