    • Appliantology Live Dojo, Saturday, 4/27/2024 @10 AM ET
      27 April 2024 02:00 PM Until 03:00 PM
      5  
      All Appliantology tech members are invited to join in this workshop on all things Appliantological. 
      We have a special session planned for this one. Instead of the usual Show 'n Tell on a technical topic, we're going to post tech sheets in the comments to this Calendar Event (scroll down to see what's posted so far) and ask specific questions that can only be answered by reading the tech sheet. If you at least try to answer the questions beforehand, you'll get a lot more out of it. The tech sheet and the questions are posted in the comments section below.
      Your mission, if you should choose to accept it, is to check out the questions for each one and try to answer them ahead of time. Then come to the Dojo to see how well you did! 
      Who: This workshop is only available to tech members at Appliantology.
      When: Saturday, April 27 @10:00 AM Eastern Time.
      Where: Online via Zoom
      How:
      Click here to go to the forum topic with the registration link. If you're interested, register now. Arrive a couple minutes early to make sure your connection is working. Set a reminder for yourself for this workshop so you don’t miss it.  And check out past workshops here: https://appliantology.org/announcement/33-webinar-recordings-index-page/

How to DISABLE thermostat?

I have a 10,000 BTU A6Q10F2A Model FEDDERS A/C.

 

The thermostat only goes to 10 degrees, even though my room is like 10'x8', I have alot of electronics which makes it hot as hell in here.  I'd like to get my room to like 15 or less cuz I HATE the heat and LOVE the cold.  I'd live in a fridge if I could! LOL.

 

Anyways....is there a way to keep the unit running full blast ALL THE TIME, rather than stopping when it gets to 19 degrees??

 

Any help would be appriciated.

 

THANKS!

Move the thermostat sensor out of the airflow, it will run longer because it won't see the cold air across it.

You can probably see it by taking out your filter.

Hmm...good idea, but when I remove filter all I see is a wall of folded metal in this pattern:

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

 

Only Vertical.

 

 

I reached down below and can't find anything like a sensor...:(

It may be hidden by the plastic front panel, you may have to take it loose. I could be a little black plastic thing about a 1/4 in diameter and maybe an inch long. If it's a few years old, it may be a thin metal tube.
