If your Thermo King Automobile Accessories unit's return air temperature is off, it could be due to several reasons. The unit may be in defrost or has just completed a defrost cycle, during which the temperature will increase slightly.

Alternatively, the evaporator might be blocked with frost; in this case, start a manual defrost cycle. If the unit hasn't had time to cool the cargo, refer to the load log history and make the necessary adjustments. Also, check the cargo compartment for air leaks, fixing any issues you find.

If the unit has just completed a defrost cycle, monitor the temperature to see if it returns to the desired range. If the evaporator is plugged with frost, initiate a manual defrost cycle. Conti...
