The 3-minute built-in cooling delay is a safety feature found in many appliances, such as air conditioners and refrigerators, designed to protect the compressor from overheating. After the unit is turned off or the thermostat is satisfied, this delay prevents the compressor from restarting immediately, allowing it to cool down before resuming operation. This helps to extend the lifespan of the appliance and improve its efficiency. The brief pause also allows for pressure equalization in the system.
