Why is the air from my Keystone Air Conditioner not cold enough?
- A
  atkinsdustinAug 14, 2025
  If the air from your Keystone Air Conditioner isn't cold enough, it could be because the room temperature is below 62°F (17°C). Cooling may not occur until the room temperature rises above this level. Also, check that the temperature sensor behind the air filter isn't touching the cold coil. Ensure that the unit is set to a lower temperature and wait for 3 minutes after setting it to the COOL mode.

  If your Keystone Air Conditioner is cooling, but the room remains too warm and no ice is forming on the cooling coil, consider the following: * Ensure the air filter is clean. * Set the temperature to a lower setting. * Make sure the air directional louvers are positioned properly for better air distribution. * Clear any obstructions blocking the front of the unit, such as drapes or furniture. * Close any open doors, windows, or registers to prevent cold air from escaping. * If the unit was recently turned on in a hot room, allow additional time for the unit to remove stored heat.

  Tracy GreenAug 25, 2025
  If your Keystone Air Conditioner is cooling but the room is too warm, and ice is forming on the cooling coil, it could be due to the outdoor temperature being below 64°F (18°C). To defrost the coil, set the unit to FAN ONLY mode. Also, the air filter may be dirty, so clean it. After defrosting, set the temperature to a higher setting.

  If your Keystone Air Conditioner is turning on and off rapidly, the issue could be a dirty air filter restricting airflow, so clean the air filter. Alternatively, if the outside temperature is extremely hot, set the fan speed to a higher setting.

Why is my Keystone Air Conditioner making noise when cooling?
- J
  James PollardAug 31, 2025
  Some air movement sound is normal during cooling operation. If the noise is too loud, try setting the fan to a slower speed. If you notice window vibration, it might indicate a poor installation. Refer to the installation instructions or check with the installer.
