Mid-2000s Frigidaire 5000 btu Window AC - Timers frickn NOT WORKING!
I own two of these, one is 5000 and the other a 10,000 btu, both of this style, electronic, with remotes:

I turn them on, press 'Timer' button either on unit or on remote, select how many hours I want it to run before shutting down, I.E.: 1.5hours.
3-4 hour later, the DAMN THING is still blasting away, and the timer indicator light on the AC's touch panel is not lit!
This has been happening more often in the last couple seasons than when they were new.
What's going on here? Other than this timer issue, they are reliable and tough, and cool the rooms as intended.
