A thermostat is a device that regulates the room’s temperature by controlling the air conditioner's operation. Its main task is maintaining the set temperature and switching the air conditioner between cooling and heating modes when necessary. Thermostats are usually installed on the walls of rooms and have temperature indicators, adjustment buttons, and other functions, depending on the model.
One of the main functions of the AC thermostat is the ability to set the desired temperature. When the temperature in the room reaches the preset value, the thermostat sends a signal to the air conditioner that it is necessary to maintain the current level of cooling. As soon as the temperature rises or falls beyond the set values, the thermostat is activated again to correct the air conditioner's operation. However, it won’t do it in case of failure.
If the thermostat shows incorrect temperatures or is slow to respond to changes, this may indicate a problem with the thermostat. For example, if you set the temperature but the thermostat continues to display a higher or lower temperature, it may need replacing or adjusting.
