Hello,
I have a window A/C unit that I need to get the room to 60 degrees but the unit will only allow me to set it to 64. I am trying to control the temp by using an Inkbird temperature controller that turns the A/C unit off and on via the outlet based on the inkbird's sensor. In an effort to get this to work, I have tried relocation the A/C unit's thermistor and insulate it but the results are inconsistent.
Can anyone tell me if I can provide a set temperature reading on the sensor circuit be removing the thermistor and replacing it with a 9K ohm resistor so that it reads a constant 30C? I got that resistance number from an LG service manual but I'm not sure it is correct either. My main concern is if that sort of circuit will work as long as I get the resistance value correct, or do I need other components in the circuit.
The A/C unit is an LG 15k BTU LW1516ER.ASWAHDP.
