Possible Causes
Oversized unit for room, Thermostat sensor located in direct airflow, Dirty filters causing rapid temperature swings, Incorrect installation causing air recirculation
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before moving sensors or opening covers.
Steps:
- Check sensor location: Ensure the room sensor is not directly in the cold air stream from the outlet. On some Blaupunkt models, repositioning the sensor slightly away from the outlet can help.
- Improve airflow: Remove obstructions around the indoor unit so air mixes well with room air.
- Clean filters: Dirty filters can cause uneven cooling and rapid cycling.
- Capacity check: If the unit is significantly oversized, consider adjusting setpoint and fan speed to reduce cycling, or consult an HVAC professional about zoning or resizing.
