Air conditioner thermostats are located at the front/top of the evaporator coil air inlet where they can monitor the air temperature coming back into the unit from the room
most are a small tube or bulb attached to the fins

    Thank you Bill for the answer, however it did not help me because it did not address my specific model.

    as explained --for the thermostat to work , it has to be in the incoming air flow so that room temp can be monitored
    window box systems , split systems, car auto air conditioners , deducted air systems all have the thermostat in the incoming air flow( return air from the room) so the make and model would be immaterial if you know what you are looking for

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

Compressor indicator light won't cut off and the air conditioner is cool but not cold

If the compressor indicator light on your portable air conditioner won't turn off and the cooling performance has decreased, there may be a few potential causes for this issue:
1. Dirty air filters: Check the air filters of your portable air conditioner and ensure they are clean. Dirty filters can restrict airflow and reduce the cooling efficiency of the unit. If the filters are dirty, clean or replace them according to the manufacturer's instructions.
2. Blocked air vents: Verify that the air vents on the portable air conditioner are not obstructed by any objects or debris. Clear away any obstructions to allow proper airflow.
3. Insufficient cooling capacity: Consider the size and cooling capacity of your portable air conditioner compared to the room it is being used in. If the air conditioner is undersized for the room, it may struggle to cool it adequately, especially if the ambient temperature is high or the room has poor insulation.
4. Dual hose configuration: Although dual hoses are generally more efficient than single hose configurations, there could be issues with the hoses themselves. Ensure that both hoses are properly connected and not kinked or damaged. Check for any air leaks around the hose connections and use sealing tape if necessary.
5. Condenser coil cleanliness: The condenser coil of the air conditioner can accumulate dirt and debris over time, reducing its cooling capacity. Refer to the user manual for instructions on how to access and clean the condenser coil. Ensure that the unit is disconnected from the power source before attempting any maintenance.
6. Low refrigerant levels: If the air conditioner is low on refrigerant, it can affect its cooling performance. Low refrigerant levels typically indicate a leak, and it's recommended to contact a professional technician to diagnose and repair the issue.
7. Faulty compressor or sensors: If none of the above steps resolve the problem, there may be an issue with the compressor or the temperature sensors within the air conditioner. In such cases, it is advisable to contact the manufacturer's customer support or a qualified technician for further assistance and potential repairs.
Remember to consult the user manual specific to your portable air conditioner model for detailed troubleshooting steps and maintenance instructions.

Midea floor standing air conditioner displaying error code E6.Please what does it mean and possible solutions.

Google says:
E6 Room temperature or evaporator temperature sensor open or short circuit
The prescribed cure:
Check to make sure the room temperature sensor is connected and reads the correct resistance value. If the sensor operates correctly, replace the control board.

This unit most likely employs a NTC thermistor as a thermometer sensor. Common resistance values are 1k ohms and 10k ohms at room temperature. As the temperature goes up, the sensor decreases in resistance.

The sensing element could look like any of the above, but with portable comfort units, they usually look like the bottom row of encapsulated and cabled assemblies.

Why is my portable air conditioner blowing out room temperature air?

Make sure the filter(s) have been cleaned (Washed) and that the thermostat is set to the correct temperature. If the room temp is the same as the setting on the air con, it wont cool or heat. Just the fan will be operating.

My Ac do not cool enouhg, even it doesnt cool anything, i have my windows close and there is no equipment that produce heat!

Hi Cafe,
Ensure that the the discharge (hot air) is properly routed outside. Take temperature readings of the intake air (room air entering the unit) and the outtake air (cold air coming out of the unit). If the temperature difference is approx 18 to 22 degF, you might need more capacity. I believe your unit is 8,000 BTU. This is considered very small capacity. Not knowing what your situation is, it could be the right size. Below is a link to a site that will allow you to input information regarding the area you are trying to cool. It will calculate the BTU's needed to cool the area.

Let us know if this helps. Good Luck!

Error code A5 on Frigidaire 12,000 btu air conditioner

I have a Frigidaire model FAK104R1V window air conditioner that did the same AS error code. The problem is going to be one of the 2 temperature sensors in the unit. Mine happened to be the ambient temperature sensor located at the front of the unit. They are fairly easy to replace and you can buy a new sensor for about $15 online.
