Why does my Santa Fe Air Conditioner compressor keep cycling on and off?
- R
  Richard DuncanAug 5, 2025
  The compressor in your Santa Fe Air Conditioner might be cycling on and off due to several reasons: * Low ambient temperature or humidity, which causes the unit to cycle through defrost mode. It is recommended to check ambient temperature and humidity levels. * A defective compressor overload. Consider replacing it. * A defective compressor. In that case, replacement is also required. * A defective defrost thermostat. Replacement is needed. * Dirty air filter(s) or restricted airflow. Clean or replace the air filter(s) to improve airflow. * A defective fan or relay. Replacement is needed.

  If neither the fan nor the compressor of your Santa Fe Air Conditioner are running when dehumidification is needed, consider the following: 1. Check if the dehumidifier is properly plugged in and that the outlet has power. 2. Ensure that the humidity control is not set too high; try lowering it. 3. Inspect the internal and control wiring for any loose connections. 4. If none of the above work, the compressor relay might be defective and require replacement.

Check and secure any loose connections. * A defective compressor overload, which needs replacing. * A defective compressor. Replacement is required. * An open defrost thermostat. Check the defrost thermostat and replace it if it's open.
