Upstairs unit will not shut off after set temperature is reached. If set at 78, it will still be running and the temperature will be 76 or lower. It does stop eventually on its own or when I trip the breaker. Doesn't do it with the downstairs unit and there is no correlation between the downstairs temperature setting and when the upstairs turns off.

SOURCE: No air flow upstairs

Cold air is denser than hot air, so is harder to move. All vents have some mechanism to regulate flow, so close all of the downstairs vents. Check to see if your furnace fan motor has more than one speed, & set it on maximum. Keeping the fan on all the time will help as well. If all else fails, you may need a more powerful fan motor.

Does the blower indoors run and move air? if not it would mean that you don't have power to the furnace.
The 24 volt transformer in the furnace is used to power the thermostat and the control circuit on the A/C unit outdoors. Or you could have blown a fuse on the computer board in the furnace.
If this has helped please rate me, and If you need more help, give me some more info.
Thanks,
Paul

The refrigerator keeps shutting off and coming back on periodically

Hello Jeff;

My name is Peter. I am a retired field service refrigeration technician.

That tells me your unit is working normally. If it was running continuously then you have a problem.

1.) Every 8-10 hours your unit will shut down except for the lights. At this time your defrost heater will come on for 20-30 minutes to defrost your cooling coils. Then your unit will come back on.

2.) You compressor will turn on when your have reached 10-20 degrees below temperature. It will shut off when you have reached 10-20 degrees above your set temperature.

3.) The normal settings for your freezer is -2 to 2 degrees F. and the normal setting for your fresh food section is 35-40 degrees F.

4.) Make sure you clean your condensing coil. This dissipates the heat from your unit every 6 months. This coil is either in the bottom front or a canister located in the lower left hand side in the back of your unit. Unplug your unit if you have a canister.

Possible that the sensor is not reacting and so does not set to the data required in the program. Try and see what is the error factor for the switch on and off which will give an indication of the sensor error. If so this must be replaced. otherwise you can use the error to set it likewise., higher or lower.

AC Thermostat is set to 78 but wont cool past 79 or 80

If your unit is running 24/7 you are either low on charge or the unit is to small for your house.
A 20° temperature difference is about normal for the room air vs the air coming out of the ducts, but the room air and the leaving air should keep getting colder and colder.
An air conditioner should cycle approximately 3 maybe 4 times in an hour if it's properly sized.
As for the thermostat thermometer they are very cheap and are more for reference than actual temperature, so if 78° is not comfortable, then you should set it lower but not rely on thermostat being accurate or what the thermometer is saying as long as it is consistent.
The air conditioner and thermostat can also be set below 78°, there's a lot of people set them at 72° and below with no problems.
the only thing is if you have real low humidity you'll need to watch indoor coil or the suction line (the big line) on your outdoor unit and make sure it doesn't freeze up on you.

Weather King Heat Pump

Hey kellyrepp -- Three things to check quickly, so many things can be wrong, but i will try to help with the info you gave me.

The first sounds like your electric aux heat is not wired in or not working correctly , this should kick in when the heat pump cannot keep up with desired set temperature. For sure thats a problem

The second thing i would check is that the compressor for that unit is running. It should sound exactly like the one for the upstairs, the fan noise should be like a whrrrr , and the compressor should be a semi loud hummm.

Third feel the pipes on the outside unit that are on the outside of the unit (the unit for the second floor) Let the unit run for 5 minuites. Now check that the first floor unit pipes are the same tempereture. They are about 110 degrees or so, depending on the outside temperatur , be carefull not to burn yourself. If the lower unit is colder , the two most prominent problems would be #1 the compressor is not running #2 Low on freon.

Hope that helps
