My Cyclone's main A/C unit keep cycling on/off about every 8-10 minutes (give or take). When the compressor is running the unit cools fine (~15-18º lower than intake) but the compressor will only run for about 8-10 minutes. The fan goes to high for ~20 seconds and the units shuts off with the thermostat indicating “Compressor Delay” (hourglass icon). After about 2 minutes the process repeats.
I have cleaned the condenser and evaporator coils, the fan spins easily, the frost sensor has accurate reading (at least at 70ºF), filters are clean, no vent obstruction, the inside and outside temperature probes are accurate (within 2º), no debris in the unit, no leaks, no water, weather strips are fine, and my EMS is not reporting any electrical issues. No errors or anything unusual on the thermostat.
Any suggestions for troubleshooting further? I have no clue why the compressor shuts off. It is 81º outside and 78º inside which is unbearable for a Viking. The air is not blowing on the thermostat, it is set to 72º and interior temperature reads 78º.
Thank you.
