What is wrong if the compressor will not cut off in a central air?

Most likely, it is a stuck contactor or relay that controls the compressor motor. If the compressor continues to run after the blower inside the house has shut off, the only way to stop it is to kill the power, either at a dedicated switch or sub-panel for the air conditioning, or at your main breaker panel. Turn off the power to the air conditioning and furnace system until you can have the unit serviced.

What is the function of compressor governor?
It puts the compressor into an unload state once cut out pressure is reached, and back into a loaded state once the cut in pressure is reached. Depending on the exact setup, a line from one of your air tanks will go to your governor. When the cut out pressure (between 120 and 135 psi) is reached, a valve opens in the governor to send air to to compressor and to the air drier. This closes the discharge valve on the compressor, sending it into an unloaded state, and also starts the air drier purge cycle.
Why does your air compressor cut on and off when you have the heat on?
When you have the heat on and select defrost / demist position to clear your windows , the air conditioning compressor cycles on and off to help de-humidify the air - at least that's the way it is on my 1995.
Why does your 91 s-10 blazer cut back when you turn the air on?
The ac compressor is probably on its way out.
What would you look at to make sure the air brake compressor is in good condition?
Air pressure buildup rates, proper cut out/cut in pressures, amount of oil being produced.
I have re-charged the air condition and replaced the air door actuator in my 2002 Chevy S-10 2.2liter and my AC doesn't work why?
If the compressor is not kicking in, check the fuse, check the compressor clutch air gap, check the low pressure cut out switch, check the high pressure cut out switch.
If i am trying to cut energy costs How much can I expect it to cost to do a yearly service on a central air unit in North Augusta SC?
That all depends on what's wrong with it and who you call.
What causes home air conditioning not to work?
Open circuit breakers. Poor electrical connections to the compressor, thermostat or bad wires not telling relay to cut the compressor on. Elaborate
How does a air dryer on a truck work?
The compressor compresses air and send it to either a wet tank or directly to the air dryer. Oil and moisture in the compressed air are absorbed by the desiccant in the air dryer canister. When the compressor signals cut out, it also send a signal to the dryer to open the purge valve, which purges the canister.
Is air conditioner compressor supposed to kick on even while not in use on 1999 ranger?
If the outside temperature is about 50 degrees Fahrenheit ( 10 * C ) or higher and the defrost or floor and defrost modes are selected the air conditioning compressor will cut in and out as it dehumidifies the air ( that's normal )
If you run your central air unit for an hour with the cover on what are the chances it is not ruined?
lets just hope you have a high pressure safety switch installed in the unit. This way it would cut out the compressor from running due to high refrigerant pressure. Or possibly it could have blown a fuse or tripped the circuit breaker due to high amperage from compressor and fan running.
How are air compressors classified?
The two main classification of Air Compressor are. 01) Positive Displacement Type. 02) Dynamic Type. 01)Positive Displacement Type Air Compressor. Positive displacement types compressor are those who mechanically displace a fixed volume of air into a reduced volume.The constant volume can be delivered by compressor when operated at fixed speed.The discharge pressure is determined by the system load conditions.If the consumption of air is more then discharge pressure falls below the cut-off pressure & compressor works on load condition. Dynamic Type Air Compressor. The Dynamic Type Air Compressors mechanically impart velocity to the air.This action is produced by the Impellers rotating at a high speed,in enclosed casing.The air is forced into a progressively reduced volume.The volumetric flow will vary inversely with the differential pressure across the compressor.
Home air condition is blowing air only?
1. Is the fan and compressor on the outside (codensor unit) working? A. Thermostat switch off, set to fan only. B. Check the circuit breakers or fuses. There may also be a fuse box near the compressor. C. The control wire to the compressor is cut or broken. D. Low freon. E. Burnt out compressor. F.Capacitor( run or start)or both is bad
