Kenmore Air Conditioner Question

Tell your wife to quit changing the thermostat.

Some window AC units have an "Energy Saver" feature which raises the thermostat 4 or 5 degrees after a few hours of run time.

RTFM and see if your's does this.

Could also be to prevent the coils from freezing up when the ambient is down low.

You bought a Sears. That's wrong.

She may just tell him to quit changing it.

One way or the other, problem solved.

heheh

Thanks Clark. Problem solved.

I don't even use the AC, and it's been up to 95 out, but this could be really annoying.

Is one able to turn this feature off, on the ac's that have it?

Hmmmm. Is the idea that the thermostat doesn't get exposed to the real room temp, and it has to have a lower temp for the first while because it's really hotter elsewhere in the room, but after a few hours it's actually the same temp everywhere??

If you don't use the AC how could it be annoying?

Don't know. It doesn't bother me.

The idea is that room airconditioners are typically used in bedrooms and at night. After a couple hours of sleep then one won't notice if the temperature is increased a bit. Obviously not everyone has the same tolerances so some people will notice.

If I were ill and had to use it, or if I cracked.

I see. That makes sense.

A couple degrees ok, but I think 4 or five degrees would be too much for me.

Yes. Settings are : COOL or ENERGY SAVER (No, I'm not shouting.)
