          UPDATE,   ISSUE "WENT AWAY":   
      
        My Wife plugged in the air conditioner and turned it on.  Later,   
   she turned if off, but this time,  it turned off COMPLETELY !!   
   The power cord was NOT unplugged.   
      
        After about 15 minutes,  I decided to try it out.   Air ran for a half   
   hour.  When I turned it off,  it turned off completely.   
      
        Power cord does NOT have to be unplugged anymore.   
      
                     John
