My Hunter thermostat (Model 44110 ) sometimes does not lower the
temperature reading when the actual ambient temperature is already
lowered by the AC it controls. I put a Radio Shack digital thermometer
above the Hunter thermostat. For instance, the thermometer already
shows 82 F but the Hunter thermostat still shows 84, so the AC keeps
running. What's strange is that if I set desired temperature to higher
than the display temperature, to 85 for instance, the AC stops, and
surprisingly, the Hunter thermostat starts to drop its reading,
eventually to 82 (if the outside heat doesn't heat the house up that
quickly). Why does the thermostat stop lowering its reading unless the
AC is turned off (or the desired temperature is set higher)? It
happens quite often. The battery is not low. Thanks for help.

Hunter makes great ceiling fans, but their thermostats suck

One hung low;
The thermostat will read higher to allow a longer cycle period. It's
attempting to limit the cycle rate to under 6 cycles per hour. The reading
'high' is anticipation. All thermostats incorporate some form of
anticipation to limit the cycling during both the heating and cooling
cycles. Some display a 'higher' temperature than it really is. Some don't
but still incorporate the cycle limitation.
