Possible Causes

Oversized unit for room size, Thermostat sensor located in direct airflow, Dirty filters causing rapid temperature swings, Incorrect installation or refrigerant charge

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Steps:

  • Sensor location: Ensure the indoor ambient sensor is not directly in the cold air stream; it should sense room air, not supply air.
  • Clean filters and coils: Dirty components can cause rapid temperature changes at the sensor.
  • Mode and fan: Use Auto fan and Auto mode to allow the Gorenje control to modulate output more smoothly.
  • Professional check: If short cycling continues, have a technician verify refrigerant charge and system sizing.
