I am not sure what kind of thermostat you have but one of the parts reads the room temperature and one part is where you are setting the temperature.
If it is a round thermostat which is what it sounds like the needle that reads the temperature is basically a cheap thermometer that looses calibration. Purchase a thermometer and mount beside your thermostat and see what the temperature reads.
Some of those thermometers on the thermostat can be calibrated while others can not.
mail me if you have any ?????

It could be that your thermostat is going out and maybe needs to be replaced. One easy way to check it is to run the unit with the door off. If the unit clicks on with the door off, it is more likely that the thermostat is indeed in need of service. It could also be the type of filter you use for the unit. Make sure that it's the right size for the specific unit.

Our central heating unit was on the fritz just a few weeks ago, l was so scared it was going to cost a lot of money to fix, it turned out to be a VERY dirty filter, all it cost to fix was a few bucks, hope yours is the same !! Ours came on and then went off after a few minutes, it seemed like it was over heating, the unit outside was very hot to touch, the repair man told me to clean the filter/replace it every few months, l will be doing that from now onwards. good luck !!

Ther'es not enough information to answer your question.
Check the filter indoors and check to see if the condenser coil (outside) is dirty.
Short of that I need a lot more info. Is the inside fan running, is the outside fan running, is the compressor running, what do the lines feel like at the outside unit, etc.

good day yeah you may desire to bleed the radiators. if a number of them experience warm on the backside yet cool on the real it skill there is air in them. this occurs to maximum systems over the years and is a recurring element. do not hassle phoning a guy in that'll fee you 50 quid for a 10 minute interest. see on the radiator you might have a valve on the real on the part...stick a flat head in it and confirm you have a jug below to catch any water. you will hear a hiss while the air comes out shop it going *it will stink in all probability( till water comes out, in all probability black water. then tighten it up and do an identical to all radiators. sturdy success :o)

Have you changed the battery in the thermostat? Some have them, some do not. If it takes batteries, try a new one. If a new filter and new battery doesn't improve the performance of your air conditioner, schedule a maintenance with a reliable company.

Don't mess with a faulty central air system problem yourself. Call in a professional. There are many issues that are causing your problem and you can't possibly figure them out yourself.
