Cycles on and off

Possibly an faulty thermostat in the system or a blocked TX valve. have an accredited ac specialist shop test the operating pressures of the system

Low freon will cause the compressor to short cycle, when the compressor runs the pressure in the low line is pulled down and the low pressure switch turns it off. Not running the pressure builds up and turns it back on. In the old days there was no low pressure switch, with no freon to carry the oil the compressor was destroyed.

probably wants re-filling.

check high pressure with a proper machine and see how many bar you have ,think compressor may be on the way out .

how quickly does the compressor cycle on and off? also, the condenser should be hot, not cold. it is similar to a radiator, its job is to take the heat off the refrigerant to cool it down. if the comp. cycling quickly, its usually just a low charge on refrigerant. have it recharged.

are you sure the compressor is operating,can you hear it cycling over the noise of the fan???if its not its probably got one of 2 things wrong,rapid cycling or no comp operation: low refrigerant, no start condition: capacitor or contactor

Could be low on freon. Or the cycling switch is bad. Hope this helps.

No inline filter, you may need to recharge this system if the compressor is cycling on and off with no cold air. check the lines for leaks. check the clutch on the compressor as well for its operational value. it should engage with a click during the cycle.

check to see if the compressor is running in a cycle. if the compressor is not cycling, you will need to replace the compressor and fan.

if the compressor is humming, it because of a faulty motor and relay(start device). replace the compressor unit in this case.

HI,

if the compressor is running your ref. should be getting cold. Their is a defrost timer but when it is in defrost the compressor shuts off. I think you do have a leak.

any further question let me know.

thanks,
