    Central air condenser not shutting off
    Our ouside central air unit continues to run. The inside unit (blower) shuts down. The blower will shut down for a minute or 2 & then come back on. The themostat never seems to go below 80. It does blow cool air.

    A few weeks ago a new motor was installed in the outside unit. It started then. My husband & I thought it may be the t-stat so he changed that and that doesn't seem to help

    Help me please so I know what I'm talking about when the repair man comes again.

    Sounds like the blower motor is failing and allowing the indoor coil to frost over enough to give a no cooling situation,
    This means the thermostat is never satisfied , thus it runs contiously

    Without actually being there , this is all the advice or info I feel safe giving.
