A/C blower cycles on and off?
Hello,
I have a Rheem central A/C that cycles on and off too often. I can hear the compressor run, shut off, and immediately crank up again. Then it shuts off and on again, etc, etc. I am worried about too many restarts being bad for the motors. I connected a digital thermostat some years ago and that is the only change from the original instalation. Thanks for the help. |

You need to have it looked at. Usually what happens here is that the AC system is going off on low pressure. Initially the problem is cyclic like you describe and then it won't come on. The best you can probably do is check the airflow around the unit outside and to some extent, the unit inside. e.g. make sure motors are running and the filters are clean |

KISS,
Airflow seems fine. I forgot to include in my first post that the system was looked at about a year ago when the fan motor was replaced. I had them clean the coils and do a PM on the system. They had to add gas after taking it all apart. I will call and have someone check the unit out. Thanks for the help. |

Hi, I have a 1996 York Diamond 80 furnace.

When the outside temp closes in on the thermostat set temp ( at night ) the ac will cycle on but the blower will try to start then turn off. It cycles like this for a number of times before finally overcoming the issue and then it will run normally. If during this cycling I move the thermostat to...
The heatpump works but the blower has problems. When the fan is put to "On", or when the system is initiated by the thermostat, the blower sometimes will try to start, but cycles on/off. I can hear the relay clicking. When the system does operate correctly the problem will eventually re-occur....
Have Goodman Furnace built 1994. Worked fine until about 3 weeks ago. It starts cycling, and the heat icon does not show on the thermostat. I turn the thermostat off, the furnace continues to blow. Last night to verify, took the thermostat off the wall (but still had the furnace plugged in and...
