#754480November 13, 2001
EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
ELECTRONIC CLIMATE CONTROL DISPLAY TOTALLY BLACK. DISPLAY STARTED TO LOOSE INTENSITY ABOUT 2 MONTHS PRIOR TO BECOMING TOTALLY BLANK. MODULE STILL SEEMS TO WORK FOR NOW. HOWEVER, OTHER THAN BY GUESSING, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE TEMPERATURE, AIR FLOW, FAN SPEED. I HAVE NOT YET GONE TO THE DEALER, BUT I AM GUESSING THIS WILL BE A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR, SINCE THE ENTIRE MODULE WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO BE REPLACED. *AK
