Consumer Description

THE DEFROST PORTION OF THE HVAC UNIT DOES NOT WORK AND HAS ONLY WORKED INTERMITANTLY FOR SEVERAL YEARS. AT FIRST I COULD NOT GET ANY AIR ON THE FEET POSITION, BUT THOUGHT THIS WAS JUST LOW AIR FLOW. THE DEFROST NOW DOES NOT WORK AND DOESNT MATTER WHAT POSITION I HAVE THE UNIT ON, FLOOR, DEFROST ETC. THIS TO ME IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I SEE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE. I DONT BELIEVE IT HAS EVER WORKED PROPERLY. WHEN YOU NEED THE DEFROST, IT IS USUALLY OUT OF CONCERN FOR VISILITY. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR MANY OTHER RAM OWNERS. *TR
