Customer Questions and Answers for Thermostat by Whirlpool

Hello Asa. Sorry, the manufacturer does not offer any information on converting it to a wall thermostat.

Dwight, Yes the issue with the unit not shutting off automatically will either be caused by a faulty thermostat or coils that need to be cleaned.

Hi James. Are you getting proper 240 vac at the wall outlet ? Is the breaker tripped ? If you verify the voltage being correct keep the unit un plugged and pull off the 2 - wires on the thermostat and simply connect them together , momentarily bypassing the thermostat. Use electrical tape on the connection as you isolate it from shorting or not safe. Did the compressor start then ? Use a volt meter to see if the 120 vac is at the wires just jumped and feeding the compressor. If so then you need a new thermostat part # WP1160325. Test the heat circuit first to see if the heat strips work. If so then stop the unit with the selector switch and wait for the blower wheel to stop rotation before you switch into the A/C mode. Make sure the filter is clean so you will get proper performance. Thank You. ].

BillyBob, Provided the unit is installed properly, the filter is not restricted or dirty, and you did not have the unit in storage or sitting on it's side or back, Your problem would be in the temperature control. Thanks and Good Luck
