Why does my AC condenser turn on and off?
If your air conditioner keeps turning on and off your AC system is most likely short cycling. An AC system may turn on and off repeatedly due to dirty, broken, or failing parts or for various other mechanical or electrical reasons. It also causes extra wear and tear on the mechanisms that work to turn on your AC.
What to do about intermittent a / C in Subaru Outback?

But if the ac doesn’t actually feel cold there is a problem. When the ac system is in fact not performing as it should a diagnoses must be performed.
