Is the bedroom AC located in a confined space and air rapidly cools and kicks off the thermostat? Somehow recirculating cold air into the thermostat space? If so a remote thermostat could help. If not I'd suspect the thermostat being defective or the probe located improperly. The fact it only runs four times per hour could indicate that. Best to post the make/model and some of the forum experts on AC could chime in.
I had similar situation in my house where thermostat was much to close to forced air register. The air conditioning would cycle off much too soon-and the solution was relocating the thermostat.
Yeah...normally at night we'll close the sliding door to the bedroom and then it would certainly be more confined. This weekend I had the bedroom door open..and was hoping air would move to the main cabin. Maybe a small box fan on the steps leading into my bedroom would help. I'll get the make and model this evening and post. I'm not sure exactly what a properly placed probe would look like...but i'll read to see where it's supposed to be and will drop the inside cover and "inspect".
On the main unit, an inspection showed there was a taping issue between the plenum and the duct-work...so I sealed that up and greatly increased airflow to the vents.
