AC

My AC has ran nonstop the last few days. Understandable with the heat. But today, it's not neat as hot and even when the room reaches the set temp it never cycles off. What is the problem? It's a unit that is 3 years old, filters have all been changed and new batteries in thermostat.

Could be the thermostat, could just be that it's so humid....could be not enough clearance around the outside unit...could be low on freon....could be a bad capacitor. Could be a lot of things...

What’s it set at?

Mine does that but usually only if its 100+

Is it chilling down to your set temp?

not as hot but still pretty dang hot

Idk sheet about ac's Just had mine serviced.Yesterday was brutal goodluck.

Yes

Then rock on.

urinate on it.

It should shut off when it hits that temp.

Mine is cycling at 78.

Its trying to maintain.

do you have a dehumidifier in it?

I don't know much about ACs, but I would try what I try on most other things electric.
Shut off the power (breaker) for 5-10 minutes and see if something resets. Might be worth a shot.

If it's set on 74 and showing its 74 put it on 75 and see if it shuts off

Where is Steve Holmes when you need him?

Did y’all turn it off when you went north? Any chance the fan is set to On instead of Auto?

Great point

First thing I checked.

Hose down the condenser coils with a mist spray. Will help with head pressure and assist in cooling down in the evenings.
Clean the A coil fins on your inside unit. Might have a dust hair blanket coating it and restricting air flow.

Will it go off it you turn the t-stat to Off?

Doesnt matter what I set it to, low or high temp.

sounds like the thermostat...or the fan switch. Is the outside unit not shutting off? Or is it the inside unit that's not shutting off?

Coach....just answer the question, I don’t even care if it general, but most people keep their temp at a certain point.
Is yours 78? Or 62? This plays a factor

79

Ok, but can you read?

Oh my

Feel for the airflow coming out of the vent. If its not blowing very hard turn the AC off and set it to fan ON. Unit could be freezing up. A lot of older units right now are running all day. Mine is.
