Short cycling ..
Hey there , i have 12000 btu I’ve took it apart today cleaned it , and found two sensors one goes for heat temperature that looks like connected to the coils another one ,where the cool air blows , so I’ve cleaned it , put it back . The issue I have . This ac stays on the balcony and it have 12 inch duct that Taped around and than goes to cooling other room. The problem is . When it’s inside of a sealed place it looks like it working so much better , but I can’t have it inside . Ac keeps turns on and off every damn 2-3 minutes .. so temps go 27-32 . When I’m using 60 degrees on low Cool mode .. any advice how to cool the 2x4 room ?could it might be bad thermostat ? And how find out which one is bad? Is I know i have them two .. being like on the war field today.. thanks in advance .. got used one like for 150.. now thinking if it’s be better idea to get another one window unit , I could see one for 50$ used one .. not sure how to use it though ..

So I’m wondering my ac unit has TWO thermostats . One near the heat , that plugs in to the coils .. and another one near cold .. which one you’ve been talking about to put it in the tent ? Exhaust one ?
