Hello,

We recently bought a Kenmore 10,000 BTU single-room unit with digital
temperature settings. Before I go to bed, I set the temp at 66
degrees. Before too long, I wake up to find the compressor is not
running because the temp on the air conditioner has increased to 70.
Is this a common problem with Kenmore, or am I doing something wrong??

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Phillip

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.

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?

2 degrees might be ok, but 4 or 5 spans the range from too cold to too
hot. Like 66 which I wouldn't want, to 71, which might be too hot, I
don't remember.

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?

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

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

I see. That makes sense.

temperature is increased a bit. Obviously not everyone has the same
tolerances so some people will notice.

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.)

Mine is 5+ years. Works well and has performed flawlessly for 4 years past
