Stops cooling when it's needed most
By Christian M. Mericle
I've owned this unit for less than 8 months, including the winter. It was installed in late fall and seemed to work well. Now that hot summer temperatures have arrived, it has stopped functioning properly. It comes on, runs, and cools quite well in the morning. However, in the afternoon when outside air temperatures often surpass 100°, it stops cooling. With the thermostat set as low as 60°, it will turn off the compressor even though room temperature is 75°, 80°, or even 85°. The filter and coils are clean, the air intake/output unobstructed, the fan set to Hi, the mode set to Cool, and there is no ice buildup, yet the air is not being cooled 80% of the time. I've contacted Frigidaire and will update this review after they reply. In winter, it worked well as a supplementary heater.

UPDATE: I finally received a response from Frigidaire. I had to tweet my problem to their attention because they never replied to my contact via their website. Here's what the representative said:

"On behalf of Frigidaire, I welcome the opportunity to assist you in resolving your concern.

"As both a representative and a consumer, I certainly appreciate and understand your frustration. While we expect that our products will meet and even exceed our consumer expectations, the experience that you encountered is unacceptable and not typical of the quality products that we produce day in and day out. Because we stand behind our products, services and valued consumers like you, we use interactions such as these as a way to enhance our quality and overall operations.

"At this time and based on what you have described it is best that an Authorized Service Professional diagnose the issue for you. Below I have provided a link that will assist you in locating local technical assistance.

Hot and Cold
By Kenneth N Corcoran
This unit installed easily and works very well. Carton arrived a little damaged, but the unit seems to be fine. Although it is considered to be a secondary heat source, it heats my insulated barn (340 sq ft) just fine, on its own with temperatures dipping into the 20's currently.

By Mertie Lloyd
I chose this rating as I haven't had much chance to use
heat. AC seems to be doing fine. Only problem it runs about
10 seconds cutsoff and then runs regular time. Is it suppose
to do this?
