Is it suppose to keep gearing UP and DOWN? My AC tries to go into high cool, but after a few minutes, would slow down. ANd keep repeating this. Thx

Not sure. Are there any obstructions to the outside venting? The cooling (compressor) will cycle on and off, but it shouldn't be doing that in short bursts.

Hello Julia... it is. This is a power saving feature. The AC gears up until it reaches your desired temperature and it gears down to save energy. After the cool down it gears up again to regain the temperature. Greetings.

It may be overheated. Mine did this sometimes after it was on for a long time. Try turning it off and giving it time to cool.

Do you hear the motor speed drop as well? And are you running the hot air rework at the same time. It did it to me the other night I had the iron, rework wand, and the smoke absorber on all at the same time. And when the heating element kicked in my air would drop. Then come back when the iron turned off, then start again when the iron needed to heat. Did you remove the red plug from the bottom? And if that fails crack it open and see if any lines are loose, or cracked. If all else fails write me back and I'll help ya more if I can.-patrick

I have the unit in my basement and wasnt watching it consistently after starting it up, but it cooled down down from the mid to high sixties at the start to the low to mid fifties (desired settings) within 2-3 hours. It has consistently remained at 53/54 degrees for the two zones respectively for the past few months. I'm very satisfied this far. Hope that helps.

I have a single zone also. My a/c is not automatic at all, works just fine. I read some peoples it didnt work,but i have no complaints.

seems to be a problem with some of these units. mine will do that every once an awhile right now it is not doing that . I think it has something to do with moisture in the unit and temperature

generally, thermostat set too high ,above180try turning the stat down.hope this helps.

It does run. From my experience, depending on the temperature you desire and the size of the room, it will cool to the temp requested and then go to a fan mode until temp rises again. Then it kicks back into cooling mode. The problem I run into, and maybe it's because of the size of my room, is I want 70 degrees and can only barely make it to 75 (maybe). I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong but it does stay cool in the room and that's all that matters. In my case, it pretty much runs constantly on cooling mode until I turn it off but, like I said, it depends.

Hmmm. Just make sure you have humidity level at 50 or 55, fan on auto. Open windows? A no no. If all that doesn't work, sounds defective.

I too haven't had any issues. There are heat settings that you can adjust. If it doesn't heat up, you may have a defective unit.

I've had issues with the AC plug into the back of the unit. Try moving it around. I got it to eventually work. Happens time to time maybe a new AC adapter too?

Mine did that initially. Up and down between 49 and 53 and the fan kicking in every couple of seconds. I raised the temperature to 55 and it stopped doing that.

it sounds as if something tripped the reset button on the plug end of the power cord. See page 3 of the manual. page 3 also says to be sure the AC sits upright for an hour before running it. If it had been stored on its side, put into the wall and immediately turned on this could cause a temporary overload that would trip that switch. If the switch seems ok, check house fuses going to that line. read page 12 and if nothing there helps try calling the manufacturer.

It worked on my hunter, but the fan wasn't as fast. Fast setting now is Medium, Medium is slow, Slow is barely moving. I might have a bad capacitor, but the slow operation started when I changed the switch.

Did you make sure the temp +/- is set to the temp you want? Every time my power goes off or o unplug it, it resets itself and I have to reset the temp to blow cooler. Also, there is a setting to blow just room air around. Make sure you aren't accidentally on that. Download a booklet and see where the settings should be to blow cool. These things don't have freon, do they??? If so, it could need coolant. When you cleaned it, could you have a loose connection inside somewhere? I've never had trouble with mine, like others seem to. But usually it is because people aren't draining theirs, but trying to use it with it plugged up. And even though they say they'll work that way, they don't. The water must drain. I really love this thing, but using it is complicated.

Picked one up today and it does the same thing. They should at least mention it in the manual. I wasn't sure if it was normal. Apparently it is. Thanks for bringing this up and thanks for your follow up.

Are you sure you wired it correctly? Maybe you mixed up the heating circuit with the cooling circuit? If that's not it, I'd get a new one. Why take a chance?
