    Have you inspected it when this happens? Is it frosting over blocking the vents? Have you had it serviced lately?

    The heat pump does this in heating and cooling and once I turn it off for a half hour then back on it works fine for 8-10 hours. Could it be a compressor internal overload kicking in and out?
