Unit frequently turns on and off (short cycling) without maintaining stable room temperature.

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.
