Do you have a TV, or other heat producing item under, or close to, the thermostat? -- Bill In Hamptonburgh, NY To email, remove the double zeroes after @ |

If it's electronic, try removing the batteries for an hour, make sure the batteries are good, and then retry. Some also have a reset button accessible from the back, etc. |

Look behind the T-stat and see if there is a *larger than necessary" hole for the wire. Hot air in the wall cavity can adversely affect the T-stat. Patch the hole so just the wire extends out the wall. ...2 cents... You are so right. I have seen this for a number of years in the past. -- Moe Jones HVAC Service Technician Energy Equalizers Inc.

A/C problems
Does the room actually get colder? Does the room get too cold?
Do you have central AC built into a furnace, or is the entire AC in the window, or in a wall? -- Christopher A. Young You can't shout down a troll.

YOu took the words out of my mouth (or made duplicate words). Also, OP, do you mean that the room gets colder than you want it, than you feel you set it for? Can you turn the temperature setting up manually and shut the AC off? If the answer is yes to both then you may need a new thermostat. |

Bull****, there are many cases where the answers to both questions are "yes", but the thermostat would not be the cause of the constant running. |

Oh, I like the facts - it's just the profanity and anger that causes one to be skepical of the "facts." Still, today IS Sunday. I intend to say a prayer on your behalf.
