Compressor keeps turning off and on. Stays on for about a minute. Cycles off. Then stays off. Does recycle after a few minutes. How do I add coolant and where
Cold air does come out of AC when compressor is on. Can I get it fixed and where.
You can do the ac evacuation and recharge yourself but it's a moderate job not many people understand how to do it. Will save a ton of money. Just don't let the old ac refrigerant into the atmosphere. Chrisfixit on YouTube does a good ac Evac and recharge video.
It is normal for the compressor to cycle - when a certain pressure is reached in the system, a pressure switch disengages the compressor clutch, and then activates it again when then the pressure drops below a certain point. Unless your air temperature doesn't stay relatively constant, there is no need to do anything. If it doesn't, the system may need recharging and that should only be done at a certified repair shop.
