1. Stuck contactor.
2. Shorted wiring creating a 115 v. path of current to the motor
continuously.
3. Welded contacts on contactor due to a bug(s) or mouse .
4. Welded contacts on contactor due to a power surge / brownout
occuring.
5. Short of R to Y control wires causing a/c unit to continually call
for cooling.
6. Defective thermostat causing -ditto- .

Call an hvac serviceman.

Turn off the breaker, get a repairman out.

It must be hot out. Wait till the temp outside cools down.
