The air coming out is not cold, despite being in 'cool' mode and the temp. being set to 65. Is there a period of delay before it activates?

There isn't much of a delay ....seconds...unless you had been cooling then stopped and started again...most A/Cs will delay a minute of two between cooling cycles. The control panel on mine has a LED in lower left corner screened as "COMP" ...that LED is ON if the unit thinks the compressor is running meaning it's trying to cool. Would need to read the book to determine what else might prevent the unit from cooling...there could be a good simple reason.

That has been my experience, especially if the air temperature is very high.

It takes it a little while to cool the room down but once it gets going its nice and cold. Be sure to clean the filters regularly, that can cut off air flow and keep the unit from cooling properly. The temperature gauge bothered me at first too because once you set it, the display stays on the actual temp in the room. It took about 2 weeks for me to love the thing. I hope this helps.

does this plug in regular U.S. household plug or does it need 240V? Please advise.

I set up my AC, tried your situation and have the same results, I think it is working fine. I would suggest that you wait for the cooling temp get to the point that the compressor turns off and see if the fan cycles like it should. Good luck.

I have mine right at above the output on the trunk, it turns on and off with the furnace just perfectly. Been using it consistently in WNY with FRIGID temps regularly. I'd question perhaps your unit is faulty? If you blow gently on the orifice (straw) size opening you should feel/hear the bladder inside move to engage the switch. If it's stuck, then it would stay on after the furnace shuts off. Mark's idea of sealing could also be an issue. I'm using it with the 530 CFM inline Tjernlund 6 inch inline booster. Hope you resolve.

This is difficult to answer. First, is this a new unit that has just been put in service? If so, during the setup procedure did you remove the upper housing and insure the filters were not wrapped with a protective cover? Is, then I suggest that you select each of the 3 different fan speeds and see if the air flow changes. If not it may be a defective control unit. In any case, if you can not determine what may cause the problem and this is a new unit I would call the manufacture and explain the problem to them.

As soon as I turned it on, it only blew cold air. Holding in the cold air button it just stayed cold. It never blew warm air

I have the unit in my basement and wasnt watching it consistently after starting it up, but it cooled down down from the mid to high sixties at the start to the low to mid fifties (desired settings) within 2-3 hours. It has consistently remained at 53/54 degrees for the two zones respectively for the past few months. I'm very satisfied this far. Hope that helps.

Hello,Yes, sometimes it is the case and I know it is normal. But not when you transfer the unit from room to room or turn it on in the morning and it just won't turn on. Last time it took more than 20 min for the unit to come on and it was freezing! Something is definitely not right with the thermostat here.

I have used it only once and I had the same problem. I think you have to lock the temperature and I guess I did not do it. Try locking the temperature

If the setting dials are working? The air humidity should trigger your fan....if not you may seek a replacement unit....Thank you..11/23/2013

I did not have any issues with the ac, the only diff is now I don't have the max button. But my ac is still pretty cold without it.

The colder it is the longer it will take to set up. It is suggested to apply in at least 65 degrees

Bought one some time ago, what I found out is the air flow is low volume. Hold your hand over the top and you will feel a slight air flow.I installed a small computer system (thermal logger) and download the data every 6 months to check on the temperature and humidity. My readings are consistant year round. hope this helps

Possibly. The temp controller could be bad and not allowing you to reduce the heat. It is also possible that you are out of refrigerant in your AC system which will eliminate cold air. If the ambient temp allows can you get cooler air by adjusting the temp with the AC off? Also the air divert doors might be stuck in the hot position.

Hi,If you change the mode to fan or dehumidify the current temp will display. Otherwise the temp shows the desired temp, rather than current temp.

Not sure. Are there any obstructions to the outside venting? The cooling (compressor) will cycle on and off, but it shouldn't be doing that in short bursts.

That sucks. When mine is on it's set to Cool/Low/62/No Ion. It still doesn't actually cool particularly well (as my review says), but it does stay on indefinitely. You could try "power cycling" it. Unplug for 10 minutes or so (to make certain the compressor is reset) then try again. Works for routers, lol. Also consider maybe its an electrical issue. Try plugging in to a different circuit or something? Or is something bouncing air back into it that could be causing it to get wrong air temps? I'm just throwing out ideas here. :)

The fan only runs when the system is actively cooling to whatever temperature it is programmed to achieve. Once it hits the programmed temp, the fan kicks off, until the temp hits the upper limits of the parameter programmed. It should go off and on, as needed.
