We purchased a Danby 12,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner and are having issues with it shutting off before it reaches the desired room temperature. We have 12 inches of clearance on the front and sides, and 20 inches of clearance on the back (which is what the manual advices), and we vacuum the filters once a week. We set the temperature to 17 degrees and use the "follow me" feature, removing the remote away from the direct flow of air from the unit in order to get a more realistic temperature for the room (which is 138 square feet).
We have been finding that the air conditioner will shut off before it reaches 17 degrees, and then turns on again shortly after, which is very disruptive of sleep. Is there anything else we can do to avoid the unit shutting off before achieving the desired temperature? Or is there something malfunctioning with the unit?
