We got a new Coolbot working right after we received it.  But after sitting unused for a year while we finished the chiller insulation etc, it's not chilling, I plugged in the Coolbot last night and all seemed good. It was reading room temp and set temp. I let it run overnight set to 41 degrees.

This morning the temp was only what was set on the remote for the LG minisplit. 68 degrees.  I saw an "ER" on the Coolbot room temp sensor. I cleaned the tip. The room temp reading is now 1 which doesn't make sense. I tried rebooting the Coolbot power. Nothing changed.

All the plugs look very clean. It all used to work.

Coolbot has a bunch of fancy videos with music etc about troubleshooting but narrators are all ladies. I'm going deaf and can't understand them.  

I can't find any Coolbot forums on the web yet.

Youtube often has closed captioning.  I use it regularly.  If you don’t have any luck with the videos, try emailing Coolbot, they were very responsive in my experience.  Good luck, mine works like a charm!
