You might want to take a look at the fan on the unit it may be sticking after sitting for a while cases the unit to trip the breaker had the same problem a while ago and that's what it turned out to be. Many units are supposed to be service each year and the fan motor may have an oil inlet in it if it drys out this sort of thing happens.
