One thing you can check. Look behind the T-stat and see if there is a
*larger than necessary" hole for the wire. Hot air in the wall cavity
can adversely affect the T-stat. Patch the hole so just the wire
extends out the wall.

You are so right. I have seen this for a number of years in the past.

Were you trying to say that the THERMOMETER on the thermostat does not
indicate that the temperature at that location decreases, so the
thermostat keeps the AC running?

Did it ever work correctly? Can you turn the temperature setting up
manually and shut the AC off? If the answer is yes to both then you may
need a new thermostat.

YOu took the words out of my mouth (or made duplicate words).

Also, OP, do you mean that the room gets colder than you want it, than
you feel you set it for?
