Troubleshooting An Advent Air RV Air Conditioner That Doesn't Turn Off When It Reaches Set Temp
Question:
replace a dometic with the advent adv44fr and it works great but the unit will not cut off when it reaches the set temperature. I thought the advent will work with all the dometic wires just like they are. Any thoughts?

The temperature probe for RV AC units is actually up in the air distribution box controller which can kind of throw off what temperature the unit thinks it is. Hot air rises and can get trapped up by the probe causing it to think it's still not where it needs to be. The typical fix for this is to adjust the air dampers in the distribution box and/or to keep the fan running so that it circulates the cool air up to the probe.
As for the wires, there shouldn't be any issues with them being a different brand. The only issue you could be facing with wires would be if there was any damage to the wires (bent, kinked, smashed, cut, etc.) or if there was a loose connection. I recommend checking to ensure the wires are damaged or loose to rule this out.
Lastly, the thermostat/controller could just be defective from the manufacturer and will need to be replaced.
