What about a bad thermostat? I did not hear that covered as a reason for short-cycling. Is it, or is it not?

[@homecapricehc]

You're right! A faulty thermostat can definitely cause short cycling, especially if it's not reading the temperature correctly. This usually happens because of a bad placement, but if the thermostat is faulty in general, it can also be a reason for short cycling.

Great video. Informative but not over the top. I learned a new word today too, leakages! Hahaha

Thank you!

How can u tell if thermosatat is faulty

[@homecapricehc]

You can tell if the thermostat is faulty by checking if it doesn't respond when you adjust the temperature, if the display is blank or unlit, or if the AC turns on and off too quickly (short cycling). Also, try replacing the batteries or resetting it to see if that fixes the issue.

Mine is short cycling every few seconds

[@homecapricehc]

Short cycling every few seconds usually means your AC is low on refrigerant or the thermostat is faulty. Check the thermostat first, and if that's not it, you probably need a professional to check the refrigerant levels.

It's so annoying as I can't access my own furnace. It's cycling on and off and I can't stop it with the thermostat and my landlord is away. My filter needs changing but in the meantime, on and off it goes, I guess forever. Such a dumb design fail.

[@homecapricehc]

That sounds super frustrating! If you can't get to the furnace, you might try turning off the AC breaker to stop the cycling for now. Hope your landlord can fix it soon!
