Re: air compressor kicks on and off

Thanks.
Just an FYI...I have been doing this for over 10 years.

"Just adding freon until the compresser stays on all of the time and without a low and high side gauge"
I assume if he is working on his A/C unit he would have the prober gauges.

If he adds freon and it stays on his then checks the pressure it will probably be around 20-25 lbs when the compressor is running. This is normal.

Again... The low pressure switch is what is turning off the compressor.
It's supposed to work that way.

In this case unless the poster posted the pressure reading backwards his system has a problem.

Is not the safe and proper way to recharge a air cond.
And the one hose stop and go gauge death kit with the super glue is a no no.
