I looked up the model number parts
Their does not appear to be a heating element associated with this ac nor a reversing valve so I don't think it has a heat feature. You could mount it backwards and heat an area. That would look weird.

Time for a new one.

This is a manual I found, but I am not quite sure about the manufacturer, since you did not mention it. It sounds like it may be low on refrigerant, if it is working but not cooling well. I could not find an error code in the manual. The answer would be to add refrigerant to the system. https://www.manualslib.com/products/Gree-Kfr-32gw-Naa12-E-3780653.html

Almost all Emerson product manuals are available on line in pdf format. It may take some time to locate them, but they are there....

Chesapeake, given your symptoms you'll be looking at installing a new Selector Switch. But, before you go there... UNPLUG THE UNIT OR SHUT OFF THE BREAKER!!! Your selector switch does two things at a time, It energizes the fan motor (which it IS doing) and energizes the compressor at the same time. The voltage to your compressor goes from the wall into the selector, out of the selector, through the temp control then to the compressor. When the temp control is satisfied, it interrupts power to the compressor. The click you hear is the temp control being NOT satisfied and trying to send power to the comp. But if there is "no power" to send (i.e., the selector switch has failed)the compressor won't know to engage. Remove the front panel and filter. Remove the control box housing. Remove the knobs from the controls. You will now see the selector switch. Remove the 2 screws that fasten it (don't remove the wire yet!) and install the new switch. Then, one wire at a time, remove the wires from the old switch and install them on the new one. ***If you have an OHM meter, check the temp control before ordering a selector because this may be the problem and NOT the selector! To do this... remove the 2 wires from the temp control, set the control to "coldest". Then with your meter, test OHM's between the terminals. If you see "zero" OHM's, it's good. If you see no change in your meter, it's bad and THIS is the source of your problem. If you don't have a meter... you can test using this procedure... cut a 6" length of wire and strip the ends to about 3/8", twist the copper ends tightly. Remove both wires from the temp control, then insert one end of your jumper wire into one terminal and the other end into the other terminal. Make sure the "jumpered" wires are away from anything metal!!! And plug the unit back in. Now turn the unit on. If the unit fires up? It's the temp control, If not? it's the selector switch. Here's a link for parts...http://www.repairclinic.com/0080.asp

First open the control panel and remove all wires of your fan motor from the control switch and the capacitor. Remove also the compressor wires. Unscrew all panels and move the evaporator farther from the mounting base Pull-out the fan motor assembly with the panels. Unscrew the blower, fan blade, and them from the assembly. Unscrew the motor and now it is free.

Without the Model Number, it's hard to know what knob fits your model. However, the link below, may provide some help. But, having the Model Number would be a bulls eye. Remove the front of the AC unit. There may be a manufacturer's data plate inside, which would provide the model number.

Hope this helps you.

If you need one quick I buy generic knobs from my local ACE hardware store they work fine and are cheap. good luck

mcdevito75 here, Either the fan motor or compressor, I'm leaning toward the compressor, Hve your local a/c repair shop look at it, they come to the house, if compressor, expensive repair maybe better to replace a/c altogether
