The Replacement Air Distribution Box w/ LEDs for Furrion Chill RV Air Conditioner - Electric Control # FACT12LA-PS you were looking at requires an electronic thermostat, however, you can go with the Replacement Air Distribution Box w/ Built-in Thermostat for Furrion Chill RV Air Conditioner - White # FACT11MA-PS instead. This has integrated knobs to control the unit. This fits AC models FAC1411MA-W, FAC1511MA-W, and FACR14SA-PS.

Hey Melanie. The reason you can't find a replacement for your GE ARC15AACBL2 15,000 btu air conditioner is because they phased them out. In 2025 all RV AC systems had to change over to a new coolant called R32. This was a EPA mandated decision.…
