Check the condenser line. My ac is a floor unit and was turning off after about ten minutes, so i ran a vinyl tube from the drain through the floor and out. Since then it has not stopped running. Now it just doesnt keep the room cold.

It sounds like your air conditioner is doing what it is supposed to do. The compressor kicking in and out is an energy saving method of using the ac. When the thermostat (ball attached to evaporator coil) registers the set temperature the compressor kicks off.

When the air condition reaches the set temperature to cut off the blower motor keeps running and i have the thermostat set to auto on the settings.

check the operators manual but you will probably find that the fan will keep running so that the air in the room is circulated past the thermostat so that the temperature can be monitored and the compressor switched on when the temp reaches the upper limit

Portable Air Conditioning great portable air cooling

Portable air conditioning offers you the convenience of mobility. All you have to do is roll the portable air conditioner to the room in which it's needed. Install an exhaust hose out a window or other opening (everything you need is provided) and turn it on. The installation process for these units is very simple. These portable air conditioning units are built small enough to be very mobile and are supplied with wheels for easy movement. A portable air conditioner will also work very well in apartment situations where you will often find a window unit is unacceptable.

Portable air conditioners are very unique in that they are portable and can be easily moved to different locations in your home or business. They can be a highly effective way to either help out an existing HVAC system in one room or cool a single room entirely. They are also one of the best ways to cool a room or area without having to install a window mounted unit.

These air conditioners use a compressor and Freon to cool just like normal air conditioning. They are very effective in cooling rooms and to keep the humidity low. Like normal air conditioners portable units extract hot air that must be vented. That is why they need to have the exhaust hose to the outside. These units can cool air as well as air conditioning done with window air conditioners. However they do not require installation like conventional window air conditioners this makes them very convenient for seniors or physically challenged people. Most portable air conditioners are supplied with a window kit. This kit contains exhaust hoses that will work in any window: double-hung, casement, awning or slider. Because they vent through an opening like a window they require no permanent mounting like window air conditioning.

Portable air conditioners are a very good cooling option for those who can't use the more conventional air conditioning methods. Remember though that this type of unit is not as efficient as most window units or conventional air. So while they may make your environment cooler, it won’t turn your tent into a room at the local hotel.

So as you can see these air conditioning units have some great advantages over other types of air conditioning. They are a great alternative for unique applications where central air or conventional window units are either unfeasible or too expensive. During special events, portable air conditioning can also be a great way to keep guests or equipment cool and comfortable. Always be aware though that because portable air conditioning will remove moisture from the air, they will also need to be drained occasionally similar to a dehumidifier.

Does your application warrant a permanent air conditioner of some form or should you just use a portable one? There are some interesting things to consider when making that choice. Weigh out all of the different options and make that decision based on what will best suit your needs.

Delonghi pacl90. Lost manual, don't know what setting is best for cooling my house. I have a small 850 sq ft place. Should 1 side be blowing out hot air, and the other side have cool air?

Unfortunately, I don't think you're going to be able to find a setting to best cool your house. The model that you have, is a room air conditioner that only generates 10,000 BTU's and is only rated for up to 400 square feet. That's about half the square footage of your house. It simply will not cool your entire house.

To make the most of what you have, place the unit in a room where you spend the most time. Close the door to that room and only air condition it. To keep the other areas a little more comfortable, close the drapes or blinds during the hottest periods of the day. If you have a ceiling fan in that area of the house, run it a fast as you can comfortably stand, in a clockwise rotation. Generating a wind chill in the area that's not air conditioned will help make it more tolerable.

I hope I was of help to you. Thanks for choosing fixture.

The portable air conditioning unit turns to air conditioning mode to fan mode and back every 5 to 10 minutes. Is this normal?

Yes, Nicole it is. If the room is cooling down like it should. It actually is saving you money. As the compressor uses more energy than fan.

Hope this helps you.

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 lg wall unit (LWHD1009R) 10,000 btu the compressor keeps turning off after it gets going. even though I have it on a low temp. the comressor turns off after 5-10 minutes even though the room is not cold

either going off on low charge which would cause it to ice up, which means you need refrigerant. or high head pressure might just have to clean the coils or check condensor fan.

How do you switch the air condition to auto

You can switch it to power saver mode, it would cut the fan when compressor cuts off as well. The other stting just cuts off the compressor. If your unit is too small for a room it will keep running, or it you dont have good insulation in your house.
