Hi,
Has anyone ever experienced this? Cabin temperature became uncontrollable with no messages presented on the EICAS. Everything was operating normally (set temp on ECS page showed 18°C but actual temp began rising all the way from about 23c to 34c. We tried switching the temp controller to "overhead" instead of Flight attendants with no result.
The temperature on the cockpit was operating normally and responding to our demands.
It was kind of a shocking experience to learn that there is no written procedure to handle this kind of situation. Captain was not very open to troubleshoot (I'd have descended to say fl250 and cancelled pack 2 right away)
We set the cockpit temp controller to the minimum in order to try to reduce the pax cabin temperature with no result. During descent as situation became increasingly preoccupying we tried cancelling pack 2 and engine bleed 2. We might have not given it enough time but temp stayed way higher than what it should have been.
Almost as soon as the problem began we also canceled the recirculation fans because we figured not having the hot air being blown forced lyrics would be a little bit better.
Any thoughts on this? We will be following up on this issue with maintenance.
