  If your EdgeStar Air Conditioner isn't cooling, consider these possibilities: * Ensure the unit is set to cooling mode and that the set temperature is lowered. * The compressor may take up to 3 minutes to turn on, possibly longer if it's too warm. * The ambient temperature might be too high; try to lower the room temperature below 90°F. * Check if the filter is dusty or blocked and clean it if necessary. * Make sure there are no obstructions in the exhaust hose and port.
