Does the readout read the temp of the discharge air rather than the room temp?

SOURCE: air conditioner is frosting up.

Frost is caused by the refrigerant pressure being too low on the low pressure side of the system. That is, the compressor has more ability than the cold coil is using up. This can be caused by insufficient air flow over the cold coil or a shortage of refrigerant.

Insufficient air flow can be caused by a dirty coil, filter, or blower wheel, or collapsed ducts, to name a few. It is most likely that some of the refrigerant has escaped and the leak needs to be repaired and the refrigerant topped up to the right amount. You'll need to use the proper gauges, a good thermometer, and read the chart that is glued inside the access door on the condenser, or...check for any available repairs that are free because of your warranty.

I did know of a Sears 5,000 BTU window air that was simply designed wrong, but that was many many years ago.

SOURCE: Improper Termperature Readings during AC run

personally i'd just replace the thermostat, but try pulling the front panel off and look on the circuit board and see if there is a jumper for F/C or any other settings. you may try changing its position. you can also remove the batteries for 15 minutes and see if it resets itself. the only other thing it could be is a wiring issue.

SOURCE: unit not blowing cold air

you have a slow leak in your refrigerant and need to find the leak. you will have to get an AC repairman to come to your house and check it for leaks and fix the problem.

WHY DOES MY FURNACE SHUT OFF BEFORE REACHING TEMP

Hi Demetrio
Furnaces turn on and off based on what they're told by your thermostat. The thermostat, in turn, will control the furnace based on:
  1. The temperature AT the thermostat.
  2. What the internal heat sensor thinks the temperature of the air is.
So, if your idea of 68 degrees is what the thermostat thinks is 71 degrees (thermostat reads three degrees high), then when the air by the thermostat gets to about 65 degrees (by your account), it'll think it's 68 degrees and shut the furnace off.

Also, if the thermostat is, say, near a source of local heat, like a lamp, a big piece of electronics, a fireplace, or that place that you habitually set down your coffee, then the air right next to the thermostat may be warmer than the rest of the room, and fool it into thinking it's at it's target.

The sensor is usually inside the housing for the thermostat. If it hasn't been dusted in a while, then it can be hard for air to get inside to affect the sensor, though this would generally cause it to lag on readouts and run the temperature higher than you wanted.

If you have a digital readout, and the system is saying , hey, target is 68, and the readout gets to 66 and the system cuts off the furnace.... my only other guess is that the unit may have features that are trying to prevent overshoot - i.e. by the time the temp at the thermostat actually gets to 68, most of the room is more like 73. That'd depend on your particular thermostat. At that point, you may want to call customer service with the manufacturer and tell them the issue. There may be ways to adjust the unit to get behavior closer to what you seek.

Good Luck!

Trying to set temp on honeywell t-stat

I believe what your experiencing is the 75 degrees is the hold temp position...the display then reverts back to the actual room temperature...it doesn't mean the set temperature changed back to 65 degrees. Try to reprogram the thermostat schedules, and try not to use the hold function...just the temporary hold. (which is bumping the programmed temperature up or down until the next programmed period)

Wont shutt off

Have you tried other settings? Try 77 or 80 and see if it cuts off then. If not, suspect a stuck relay on the control board or faulty sensor. I assume you have cleaned the condenser and air filters?

Where can I get a manual for my Emerson Quiet Cool Room Air Conditioner? Not sure the model, but these #s were on outside of box: 10DC93 784040B OE21M N14421, is on a little sticker on the right...

Let see if I can help. The numbers don't come up so we'll just try your information.

Exhaust - should be closed when using for Air Conditioning
Energy savings turns the fan off with the compressor when set for Air Conditioning
Fan Only means just that (no Air Conditioning)

Fan speeds Quite same as low, Norm same as medium, Super same as High
Temp settings, what the thermostat senses before cycling compressor.

My thermostats seems to be stuck. I set the AC to 80 and it keeps running despite the room getting down to 63 degrees.

Either your thermostat is stuck or the sensor detecting the room air is broken. If their is a digital readout telling you the room is down to 63 then I would say the thermostat is stuck but cannot be confirmed without checking with a meter
