The eco feature has me a little baffled. I have it set for 78. It does its job once then seems to go to sleep. When I enter the room next morning or even an hour or 2 later, the temp is 82 or 83. I have to wake it up to do its job. Why? null

I already know about sizing. Yes, I do. That is not the issue. It's not a "cycle" thing either. It sometimes shuts off. I guess I have to have this thing serviced and I have only had it for a month.

Hi Mau123, thanks for reaching out! When Eco Mode is on the fan will cycle on and off with the compressor. This may result in wider variations of room temperature and humidity. NOTE: the fan may continue to run for a short time or may pulse intermittently after the compressor cycles off to sample the room air. Sizing is incredibly important for air conditioners and dehumidifiers. If the unit is sized incorrectly, you may notice issues with cooling the room. There are articles on our website that deal with air conditioner sizing that you may want to take a look at to check on this. We hope that this helps! Stay safe. -Michael
