15K AC not working

Pulled my 05' 3400 out of storage today after 5 1/2 months sitting here in Ft Myers Beach FL.
Time to get it cleaned up for our trip north.

The main AC in living room won't turn on nor will the heat.
It clicks once and makes a sort of humming noise but nothing more. The heater doesn't make any noise or turn on. Checked the circuit breaker and fuse, both OK.
Have a call into a local Dometic Rep, but, naturally it's the beginning of a holiday weekend.

Does anyone know if disconnecting the batteries for the storage period might have anything to do with this ??

Any thoughts or suggestions ????

This is a common, (hopefully) simple one to fix. The fan motor is just stuck in place a little, it hasn't much oomph to start itself. Either a wasp's nest or just a stuck motor is easy to remedy, just uncover the A/C unit and spin the fan by hand, THEN turn it on, it should run for you.

Thanks OZZ,

That did the trick, AC now works.

Couldn't check the heater operation as its over 90 here and the unit wouldn't come on. Will check it early in the AM when its cooler

Yea, the heater is an electric element, it should work fine.
Glad you are up and working.
