On/Off Air con compresser

Post by amshaw »

G'day Fella's,
Just wondering if I can get some help about my air con compresser?

Its cuts in & out most of the time.....Ive looked at fuse's and relays (changed both) but it still does it....could it be getting low on gas?

Maybe a elec prob?

I dont like the idea of taking it to a air con place but I may need to anyway if there is a slow leak etc.....any ideas please?

Do you mean it is switching on too often, or only working intermittently? Is it cooling the air?

Probably the pressure switch mounted on the drier. When the pressure drops too far, as it gets colder, switches off the compressor. If you are desperate you could connect the two pressure switch wires together, and thus isolate the switch, but really this is just putting off the day you get the system leak tested and regassed.
