Possible Causes

Oversized Tosot unit for room size, Thermistor located in direct airflow, Dirty filters causing rapid temperature swings, Faulty room temperature sensor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before moving sensors.

  • Check sensor placement: Ensure the room temperature sensor is not directly in the cold air stream. Reposition slightly if possible.
  • Clean filters and coils: Restore proper airflow to reduce rapid temperature changes at the sensor.
  • Verify setpoint and mode: Avoid setting extreme temperatures that cause rapid cycling.
  • If problem persists: A technician may need to relocate the sensor or confirm correct unit sizing.
