Cab Heat / Air Conditioning Issue

[Kioti Paul]

A question related to this topic. Is there a max temp that will cause the A/C to cut out??

There is a switch on the dryer that senses the pressure of the refrigerant. If the pressure drops below the set point, it opens and prevents the compressor from operating without adequate freon.

There is a 'pop-off' valve on the compressor that opens and bleeds off refrigerant if the pressure becomes too high. Other than that, I am not aware of any switches to protect against overheating.

Roger, thanks

Finally, an unfortunate update: After four calls to the dealer, they finally called back. Dealer has no fix, they spoke with Kioti and Kioti has no fix, Kioti has no intention of fixing. "... just one of those things, I guess...". I think that is actually worse than when this same dealer told me to crack a window open to get rid of the moisture on the windows.

In reference to information from earlier in this thread, why would they fix the NX and not the RX? Time for Kioti customer service i guess.

You are a patient man. You have a 2018 cab tractor that becomes virtually unusable in normal winter conditions because the glass fogs up so badly that you can't see out. Your only work-around, which you had to find for yourself, is to unplug a part of the HVAC system.

I know it's not what you want to do, but here's my suggestion. Write a polite but firm letter to Kioti corporate, with a cc to your servicing/selling dealer. Faithfully recite the history of this problem, and the steps you and the dealer have taken to deal with it. Note that this is not only an operational issue, but a safety issue as well, due to the impaired visibility. You consider this clearly to be a warranty issue that Kioti is obligated to resolve, and indeed should want to resolve quickly. Close by requesting a response within ten business days as to how Kioti proposes to proceed.

Did you ask about part number TE16-A0083A? When I called my dealer, he inquired about the part number with Kioti. Kioti sent the kit and approved the warranty work. The kit is just a wiring harness, actuator motor and new controller. You would think it worked across the different lines of tractors.

I would imagine the same. If you had to call dealer four times, I'm doubting there ever was a response from Kioti. Call another dealer and tell him what its doing and see if he's heard of this issue with an RX.

I installed the kit on my 7320. It's a game changer.

Same on my 2017 NX. Again, his dealer is an idiot.... not Kioti. His first or second post says 'he hates to call them, they were bought out....... " He already knows theyre idiots but still wants to believe them that Kioti doesn't care. FALSE.

Think you have an answer. Time to call another dealer.

I never indicated, or meant to infer, that Kioti does not care; was just relaying what I was told by the dealer. Thus far, this is indeed a dealer issue, and the patience has come about because I try to give the dealer the benefit of the doubt. The four phone calls were in the midst of or perhaps very shortly after a buy out, so I had to extend my patience a little (at least I thought that would be the right thing to do). I think that at this point in time the dealer has failed, the next steps is when I get to find out whether or not Kioti cares.

Thanks, all!
