Bryant air conditioner cycles on and off normally but thermostat temperature reading seems inaccurate.

Safety first: Turn off thermostat power before removing it from the wall if hard-wired.

Steps:

• 1. Compare temperatures: Use a reliable thermometer near the thermostat to compare readings. A difference of more than 2–3°F suggests an issue.
• 2. Check location: Ensure the thermostat is not near lamps, electronics, exterior doors, or supply vents.
• 3. Insulate wall opening: Remove the thermostat and seal the wall opening behind it with foam or insulation to prevent drafts from the wall cavity.
• 4. Replace thermostat if needed: If readings remain inaccurate, consider replacing the thermostat with a compatible Bryant or universal model.
