Thermostat not cooling? Firstly, check if it's set to 'Cool' mode. Ensure the temperature setting is below the current room temperature. Inspect the air filter; a dirty filter can block airflow. Verify the breaker has not tripped and the batteries are functioning. Lastly, check if the coolant levels are sufficient in your AC unit. If all else fails, it might be time to contact a professional for a detailed inspection and repair.
