Dear Mike,

Yes, the temperature control knob turns like a rheostat.  Behind it
is a thermostat that has a sensing line running back to the
evaporator (in the ductwork behind your head).

If you find a way to keep the fittings tight on the compressor, let
me know.  Mine work have always found a way to work loose!

Sincerely,

John Hung
