Possible Causes
Room temperature below operating range, faulty room thermistor reading too low, control board calibration error
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: If you need to open the unit, unplug it first.
Steps:
- 1. Check room temperature: Use a separate thermometer to verify actual room temperature. If the room is very cool, the unit may be operating normally.
- 2. Power reset: Unplug for 5 minutes and restart. If LO persists and the room is not cold, continue.
- 3. Inspect room sensor: Access the control area and locate the room thermistor. Ensure it is not touching the cold evaporator coil, which can cause false low readings.
- 4. Test and replace sensor: Measure resistance and compare to spec. Replace the room thermistor if readings are incorrect.
- 5. Control board: If the sensor is good but LO remains with incorrect temperature readings, the main control board may need replacement.
