The AC Compressor will kick on and off to maintain approx 32 psi on the suction side of your Air Conditioning system. This creates a continuous cycle of Freon which will change from a Liquid on the suction side into a Gas on the Pressure side. During this exchange from Liquid to Gas cold air is created to cool your space.
If you have climate control, it will work like that when it's on auto.
You probably need a new air filter for your a/c The clicking is probably caused by the clutch on the compressor. If the Ac isn't charged enough it could cause this to kick the compressor off and on. You compressor could also be bad. You werent real clear what the problem was. Hope this helps.
You are low on refrigerant, google R134a...
your compressor will not kick on if not enough pressure in system
its completely normal..if by shutting off you mean the pulley quits its normal all that's happening is your compressor is cycling the freon through and charging it up
why wont the ac compressor shut off stays on on all settings
The ac compressorThe ac compressor
Bad compressor
Turn the compressor off.
Fuse, low refrigerant, bad compressor clutch, or relay.
AC Compressor has died and needs replacement. The compressor will not turn therefore building pressure in the low side.
Check charge. (R12)
