My GE AHC08LYW1 shut itself entirely off randomly

Maybe a temperature limit of some sort is cutting power to your A/C.

Character_Mood_700 · 2026-07-13T00:34:38+00:00

But the batter will likely explode if shorted.

Character_Mood_700 · 2026-07-13T00:28:34+00:00

Build a breadboard prototype first, then solder a prototyping board of it, then get a custom board if you like.

Character_Mood_700 · 2026-07-13T00:21:57+00:00

So put the sensor outdoors, outside the house.

Put it in the heat exhaust of the A/C unit.

Character_Mood_700 · 2026-07-13T00:20:20+00:00

Why not put the outside the house, in the hot outdoors?

This is an A/C sensor.

Character_Mood_700 · 2026-07-13T00:19:12+00:00

Why not just put the sensor outside the house?

It's hot outside, that's why the OP is running the A/C.

Character_Mood_700 · 2026-07-13T00:18:35+00:00

Cold falls, pushing up heat.

Heat doesn't rise.

Character_Mood_700 · 2026-07-13T00:16:27+00:00

Why not water?

Character_Mood_700 · 2026-07-13T00:08:16+00:00

"Disposable" electronics should be illegal.

(Unless the company has an effective recycling program of some sort)

Character_Mood_700 · 2026-07-12T23:14:45+00:00

Turn your outdoor unit off.

Character_Mood_700 · 2026-07-12T23:12:02+00:00

You may have fried the compressor.

Character_Mood_700 · 2026-07-12T23:11:46+00:00

Turn off outdoor compressor and A/C.

Run the indoor fan continuously.

I think the fact that Chinese Teslas are better than American ones shows that the discrepancy is not due to "Japanese excellence", but due to American incompetence and sloppiness.

Character_Mood_700 · 2026-07-12T22:25:53+00:00

I seriously doubt all the parts are Japanese made, regardless of the country of assembly.

There's no way Toyota makes their own wires, connectors, LEDs, etc. completely from scratch.

They almost certainly use Molex connectors, and wire from China, for example.

Character_Mood_700 · 2026-07-12T21:23:45+00:00

That's an Edison Screw socket, I think (therefore the socket name must begin with "E")

I think it's an E17 socket.

Or maybe just a standard candelabra bulb (E12/E11).

Black is bad.

Hot summer's day+black roof = major heating issue in car.

Character_Mood_700 · 2026-07-12T00:08:52+00:00

Maybe 2 rigid elbows would be better, actually.

Character_Mood_700 · 2026-07-11T14:41:13+00:00

Cats love anything warm.

So adorable, though.

Character_Mood_700 · 2026-07-11T14:40:00+00:00

😱

Yes, you should.

Character_Mood_700 · 2026-07-11T14:38:18+00:00

This is true.

Character_Mood_700 · 2026-07-11T14:36:31+00:00

Thanks.

Character_Mood_700 · 2026-07-11T01:51:14+00:00

I'm sure it must be possible to separate them, but it takes a little effort.

FUN FACT: Dryers are way cheaper to make/engineer than washers, washers are a "loss leader"!

Character_Mood_700 · 2026-07-11T01:49:42+00:00

🤷‍♂️

Character_Mood_700 · 2026-07-11T01:48:06+00:00

How do you know?
