Blowing Hot Air

My airconditioner worked great then I turned it off and in about 5 mins I turned it back on, It would only blow hot air like the heater. Only once has it came back on . I turned it off till i needed it a few mins later but nothing. I have checked all the fuses (that I know of).

Any suggestions???

So you are saying it will cycle on once in awhile and blow cool air, right, well Bob O sounds to me if this is the case your system may be a little low on freon, doesn't have enough in it to keep the compressor cycling, You can remove the plug from the cycling switch and use a jumper to enguage your compressor to assure you that it is working, but I would say it's time for some freon, if the compressor is working, also may wanna have who ever you get to service it check for leaks in the system, A sign of a leak that you can see is where the lines hook together it will be very dirty looking....Good Luck Bob O, hope this helped...

I saw the thread title "Blowing hot air" and thought this was going to be about politics.

The clutch will not get power if the system is low on freon. The low pressure switch prevents the clutch from engaging when pressure is low.
