Night Shift

Night Shift

Since I am awake at 4am I thought I'd start this thread for those of us who have trouble sleeping and might find it helpful to have a place to go to chat. Whatever gets you through the night is alright.

To get the ball rolling, I'll just say that I enjoyed being part of the Topic Tuesday discussion tonight. I wish it was possible for these events to be weekly rather than monthly. Either way, thanks SANE and all the people I've met on here over recent months.

Edited June 2016 and February 2017: Night Shift is now open 24 hours a day. To join in, just click through to the last page of the thread at the top right of this post to get to the latest message.

Edited April 2017 and June 2017: For the sake of better communications between members here, I am adding that this thread is meant to be a caring, kind and gentle place of sharing. Humour is welcome, as long as its not unkindly directed towards other members. Hope your time in this chat thread is rewarding.

Re: Night Shift

yeh it fixes itself, i think something gets confused if you have it running then switch it off then come back and switch it on again.

Re: Night Shift

yeah , I have a very limited knowledge of how they work. just think I know a few tricks from using thrashed out ones in motels and mine camps, but thats no major fixes, like washing filters or not setting too low or if owner services them more than once every 10 years helps lol @plasmo

Re: Night Shift

all I can think of is its too much for it trying to work flat out like that when room already hot.

What have seen in 'tradie' posts on fb is #1 cheapest option w a/c is to replace. fair enough get diagnosed incase something simple but if compressor etc may as well throw it away , apparently worth a bit for scrap now @plasmo
