I am not very knowlefdgeable in AC, but it seems to me the thermostat is shutting off the compressor and trying to turn it back on too soon (about a minute). Does this sound like a defective thermostat or is some other circuitry involved?

What is the amperage rating on the nameplate of the A/C ? -- Regards, Doug Miller (alphageek at milmac dot com) It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again. It only requires 15 amps. kkri |
