The other night, I noticed the rear air was short cycling, running for about 2 min then off for maybe 5. I was ready to reset the thermostat when the DW said, "let's clean the sensor with the vac". I did with a brush attachment and as much a I hate to admit it, the unit it cycling correctly now. Just a heads up.
