Check the HEATER on the CoolBot (See MY HEATER DOES NOT SEEM TO
BE WORKING – Page 15).
Is your FINS Sensor positioned correctly? Make sure the CoolBot FINS Sensor
isn't touching a cooling pipe. If it is, you will get a false cold reading. Try pulling
it out completely and reinsert it so it is only ¼" in the fins.
After checking the above try lowering the Fins setting to 0 or even -1 (See
CHANGING SETTINGS ON THE COOLBOT- Fins Setting – Page 11). If you
try a negative Fins Setting, be sure to check frequently for frost. If frost occurs,
raise the fins back to a positive number setting.

MY COOLER WAS RUNNING FINE AND NOW IT WON'T GET COLD

Is the compressor running? Unplug the A/C unit and reset it following the
instructions in the owner's manual of your A/C unit.
Are the fins clean? See DIRTY FINS (Page 15).
Is your A/C in the "COOL" mode and the fan on "HIGH"?
Did you check your HEATER foil connection? See INSTALLING YOUR
COOLBOT-STEP 5 (Page 7).
Did something change from the original setup? Please see MY ROOM WON'T
GET COLD ENOUGH (Page 16).

MY ROOM IS GETTING COLDER THAN THE SET TEMPERATURE

Is your cooler empty? Adding mass to any cooling space helps hold
temperatures stable and reduces fluctuations.
NOTE: Florists - adding 5 gal buckets of water helps.
Is the HEATER foil connection over insulated? Make sure you use ONLY a
2x2 inch piece of aluminum foil as described in STEP 5 of INSTALLING
YOUR COOLBOT (Page 7). DO NOT use duct tape, insulating pipe tape or
other materials.
Is your A/C oversized? This can happen in small rooms with big A/Cs.
Turn A/C to "ENERGY SAVER" mode OR turn A/C fan to "LOW" and Heater
Delay to "d3+."
MY ROOM COOLS DOWN BUT THE TEMPERATURE WILL RAISE UP
CONSIDERABLY BEFORE IT COOLS AGAIN (TEMPERATURE SWINGS)
Do you have a Secondary Sensor? Please see STEP 6 of INSTALLING YOUR
COOLBOT (Page 8).
Is your cooler empty? Adding mass to any cooling space helps hold
temperatures stable and reduces fluctuations.
NOTE: Florists - adding 5 gallon buckets of water helps.
Is the HEATER foil connection in the air draft? Make sure they are away from
the fins and the airflow, not touching anything cold or metal. See STEP 5 -
INSTALLING YOUR COOLBOT (Page 7).
