Cooling well it starts just fine cools for about two minutes then the compressor shuts off unexpectedly? i thought it might be the thermostat? i bypassed the thermostat completely but no luck? i can here the compressor come on when the unit is switched on and it does appear to cool down before the compressor shuts off and the fan keeps running.

The compressor is being prematurely turned off. That explains why the cooling stops after a few moments. Either the thermostat is responsible or the electronics working with the therm are responsible for the anomaly.

Freon level is fine because it does cool when compressor is running. U might also want to check the start/run capacitor. That sucker starts the motor and keeps it running after the start. If the run section goes bad the motor will usually stop after it starts.

---------This will help.Thanks.

If it has a starting capacitor, it may be defective. If not, a hard start capacitor kit may force it to start and run again. Also unplug fridge 20 minutes and let the motor cool down. They have high temperature shut off thermostats to help prevent other problems.

Replace the thermostat.

One amateur test is to place your hand on the compressor and see if it
is too hot to hold your hand on it. You may have a restricted condenser coil
If it is too hot then the condenser coil is restricted inside the unit
if not be sure and clean condenser coils with good coil cleaner.
You can put a fan on the compressor and see if it runs for another test to confirm it

bad compressor overheating

that's normal on auto cool, it should not be the case on cool only

compressor shuts down air is cool but unit does not stay long enough to cool lower the thermostat down little lower if the compressor starts up then bad thermostat

Without the model or make sound like a bad thermostat..check amps the the compressor and voltage... if the compressor is locking up or the thermostat cutting voltage to it..
Hope this helps

The Air conditioner are good only the adjustment of thermostat are the problem, select the thermostat in lower #3 you observe the thermostat will off in such time temperature reach to #3 If you full adjustment the compressor will not off.
In fan selector the compressor will autamatic off because no connection attached fan only .
