How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off power before moving sensors or opening covers.
- Clean filters: Ensure filters and coil are clean to stabilize airflow and temperature sensing.
- Check sensor location: Make sure the room sensor is in the main return airflow, not near a window, door, or heat source.
- Adjust setpoint and fan: Use a moderate set temperature and continuous fan mode to reduce cycling.
- Consult installer: If the unit is significantly oversized, consider control adjustments or zoning solutions.
