I noticed my condenser short cycling last night while I was putting out my debris fire. It was so cold, I had to break ice out of the hose to get water flow. I found your video last night and took notes this evening. This is a great resource and I now have a decent checklist to start troubleshooting in the next few days. For now, I'm burning fuel running our gas logs and keeping the downstairs unit turned down to avoid potential damage to the unit. For anyone who hasn't yet watched, be sure to catch his joke at the end.

Thank you! I went through the most things you described. Batteries, thermostat, loose wires, control board, tested a capacitor, was going to open the duct to check coils thinking it's either compressor, fan motor or leak. $$$$. Then I checked a contactor plunger and there was a fried bug or a cockaroach, preventing plunger from making a contact. I pulled it out, and my ac finally started working! I was going to sleep in my basement this night, the temperature went to almost 30 degrees. You saved me a few hundred bucks, thanks a lot!

I had a commercial tenant that had a short cycling issue, then a few days later , I noticed that it was running normally. But I knew she didn't call a tech to repair it because she is cheap as hell. I took the panel off the condensing unit and saw that some Einstein wedged the contact down . Problem solved until I took the wedge out. I told her " Your not going to burn my building down to stay cool." You never know. Greetings from NYC. Keep up the good work!!

Thanks for all of your information. Last week I had new service lines installed because I had a leak underground, men didn't put a filter drier because they didn't have one on the truck. Next day unit blowing hot air, a different service man came and found that the condenser seal was blown and lost all gas. 2 days later he came back with a new condenser and installed it and also a filter drier, unit seemed to be working fine. Next day unit was short cycling, I replaced the thermostat, still no good. A new A/C tech came out ( same company) as soon as I told him what was happening he said, "sounds like it's overcharged". He drained and weighed all freon and we found that, my unit called for 4 lbs 2 oz, he pumped out 7 lbs, 8 oz. He then pulled a vacuum and recharged system with proper amount of freon and unit still working fine, you can add that problem to your list. If you have any comments about what happened here, please let me know. Thanks again. What would cause the condenser seal to blow? That would be a good video. :-)

I'm about to start investigating using your videos, I suspect is the capacitor, as I everything was working just fine but the fan motor just stopped spinning. I gave it a small push with a screwdriver, it worked for 10 seconds and stopped and again the compressor noise. wish me luck!

Great video! An odd short-cycle phenomenon I recently experienced was caused by a bad ECM, that resulted in the blower coming off and on after a couple of seconds. The blower would run fine when the panel to the air handler was off. As soon as you put the panel back on, the blower would turn off and begin short-cycling. The tech and I were both stumped as there were no obvious shorts. The ECM was replaced about six months ago so we just assumed the ECM might have gone out of spec somehow but still appeared to work - the air pressure change that occurred when the panel was put back in place somehow affected the ECM. I replaced the weird ECM and the short-cycle went away.

Thanks for such a great library of helpful videos. Last Summer I detected a strange noise in my AC unit. I believe it was short cycling. I called a person to inspect the unit and as usual, the recommendation was to replace the unit without telling me what the problem was. I decided not to do anything until this coming Summer. Spring came with some hot days, and then I realized that the fan condenser motor was not working, so I replaced it using your very helpful video including the capacitor. Thanks, BTW because it is running very well. However, the short cycling came back to my memory and I have been trying to fix that unsuccessfully. Thermostats are working correctly. I can see the condensation in the AC unit pipe. I have checked the A-coil, it was clean, but I cleaned and verified any plugs. The air filter is brand new. I really don’t know where to find the solution. When I checked the delta Temperature, I found something unusual. Thermostat calls for cooling, and the AC unit starts cooling down until supply temperature reaches 37F, which is low. The return air is 60F, which means the delta temp is 23F. At that moment the board LED starts green flashing, which is an indication that the zone sensor exceeds the low limit in cooling. The AC unit is off while the blower keeps operating. DATS is working correctly. After 2.5 or 3 minutes the LED is solid again, then the AC unit starts cooling again. This cycle continues over and over. The board is receiving 24 Volts from the transformer. I have not idea what is causing that the temperature drops to 37 F, or if the board has a problem. Any recommendation or instruction that I am missing. Thanks a lot

Hi! I recently had a new a/c installed and it has been short cycling.. the vents and t'stat locations are unchanged, so it was making me a little nuts to diagnose the problem... yesterday i had an “ah-ha” moment! The new a/c is throwing more cfm's... so now it's shooting the cold air further towards the t'stat, causing it to think, " brrrr, it's cold in here... i better shut down the machine." The installer had mentioned that he had the blower motor set on the highest speed , so tomorrow (if i remember) I'll lower it to the 3rd (of 4} speeds...

I did connected it since and everything was well until 3 days later it did it again. I checked voltage on the contactor (good), I changed the contactor against a new one (good). Of course it is happening when it's 100F outside... not a good time to go to the furnace to check wires, that will be my next step though. I'm not sure what to do wires are properly set though. Where do I go from there? Haven't seen any ice, A coils are clean and condenser unit as well. New air filter. Nothing I can see which is obvious.

Thank you Jay! While I could have saved a couple hundred bucks more your excellent video potentially saved me thou$ands. My condenser would cycle on and off constantly and with the heat wave we've been having around here and the age of our system we were very anxious about what it would cost to repair it. I had done the same thing to an older refrigerator a couple of years ago including adding a hard start kit but after a week the compressor itself just died so I was thinking this might happen with our A/C condenser. After reviewing your top 10 failure reasons (and replacing the batteries in my thermostat) I did finally observe that the fan wasn't spinning so using an old yardstick I got it spinning and even though it was running slow it ran enough to stop cycling off and the house was cooler. Anyway, I called a guy in to look at it and told him that I had done my own investigating and thought that it might be the capacitor which is exactly what it turned out to be. I would have done this repair myself but my wife didn't trust me enough and wanted a pro. While it did end up costing us $280. at least he wasn't tempted to upsell us or try to BS us into spending more than I had to, so thanks!

Here is my AC issue and if you or someone has experienced the same I would appreciate it if you could lead me to a possible solution. When I turn it on the AC attempts to start and I can hear and see the contactor open and close for a 1-2 seconds, the fan starts during this 1-2 seconds and it stops (it never takes off completely) then everything stops. If I press the button on the contactor and keep it pressed (pushed in) the AC starts to run normally. That made me believe that the contactor is the problem. I replaced the contactor, the capacitor, the fuse in the air handler. Electricity is fine, circuit breakers are not the issue (they never trip). Drain line is clean, filter is clean, evaporative coil is clean. I am running out of ideas. Any advise I can get I would appreciate it very much. Thanks.

After listening to this Thermostat problems, along with Coils, I want to have all Condensers Off Roofs. These make too much noise. After a while, you're unable to clean this unit. Then you hear noises thinking it's coming from your system. This can and did cause a leak within my drywall. Someone went on my Roof, and dropped an instrument, creating a slow leak, which took over a year to find. "Found!" Cost was enough. Management was uncaring all through this horrible experience. I also want all Coils made as you can P/U. like a T.V. Again, clean it yourself. The only need would be inside the A/C unit. Then you'll need an A/C Technician, which are "Dime a Dozen!" This is another hardship. Paying Top Dollar, for less than knowledgeable. Each & Every A/C Technician must take a Test to keep their license up to date with an understanding of New Units along with parts. Why should a Coil have any bend units? No one touches a Coil other than a A/C Technician. I find that the soap that is used is made cheap. It should clean like degreaser. All this caked on dirt should be cleaned better. Then Sanitize for a better smell. You need to find that right Company, then you'll be much happier. Thank You;

Hi Jay. I love all of your videos. I a able to fix a lot of my problems with you by my side. However, I am haveing a bit of an issue that I am not sure if it is aproblem or not. I have a heat pump with electric furnace. Recently I obtained an energy monitor system and I noticed that my Furnace when it kicks on, it draws like 10kwh some times for 2 mnutes but some times for 10-11 minutes. Thi I found it was because of the Aux that comes on and It does it at least once an hr. I have check and replaced the following, some as a PM and some as part of trying to see what is ging on. 1- Outside and inside unit Capacitors 2- Outside and Inside Unit Defrost Circuit Brd. and Furnace fan Circuit brd. 4-Filter replaced 5-Contacted an HVAC person and he found low refrigerant (Aded almost 2 lbs) 6- replaced the Thermostat Nothing seems to point out why the aux come on automatically Even though it is like 45-50 degrees outside, still does it. Also, the unit seems to cylce on-off every 6-10 mionutes. more often like off for 6-9 minutes and on for like 9-20 minutes. Is that normal? Any help would gereatly apprecitate it. Great job and hopefully you can help me

Window units freeze for 1 of 2 reasons 1. The unit develops a small leak over time and the freon which has leaked out is now replaced with air...which contains water...the water particles will freeze and inevitably the evaporator will freeze over. 2. The most common cause for window units to freeze over is a dirty evaporator...air is drawn into the front of the AC and pulled across the cold evaporator and is discharged through the fan but if the evaporator fins are clogged with dirt/dust it stops circulation. Again the fan draws air in the front and across the evaporator and is discharged into the room and by the process of discharging this cold air it also prevents the evaporator from freezing. But without air flow the evaporator can't displaceit's it's cold temperatures and when idle or without air blowing the coldness away it freezes over...don't throw away that window unit...clean the evaporator coil and the condensing coil and she will work like new. An excessively dirty fan will also cause poor operation as the fan motor isn't designed to carry the extra weight of the dirt which is usually more like moldy Mudd and won't spin at it's design speeds and when the fan slows down so will the efficiency or both the condenser and evaporator
