Default cool cat making noise, but fan not coming on to move air

03c190P. My cool cat clicks on, and I get sounds like it is running. No air is moving. Getting good AC from campsite pedestal or generator. Has done this once or twice before, but only briefly. We're one week into an 8 week trip in the southern US, so we'll need to have cooling. We're in Waco, Tx right now.

Any help? Thanks. Steve.

Had a similar problem last year. Ended up being the fan area having several large mud dauber wasp nets built In the fan area.

Ended up removing all the nests, used a shop vac to clean the entire fan area, air ducts.

Lubricated the fan motor shaft.

End result was a very quiet running with great air flow Cool.Cat Unit

Steve, you probably know, but maybe it just freezes up?

Thanks for the advice!

Whew, false alarm. I opened the thermostat and checked the wires. The fan wire was not making contact, appears to be a broken wire right at the connecting block. Man, I was s*tting bricks there.
