The unit has been great for the last week. Last night no cold air. Control unit shows no faults. Water I'd circulating and pumping overboard strong. Any ideas?

If there is adequate charge in the system a common failure is the triac on the circuit board. A replacement online costs less than $10. We paid $8.95 and bought two # TG35F60, 600V from
www.jameco.com (Jameco Electronics 1-800-831-4242). Also the capacitor fails on occasion.

It is an electronic switch that shunts power in one of two directions.
