SOURCE: air conditioning unit not cooling

the problem sounds like a defective capacitor its located on the condensing unit outside, also a contactor that is used can be defective also.

SOURCE: ac not blowing cold after outside temp reaches 98 degrees

Sounds like you have dirty condenser coils. Remove the upper shroud and check the condenser for clean. Take a water hose and gently spray out the coils paying special attention not to bend the coils over with too much pressure. This will allow more air movement through the coils and give you better cooling efficiency.

Hope this helps,

Jeff

SOURCE: Carrier Air Conditioner- not reaching set temperature

if it is set to 76 degrees and its 78 in the house its working fine it is suppose to shut off once it reaches 76 but sometimes there is a 1 or 2 degree differential built ini would keep you filter clean and as long as it blows out cold air i wouldnt be to concerned most airconditioners need yearly cleanings though

SOURCE: Dometic ac with atwood 1h2c thermostat will not come back on

Just a guess, as I am not familiar with the solar assist, if the stat is wall mounted I would remove it and verify if there is wither standard batteries, or a "watch" style battery. hope this helps

Air Conditioning temperature to be 78 degrees. Should both Numbers on thermostat show 78? Honeywell PRO 3000

On the thermostat, the two temp readings are showing two different settings, one is the setting temp that you are selecting, and the other is the room temp.

Temperature on the thermostat reads 78 and does not change even though ac is running and the room temp is 74. If I raise the setting to 80 the ac cuts off. temp does not change from 78

if the ac unit is over 7ft from the floor, that would explain what is happening
the thermostat only reads incoming air from the room and if that thermostat is higher than the people in the room , what your are feeling is the cold air but the unit is reading the hot air above you and will continue to run until the whole lot air up to the thermostat is cooled down
but setting the thermostat to a higher setting your are setting the thermostat to that uncooled air temp and so it will switch off

Outside unit runs for about 5 seconds then shuts off for a few seconds. It repeats this cycle.

Put in a 5 minute time delay. It is a two wire device in line with the contactor. Sounds like it is set to 75 turns of at 74 and repeats. The tstat should have a differential of 2 degrees as well.

Can not get temp below 77

Is the thermostat set up for automatic change over from heat to cool? If so, the heat is probably set for 75, you will need to lower the heat setting in order to Lower the cooling. the stat won't let these settings with in 2 degrees of each other so the heating and cooling don't fight each other.

What tempratues should be set on a honywell 4 cycle thermost during the summer months

As a general rule set your t.sat 20 degrees below outside temp. Leave at this setting 30-45 minutes. Move down until comfortable no lower than 10 degrees below outside for 30-45 minutes. Unit should cycle normally. If it runs continuously then raise the t.stat 3 or 4 degrees up. The national average is 75-78. I usually keep mine set at 80 during the day here in Georgia and 74-78 at night...

Oven temp set at 350. only heated to 310 after 1 hour! Set to 390 before reached 350. What to do?

Use an oven thermometer Try to figure out if by setting it to 390 it will maintain 350 accurately. (A 25 degree change while it cycles is normal. It will probably overshoot before going off and undershoot a little before cycling on.) If so the thermostat has just drifted. Pull off the control know and look usually there is an adjustment on the shaft to change the temp showing on the knob. set it up 50 degrees. If the knob can't be changed just know that you have to adjust yourself. If it won't maintain a steady temp the thermostat is bad and will need to be replaced. The thermostat will be over $100 it may not be worth it. If this is a computer controled unit (pushbutton temp selection) the sensor needs to be replaced. This is a lot cheaper than a thermostat.
