- Air conditioner compressors are controlled by electric clutch. Just pull
- the wire off the compressor and see if it stops running. If it does, you
- have an electrical problem. If is does not, then the electric clutch is
- stuck in the engaged position, and need to be repaired or replaced.
-
- In normal operation, the compressor will cycle off and on, controlled by
- the interior air temperature themostat and also (I believe) a pressure
- switch.
