Possible Causes
Oversized system, Thermostat located in poor location, Dirty air filter, Low refrigerant charge
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before moving or rewiring any thermostat or control components.
- Filter and airflow: Replace the air filter and ensure all vents are open to reduce temperature swings.
- Thermostat placement: Ensure the thermostat is not near supply vents, windows, or heat sources. If it is, consult a professional about relocating it.
- Thermostat settings: Enable a longer cycle rate or compressor minimum run time if your Trane thermostat supports advanced settings.
If short cycling continues, a Trane technician should evaluate system sizing, refrigerant charge, and control strategy.
