Danby Portable Air Conditioner DPAC120068 - room temperature

I just purchased a Danby Portable Air Conditioner DPAC120068.

I hooked it up over 3 hours ago, at the start, the room temperature displayed at 82 degrees F. Since that time the temp has only fluctuated between 79-82 degrees F.

I have the a/c temperature set to go down to 70 degrees F, the setting is on cool, the fan is on high, but the temp is not going down.

What could the problem be with this? Since it is new out of the box today it makes no sense.

I bought a Danby Dpac120068 3 days ago. when I turned it on; room temp displayed 81 degrees. I set it as follows: air conditioner, high, temp 61 degrees.

It's been on for three days and temp fluctuates between 81-83. I turned on another air comditioner(5,000 btus) in the adjacent room, opened the door, turned on the ceiling fan in the same room the dpac120068 is situated, and room temp still displays 81 degrees. The exhaust hose is very hot to touch. Cool air is felt if you stand directly in front of the the Dpac120068, but rest of room is still warm. What could be the the cause.? Ready to return this item,unless someone can tell the cause.

Maybe, the compressor isn't starting? I'd take it back to where you purchased it.

Where can in get a set of exhaust/intake hoses for a danby dpac120068 air conditioner

Is there a reason not to just go to the Danby site? Support Danby includes phone support, email and "Find Parts" Even if their source is out you should at least be able to find the correct part number, then Google Danby (part number).
You could also look to see if generic flexible vinyl tubing/hose can be substituted. It's doubtful that Danby created their own hoses.

I have moved my Danby DPAC120068 Designer Air Conditioner to my basement to use it as a dehumidifier. What do I need to do? Do I vent the unit still?

No matter were you place it, it must be vented just like before. Which may be difficult in a basement, depending on how high off the floor the window(s) may be. As a basement dehumidifier, don't expect much. As, an AC/Dehumidifier it only has a 4 pint per hour capacity and then will have to be drained.

Hope this helped you and hanks for choosing FixYa.

Danby portable air conditioner will not turn on. Just beeps and the display will not power on. Emptied the water, no effect.

I have had the same problem with mine. Try to tape the small water container drawer shut. Restart the unit and see if the beeping is beepless.

I need to replace a hose on a Danby portable airconditioner model # DPAC120068

The first place to start is with the manufacturer, Danby 800-496-6049. Or take a section of the hose with you and go to your nearest home center and purchase a similar hose (same diameter) and use all the existing fittings that you have, to remount it with the new hose. There are several types available that will work well for this type of application and probably last longer than the original hose did.

Hope this helped you. Please let me know. Thanks.

I just purchased a used portable air conditioner, a danby dpac120068. It is not producing any water when in dehumidify mode. Also, it seems as though the air conditioner is on even when in dehumidify...

Hi,
The A/C will be on when dehumidifying... that's how it does that...
If it is not collecting water, it is probably because the humidity is too low in the house already...

I would give it more time....

Danby ALSO does not cool 3 days old

Take it back where you bought it. A 12,000 BTU unit should be more than enough for a 192 square foot room, so there is some problem with the unit.

Getting the room down to temp....

Danby Consumer help line: 800-263-2629 This is the best I can do for this product line having no information. From my knowledge and experience working with refrigeration and air conditioning there are a few things you should check. Check the voltage being supplied to the unit to insure it is with-in 10% of the name plate specifications. Check the air intake and exhaust hoses for good air flow and that the exhaust is not being recirculated into the intake. I suspect that your problem may be due to the compressor possibly overheating and tripping the internal overload protector. These take time to reset.

Room temperature has not changed since hooking up new portable a/c

This may sound dumb but ( 1) Do you have the warm air from the unit to the exterior of the space? If the condenser is in the space your putting the heat your trying to remove right back into the space. ( 2 ) There should be an air supply and an air return in the space only. With that there should be a temperature difference of 16 to 20 degrees between the supply and return. ( 3 )A 1 ton unit usually will cool approximately 400 square feet. ( 4 ) It may take a while to pull the space temp down due to pulling the heat and moisture from the ceiling, walls, and floor. This could take 6 hours or more the first time you use the system in a space.
