Okay, I'm about to smash this thing up. I fell asleep with the AC turned off earlier and now I wake up and its 77 degrees in here and I'm sweating. So I go turn the AC unit back on, setting it on 75 degrees to start with because I know you aren't supposed to do more than 2 degrees at a time. Instead of turning ON, I hear it click but the number "75" just starts blinking and the unit isn't coming on. If I turn the unit "off" I can hear it click again, but it will not come on to "stg 1"... so what does the blinking temperature setting mean? *glares at unit*

I don't know the specific model of our unit but I do know it was replaced about 2 years ago when our old one broke so its pretty new.

Its possible that it didn't come on right away due to compressor protection. If the a/c had just turned off when you changed the temp it won't allow it to come back on for another 5 min or so.

And, almost all digital stats have a built-in delay. Some as much as 2 minutes...
