Troubleshooting An E5 Error Code On An Advent Air RV Air Conditioner
Question:
Hello, controller has been work fine for weeks after installing, but now the controller is constantly flashing E5. Double checked all connection, found no issue with wiring. Any suggestions? P.S. unit was purchased last year from eteailer.com. Thank you

For an Advent Air RV Air Conditioner # ACM135 an E5 error typically indicates a communication error between the controller and the thermostat, but it can also indicate an issue with the thermal probe. The thermal probe is typically latched onto the coils up in the condenser unit to detect when they start to freeze to stop and thaw the unit.
The first step is always going to be opening up your air distribution box and checking all connections and the wiring for any damage, which you've stated you've already done. I recommend also checking that probe which should run from the controller to the condenser unit. If it's not in a good spot or the connector to the controller somehow got loose you'd start seeing this error.
If you still can't find the cause of the issue then the controller may be bad. If this is from another system and you just replaced the condenser with the # ACM135 then it may be time to also replace your air distribution box and thermostat with part # ACRG15. This will give you new hardware and mesh better than a mix of different brands.
