Not heating all levels of house

With a two story house you have to be aware that cold air flows downwards so any cold air coming from an ac unit will flow downstairs( normally down the stairway) so unless you can close off the down stairs then the up stairs unit will be cooling downstairs as well. Ac units have a thermostat located in the air intake and it cools until the cold air has risen to that point. In effect the space above the ac unit will be hotter than the floor. Knowing how they work ,you can see that the upstairs unit will never reach the set temperature because the cold air is continually heating from the house and will never get to the top thermostat.
So your solutions are
1-- fit controls that restrict the cold air from leaving the upper floor (Doors)
2--don't run the upper ac unit unless you are living up there (waste of money
)3 place an ac in each upper room and keep the room door closed

You should have a trained a/c tech take a look at and adjust the bypass in the attic, it's letting too much air return back to unit not to zone.

take shelves off. temp display unit in middle of shelf is where circuit board is for testing. pull middle unit forward and unscrew back panel. check lines for leak. color should look like a teal green. thats where your leak will be. Need tech. for the rest.......good luck!!!!

JUST A REFERENCE; Unit designed to heat 900 sqft. 300 sqft per thermostat. When heat comes on and only 1 zone is calling the unit doesn't heat 1/3. It heats the 900sqft it's designed to. Therefore that "extra heat" HAS TO go somewhere. If it doesnt go to the "non calling" zones the unit would shut down on safety because it would get too hot. So, open a window or you need a bypass damper with bypass duct installed that when the heat comes on for only one zone that "bypass" opens and sends the "extra heat" back into the return rather than to the "non calling" zones. To answer your question, nothing is wrong with your unit or tstats, it's the duct work. Maybe $600 to $800

You may of put thermostat in in wrong direction, The copper and spring side should be inside of motor.

Everyone jumps to the thermostat because its a good place to start. If, when the engine is truly at op temp, the upper and lower radiator hoses are both hot, its not the thermostat. If you have the temp control to hot and both heater core hoses are hot, its not the valve or control. Check the blend door actuator (behind the glove box), and then the blend door itself as it may be broken (its plastic) and not closing off the cold air.

Hi, Make sure the jets in the spray arm ore not plugged at all. Check the black bellows on top the lower spray arm and see if it has a split in it. Let me know if these help or if I can assist you further.

if you smelled rad fluid then chances are you have a leak, you didnt say if you had to top it up at all, low fluid level will cause loss of heat, and the overheat prob sounds like thermastat replacement time, i would start with the thermastat

We should address the heat problem first. If your dryer complaint is "heat seems low" or taking "too long to heat", this is commonly confused for other problems. When in fact, you may really have a "ventillation problem". Do you feel (with hand) alot of hot air pressure coming out the back of the dryer or house vent-line (for dryer)?

I would disconnect and clean the dryer exhaust vent/duct (at wall and machine). Then, while leaving the vent-line disconnected temporaily, test and run your dryer. You may see an signficant improvement.

Does it heat up better?
Do you feel alot of hot air and pressure coming out the back of the dryer?
When connected; do you feel alot of hot air pressure coming out of your house dryer vent?
