  If your Keystone Air Conditioner is cooling, but the room is too warm and there's no ice forming on the cooling coil, check these potential issues: * Ensure the air filter is clean. * Verify the temperature isn't set too high—lower it. * Adjust the air directional louvers for better air distribution. * Remove any obstructions blocking the front of the unit. * Close any open doors, windows, or registers. * If the unit was recently turned on in a hot room, allow extra time for the unit to remove stored heat.

  If the air from your Keystone Air Conditioner doesn't feel cold enough, consider the following: * If the room temperature is below 62°F (17°C), cooling may not occur until the room temperature rises above this level. * Ensure the temperature sensing element behind the air filter isn't touching the cold coil. * Set the unit to a lower temperature. * If the compressor stopped when changing modes, wait 3 minutes after setting to the COOL mode.
