Question Where is the Thermosat/fan/mode switch.
IS it in the ceiling grill? or wall mounted.
Reason for asking.
Many Wall mount controlled units have a 'Frost Sensor" that is a thermal sensor stuck right into the evaporator coils. If it starts to ice up the compressor is shut down for a while.
Coleman "Local control" (Ceiling knobs) do not have this sensor.
How do I know this. ONe is just to my right as I type.. yes it will Ice up
The carrier controlled unit in the back (not a carrier A/C but Carrier controls) has a frost sensor so it should not ice.
