IF YOU WANT IT TO SHUT OFF LIOKE A AC AT HOME. WITHT THE FAN IN AUTO  ( AU) MODE, THE UNIT WILL SUT OFF AT THE TEMP YOU HAVE IT SET AT. IF YOU GO TO FAN MODE, AND TURN THE FAN TO L0W OR HI. WHAT WILL HAPPEN, IS WHEN IT REACHED THE TEMP YOU SET. THE COMPRESSOR WILL TURN OFF, BUT THE FAN WILL STAY ON. TE COMPRESSOR WILL GO ON AND OFF AS IT NEEDS TO:)

Thanks.   Yeah after looking at it I figured the fan should stay on in lo and hi mode.   Auto it kicks off when it reaches the set temp.   I've tried all three modes.   I've checked the wires at the thermostat and can't find anything loose.

I checked my filters and found they were quite dirty.   I clean them after every trip but apparently forgot last time.   Can a dirty filter cause the ac to short cycle and cut off?   After cleaning them it seems to be working ok now, but I haven't run it enough since cleaning to see if it truly is fixed.

Ok, for the digital thermostats, Lo, Hi, = On, as compared to mine. Your fan should run continuously in this mode, with only the compressor kicking in and out. Using the +/- button, in fan mode, try selecting hi, or auto (AU) and see how it runs.. it could just be a loose wire, at the thermostat, or a/c.

Went back and looked.   When in the fan mode it was set to low.   I'm pretty sure this is how it's been since we got the pod.

Well on the thermostat there are only three options. Fan, cool and furnace with an on off mode button.   I've been putting it on cool.   I don't see anywhere to change the fan mode!

Is your fan control set to "auto" or "on"?
