My 5 CruiseAir units are 16 years old and running well...I know I'm running "on borrowed time"!

Just got a call today my marinaire unit is shipping back to me today. Thankfully it hasn’t been too hot so getting by with the salon unit and a fan…. Still not impressed….. they said they would send me an email explaining the cause and correction but got nothing yet
Yes that’s not good….. and what’s up with the wires?…. Can’t you go behind?Still contemplating how tho clean up the old SMXII hole…
Getting the wires pulled is a litttle more difficult than it would seem…they gotta go up over and around…no direct route strait down.Yes that’s not good….. and what’s up with the wires?…. Can’t you go behind?
I think your only option is a cover plate or find matching vinyl and cover the plate
Ouch..that's gonna hurt when it comes time to replace. On mine, the compressor failed along with the expansion valve and it would have cost more to try to fix than it was worth.My 5 CruiseAir units are 16 years old and running well...I know I'm running "on borrowed time"!
Drill a small hole for the wire, then build a box and mount it on the boxSo far they have stepped up. Originally, I asked if they could ship UPS, but they said that UPS damaged their AC units in shipping. I went with the standard and free Fed Ex.
I think the issue is how they have the units packed...there is no protection on that pipe, so if it gets turned over on shipment, it will bend/smash that pipe. I think its more of a packaging issue. They need to add some support around that pipe, then I don't think it would matter. That pipe is the one damaged, and it right were the packaging stops.

However, still looking forward to getting it installed with the new touch screen thermostat. No more 3 fingered double secret handshake to change setting on the old SMX II. However, still have to work out how to mount the remote...requires a hole to be cut. I prefer a mounting plate of some kind. Otherwise I'll run out of places to cut holes.
