Because of the thermostat. This will turn on the unit when the temperature gets below what ever degree it is set at and then will turn off when the thermostat gets at that temperature.

What could be wrong if the compressor on your AC unit comes on for about 2 minutes then it turns itself off and if you let it set for a couple of hours then it comes back on just fine?
When the compressor comes back on does it stay on?
Why does the AC stay on in a 2001 Prizm Whenever the fan is running the AC is on. It only shuts off when the fan is. Also the light goes on and off as the AC button is pressed but the AC stays on.?
If you have the selector knob on defrost it will also run the air conditioner compressor.

Why does the compressor on the house ac stay on after the thermostat goes off?
My first guess without seeing it is that the contactor is stuck (welded) shut and needs to be replaced. If you have not already done so turn the outdoor unit off until this is fixed or you will be replacing the compressor too.
What causes the air conditioning in a Oldsmobile Intrigue to go on and off?
I am having the same problem. Brought it to an AC specialist and they told me it was my heating/AC panel switch that was going bad. The clutch would not stay engaged because the AC on/off switch was bad.

Possibly low on refrigerant, time to call a repair man.

1990 ford bronco the ac works great on low when you turn it up the fan kicks works for a few minutes and then shuts off then it kicks on again for a few minutes and goes off again. heat blows fine why?
You need to recharge your AC Lines. They will work in Low because they dont have to have so much pressure as if they were in high. So that is why they kick off and on.
Is it ok to turn off the AC when the house is empty and turn it on when you return after work?
Yes that is fine. If you are worried about the bills the best thing to do is to turn the ac down not off when you leave and then when you come back, turn it back up to your comfort level. This way you do not have to try to re-cool the whole house.
Approximately how often should the AC cycle stay on and off if you just had central AC installed?
AnswerAssuming there are no system maintenance or installation faults, simply speaking: if they OVERSIZED the system, it will cut on and then cut right off but the interval between cutting ON the first time and cutting ON the second time in any case will be dependent on how fast the house heats back up and that depends completely on outdoor temperature, shade on the house, number of windows with the sun shining through and insulation values.If they UNDERSIZED the system, it will never cut off.If they got it right, the time between cut on and cut off should be at least ten minutes for a slightly warm day and get longer and longer for increases in outdoor temperature and sunshine until you reach a record hot day where it never shuts off.
