STEP 4 Find and free your A/C’s Temperature Sensor. It’s the only thing attached to the front fins/grill of your air
conditioner.
On Mini Split air conditioning units this sensor is often not in front of the fins of the indoor unit. It may be
tucked into a plastic cover underneath or to the side of the unit. For pictures and examples of Mini Split
installations please visit our library section at: www.storeitcold.com/support-library
If your A/C has a clip built into the sensor to hold the sensor in the fins, remove the sensor from the clip
and free it enough to reach the side of the A/C - DO NOT use the plastic mounting clip for this installation!
STEP 5 Using ONLY a 2” square piece of regular Aluminum
foil, place the CoolBot Heater Cable (red tip) next to
the A/C’s Temperature Sensor (from STEP 4).
Keep together next to each other, pointing in the
same direction, and wrap them tightly with the foil
into a bundle.
Make sure the bundle does NOT hang in front of the
A/C fins or hangs directly in front of the air flow of the
air conditioner – It should hang free, to the side or
below the A/C not touching anything cold or metal.
You can put a wire tie or zip tie around the 2 cables (1
inch before the foil bundle) to keep the cables from
getting pulled apart.
STEP 6
IMPORTANT!
If your A/C has a Secondary Sensor, IT MUST BE UNPLUGGED.
➢ Window LG (except dual Inverter models) and HAIER units DO NOT have Secondary Sensors (skip to STEP 7).
➢ Most GE, Danby, Frigidaire, Arctic King, etc. A/C units over 10K BTUs have a Secondary Sensor.
➢ Most “Mini-Split” air conditioners have Secondary Sensors. See Mini Split Installation Guide
Use just 1 layer of electrical tape to attach the end of the Secondary Sensor to the OUTSIDE of the aluminum foil
connection from STEP 5. See picture below.
