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: air conditioner compressor will not shut off.

Remove the cover on the outside unit that covers the circuit board and contactor and capacitor. Then start the unit and set the thermostat so that the unit cuts off. Then go back to the outside unit and see if the contactor is still pulled in and the unit is running. Next open the breaker and see if the contactor drops out. If it doesn't your contactor could be stuck. Try to free it or replace it. If not the problem could be in the circuit board.

Testimonial: "contacter was welded shut. replaced contacter.working good now."

Can i set it to a temperature that will allow it to turn on and off automatically

Any temperature you set it at, the AC unit will turn ON and OFF automatically. Once the set temperature has been reached and held for 5 minutes, the unit turns OFF, but the fan may continue to blow for a few minutes. When the room temperature rises above the set level, it will automatically turn ON again and continue to run, until the set temperature is reached and it turns OFF.

I really hope this has helped you and thanks for choosing FixYa.

I have a Goodman mini-split system with a remote control. When I set the remote for a certain temperature in the summer to 80 degrees, the unit reaches that but then keeps dropping the temperature another...

How far from the unit or room do you have the remote? remember the remote is the sensor, if it isnt near the unit it will not shut off! place the remote 8 feet from the unit and leave it there, if it doesnt shut off, it was installed wrong or is malfunctioning!

My home's Air Conditioner shuts off and on until reach temperatur

You have some issues that probably need to be addressed by a Certified Tech asap. There's an off chance that it could be just thermostat related. If you feel confident on doing what I'm about to instruct go ahead and try it.If you turn off electricity to your unit(should be marked as A|C or furnace or the like if you have the unit on and turn off at the panel it's easier to locate) you can take the cover off your thermostat and you will find various wires. Unscrew the R, Y, and G wires(if they;re not colored red yellow green make a diagram as to which goes where) and twist them together, Then turn electric back onto unit. If the unit runs normally as it should, then you have a thermostat problem and need to get a new one right away. Remember you unit is worth $2,000 to $6000 don't let and electrical malfunction compromise the value, if it.s not the thermostat get someone qualified to look at it. Leave it off til they get there. Good Luck

How do you set the temperature

If you have an air conditioner with a temperature display, use the up or down arrows on the touch pad to change the temperature setting.

However, if you have an air conditioner with only a dial that goes from 1 to 8 (or whatever number), turn the dial up as high as it goes and put the fan speed on high. When the desired comfort level is reached, slowly turn the dial down until the compressor just shuts off. You will be able to hear when this happens.

If the temperature gets a bit too warm turn the dial up in small increments and wait an hour or so to see if your comfort level is reached.
