I have a Hampton Bay air conditioner model # HBLG 1800H. The unit is about 4 years old now. Here lately when I turn the unit on low cool it starts cooling the room and then the compressor shuts off which I would think is normal since it probably met the cooling need but then the compressor never comes back on. I usually shut the unit off and wait about 30 - 45 minutes and turn the unit back on. It does the same thing again. Usually after about the second or third time the unit will run normal then. By this I mean it will cool until the set temperture is met then cycle off and after awhile will cycle back on to cool the room again. Is there something I can check to possibly solve this problem.

Sounds like a bad thermal overload which opens when the compresssor gets too hot. After the compressor cools down it closes and does not re-open unyil the compressor gets hot again. Check your wiring diagram if you have one and look for a symbol like two question marks on top of one another or the letters O/L. That seems to be what is occurring here.

What does the "dry mode" mean in a Hampton Bay air
The "dry mode" dehumidifies the air. This is useful when you do not need to cool the air but the relative humidity is higher than you want to have inside. You get the advantage of bringing in the fresh air without increasing the indoor humidity.

I hope this helps.
