How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before moving sensors.

Steps:

  • Compare temperatures: Use a reliable room thermometer placed away from the unit to compare with the displayed temperature.
  • Check sensor location: Ensure the room thermistor is in the return air stream, not touching the coil or near hot electronics.
  • Avoid heat sources: Do not place lamps, TVs, or other heat sources directly under the indoor unit.

Technician recommended: If readings are significantly off, a technician can replace the room thermistor or adjust calibration if supported.
