Laid in Van on left side. when bringing it into house leaned on right side. Put in place at 2:00 pm. Tried to start it 10:00 am next day. Motor came on but does not cool. unplugged and let rest again overnight, still won't cool. Unit was used 1/2 years, then stored for 3 years, prior to us getting it. So it's really fairly new. Do we just need to wait l;onger for it to settle, or is there a reset button to getit to work? Boyfriend did turn temp nobs from 10 to factory settings. COuld that have been a factor? lindamusiclee@yahoo.com:confused:
