GM Delco Condiotionair 365 , home unit turns on then kicks off and buzzes.?
Question:
Answers:
Every air conditioner has a motor called a compressor. The compressor provides the cooling capacity for the air conditioner. If the compressor or its electrical controls are defective the compressor may try to start, fail, and create an electrical overload. If the unit does create an overload, every compressor circuit is also equipped with an overload safety switch (you may hear like a buzzing sound). The safety switch is designed to protect the compressor from burning out. The safety switch will cut the power to the compressor for a certain length of time and then reset itself. When it resets it will allow the electricity to flow to the compressor once again. If the compressor then starts, the unit should function normally. If the compressor doesn't start when the overload resets, the overload will again cut the electricity to the compressor. This cycle will continue indefinitely. (Always allow three to five minutes before restarting the compressor.) If this situation is occurring, unplug the air conditioner and get help from a qualified repair technician. This problem is often fatal to the air conditioner because the cost of repair often exceeds the price of a new air conditioner.
Sorry for bad news...
Try rewriting your question. Is it central or window unit? Does it kick a circuit breaker or does the unit itself kick off. If central does the outdoor or indoor unit kick off. If window does the fan keep running and the compressor kick off or vice versa? The more information you can give, the easier it is to give you a good answer. I notice you have not had a response until now and I think the lack of information is why. Hope this will help out.
