I cant recall seeing a thermostat labeled Low and High. Usually those
are fan speed settings. Does the low and high knob you are turning have
some extra travel in between the low and high or does it just click
from low to high?

No sorry, it don't really say High and low, It is actually labeled 1-10.

Thanks, Tony


Ok that makes sense. If you gave the capacity in BTU/hr and the voltage it
might help. If you actually hear contacts clicking and not just some of
the mechanics inside the thermostat clicking there might be a stuck
relay. I've seen welded shut contactor points on residential compressors
so it's possible on a window unit if equipped with a contactor aka relay.
