There are a number of controls in series with the cooling
relay. Anti recycle timer, HP/LP control and compressor
thermal and current Overload.. However the HP control is
normally a manual reset and the LP auto reset so the Unit
as Uncle monster said is probably cycling on the LP control
which indicates a loss of refrigerant charge

Hi everyone.
I have a central air conditioning unit in my ranch-style home (full
basement also). Yesterday the AC just kicked off randomly. I checked
the thermostat and it seemed to be functioning ok (it's digital). I
went downstairs to the power switch dedicated to the central air unit
and turned it off, then back on again. The AC kicked back on, stayed
on and started blowing cool air, then kicked back off again 2 minutes
later.
I suspected there was an airflow problem of some type (filter, etc)
but that doesn't appear to be case, at least not as far as I can
tell.
Are there any other common causes for this type of behavior?
Thank you for any responses,
Mike
