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. Part of this upgrade means that nothing made with the R32 coolant in it fits any system made before 2025 that has the older R410A coolant. R32 is more efficient but none of the new components work with the prior systems like yours.
So even though your AC system is only a few years old, in order to replace the AC unit you have to replace the entire system. This includes the AC unit, the air distribution box, and a thermostat if you have one.
To replace your 15,000 btu air conditioning system, you'll want the GE Appliances Deluxe Plus RV AC System item # GE72ZR. This system comes with a 15,000 btu air conditioner for a ductless setup, an air distribution box, and a thermostat.
What RV or trailer do you have and is it a ducted or ductless system?
