I have a swamp (evaporative) cooler and ducted heater which have both been connected to the same thermostat remote control, a Bonaire Comfort Control remote.

The remote control has now broken, and I would like to connect both units to a new thermostat.

The wires available to connect to a new thermostat are brown, red, orange and yellow.

I was interested in purchasing a basic Honeywell system, however the wiring diagrams make no allowance for a brown wire (see picture). The retailer does not believe joint wiring on the Honeywell is a possibility.

In fact, I havent found any thermostats that make allowances for brown wires, other than the original Comfort Control remote, which is no longer produced.

I dont know what the brown wire is for specifically.

Has anyone had this same issue before? How to resolve it?

Thank you.

I don't absolutely need a new filter, but prefer to have one spare to swap in when it needs cleaning. Thank you.

ETA: Midea models MAW08V1QWT and MAW12V1QWT both use this filter, according to the parts finder on Midea's site.

We have a floor standing unit Amcor 12000 BTU and after about a year of usage as aircon in summer occasionally and more often ad dehumidifier in winter it suddenly stopped blowong cold air.

They didn't accept it under warranty as apparently the “exhaust “ pipe wasnt lined up in less than 30 degrees to the unit which they said caused a compressor overheating. Unfortunately I wasnt aware of that and when they asked for a video and picture how the unit is positioned I didn't adjust it to meet the criteria so they have an evidence that it wasnt - my bad.

My question is, can this be fixed or I'm looking at purchasing new unit?

The unit cost was around 380GBP and they offered me a new unit deal for £250 plus this faulty one.

Many thanks for any help.

Hope these pics help. If I put the leads on right two contacts it could be open or closed. When I work the switch that should change to the opposite of what it was ??

It's a small Frigidaire Air Conditioner Model FAC055K7A4

I just bought a second hand window A/C unit. (Bad move, I know...) Its working well, but the plug is getting very hot. When I take it out of the socket, the prongs are hot enough to burn me. The strange thing is that the wire itself doesn't feel hot, only the plug. When I used an extension cord the whole extension cord heated up.

I tried 2 different sockets on 2 different circuits and got the same results. The A/C is 12 amp, on a 16 amp breaker.

Anyone have an idea what the problem could be, and can it be fixed?

Thanks very much!
