How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before moving sensors or opening covers.

  • 1. Check airflow: Ensure that the indoor unit intake and outlet are not blocked by curtains or furniture.
  • 2. Verify setpoint: Avoid setting the temperature extremely low/high; use moderate settings.
  • 3. Inspect room sensor: If the room sensor is external or on a wired controller, ensure it is not near heat sources or in direct sunlight.
  • 4. Clean filters: Dirty filters can cause uneven temperature sensing.
  • 5. If short cycling continues: A technician should check sensor calibration and system sizing.
