This is usually caused by an iced-up indoor evaporator coil or an extremely dirty condenser coil. The compressor motor has a safety overload sensor that will shut it off as soon as it gets too hot. This should be looked at by a professional. We have seen countless home owners attempt to clean the A/C coils themselves, and accidentally bend the aluminum fins or push dirt further into the coil. There are other situations that can cause short cycling. The best approach is to call a professional. What causes a strange / burning smell when the furnace is on? Strange smells can happen when the A/C turns on or off. While the air conditioner is running it is condensing water on the evaporator coil that sits above the furnace or air handler. This water usually interacts with dust and/or pet hair to create a funky smell. Having your A/C properly cleaned should remedy this. A burning smell however, could be an indicator that the fan motor is failing. Call a pro! Final Words Most A/C problems can be prevented with proper maintenance!
