AEG Short Cycling / Capacity or Control Issue

Unit frequently turns on and off (short cycling) without reaching set temperature

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Oversized unit for room, Thermostat sensor too close to supply air, Dirty filters causing rapid temperature swings, Refrigerant charge issues

Safety: Basic checks only; refrigerant work requires a technician.

Clean filters and coils: Ensure unrestricted airflow to reduce rapid temperature swings at the sensor.
Check sensor location: Make sure the room sensor is not directly in the cold air stream from the outlet.
Avoid extreme setpoints: Set a moderate temperature (e.g., 23–25°C) to reduce cycling.
If short cycling persists: Have an AEG technician check refrigerant charge and control logic.
