Relax. Breath in and exhale slooowly. This is my third summer of cigar smoking and during each one my humidors have settled around eighty degrees, not a beetle in sight. Of course I don't recommend keeping a high temp if you can help it, I can't help it and for the time being neither can you. I can't promise your cigars will be fine, but I can say all of mine have survived, and I have more than a few cigars.

go to walmart or grocery store..u know those frozen plastic ice box's that you throw in coolers when camping...u can put one of those wrapped n paper towel to bring down temp...i do it to mine from time to time

Have you checked the air filter? If it's too clogged, it may overexert itself just to push air. If it's not that, there may be a mechanical failure somewhere. Last time the air conditioning shut down here was years ago. Turns out the generator thing (I dunno what it's called right now) broke down because it's too old. Cost my family 3000 to replace it.

Don't know what is wrong with your AC, but you can set a fan up blowing at your humidor, and keep the general area cool.

I have used a cooler with an ice pack or two inside and then placed my humidors in there. Haven't had to do it yet this year so far. My coolerdor doesn't have a problem.

We just had the same issue last week. Ours was the circuit board was fried. Hooked up a new one cooled fast after that.

As stated already, check the filter. Also, you may just have the temp set too low. A couple years ago I had mine set to like 50, and it stopped working. Air would come out, but it was warm. The repairman came to fix it and said I had it set too low. When it's 100+ outside and you set it that low it just can't do it, so he set it to a more reasonable temp and the thing fixed itself. I felt like an ass, but I had no clue about how they worked at that time. So maybe set it to like 70 or 75 and see if it rights itself. If you've already done that then I have no clue. Call a repairman.

Might just need freon. Go outside and check the copper lines to the compressor. If they are frozen, then you need to get re-charged.

thanks to all for the advice, apartment maintenance came today and fixed it.. apparently the people who put them in switched some capacitors and compressors with the apartment above mine, said they've never seen anything like it before, oh well hopefully now its fixed..

..that's the part that I thought was kind of funny. Have you ever heard the term "Save the women and children first ?.. " well , there are priorities in every situation.
