COMPLAINT
Unit Does Not Cool/Heat Room Sufficiently, Or
Cycles On And Off Too Frequently (continued).
Unit Runs Too Much.
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com
CAUSE
The outside temperature is below
●
60°F (16° C).
The digital control is set to fan
●
cycling mode.
The air conditioner has insufficient
●
cooling capacity to match the heat
gain of the room.
The air conditioner has insufficient
●
heating capacity to match the heat
loss of the room.
This may be due to an excessive
●
heat load in the room.
It may also be due to an improperly
●
sized unit.
This may be normal for higher
●
efficiency (EER) air conditioners.
You may notice that the discharge
●
air temperature of your new air
conditioner may not seem as cold
as you may be accustomed to from
older units. This does not, however,
indicate a reduction in the cooling
capacity of the unit.
SOLUTION
Do not try to operate your air conditioner in the
●
cooling mode when the outside temperature is
below 60°F (16° C). The unit will not cool properly,
and the unit may be damaged.
Since the fan does not circulate the room air
●
continuously at this setting, the room air does not
mix as well and hot (or cold) spots may result.
Using the continuous fan setting is recommended
to obtain optimum comfort levels.
Check the cooling capacity of your unit to ensure it
●
is properly sized for the room in which it is installed.
Room air conditioners are not designed to cool
multiple rooms.
Check the heating capacity of your unit. Air
●
conditioners are sized to meet the cooling load,
and heater size is then selected to meet the
heating load. In extreme northern climates, room
air conditioners may not be able to be used as a
primary source of heat.
If there are heat producing appliances in use in the
●
room, or if the room is heavily occupied, the unit will
need to run longer to remove the additional heat.
Be sure to use exhaust vent fans while cooking
●
or bathing and, if possible, try not to use heat
producing appliances during the hottest part of the
day.
The use of higher efficiency components in your
●
new air conditioner may result in the unit running
longer than you feel it should. This may be more
apparent, if it replaced an older, less efficient,
model. The actual energy usage, however, will be
significantly less when compared to older models.
The energy efficiency ratio (EER) and cooling
●
capacity rating (Btu/h) listed on the unit's rating
plate are both agency certified.
