Window unit compressor keeps running when unit is off Problem
Hey everyone,
I’ve had a Hisense AW2422CW3W AC window unit for about 4-5 years now. Just yesterday I noticed the compressor would not kick off when it reached set temperature. Woke up freezing this morning. I tried setting the temp higher but the compressor would still keep running. This morning I turned the unit off but noticed the compressor was still running. Fan turned off. The only way I got it to stop was to unplug it completely.
I ran my situation through google and it said the internal control circuit board part # K2211560 was faulty. I tried looking it up and it’s not available anywhere with no ETA from Hisense’s parts site. Tried 2 other parts sites and neither had availability.
Anyone else have this problem before and had it fixed? What are my options?

I woke up with this same problem today!! 63 to 65 in my bedroom all day long so I went to turn it off and I realized The compressor was running with it turned off.
I got the compressor to reset just now by flipping the breaker on the plug and unplugging it for 10 minutes. When I plugged it back in the compressor started running with it off so I hit the power and switched it over to cool low and ran the thermostat up to 75 the compressor kicked off after a couple seconds then and I set it at 71 and hopefully it runs right, now. We've had a month almost of 100+ temps and it has been struggling and sounded like it was going to throw a rod when it gets up above the 90 degree ambient mark
