Short Cycling from High Pressure Protection Activation

Likely causes

High pressure rise from condenser fan failure

Check: Verify condenser fan is running

What to do: Verify condenser fan is running → Clean condenser → Check high-side gauge reading → Refer to 'High Pressure Switch Keeps Tripping' diagnostic tree

Poor heat rejection from condenser fouling

Check: Clean condenser

What to do: Clean condenser → Check high-side gauge reading → Refer to 'High Pressure Switch Keeps Tripping' diagnostic tree

Refrigerant overcharge or non-condensable gas

Check: Check high-side gauge reading

What to do: Check high-side gauge reading → Refer to 'High Pressure Switch Keeps Tripping' diagnostic tree

Field tip

High-pressure switch is repeatedly tripping. Refer to 'High Pressure Switch Keeps Tripping' to resolve the root cause.
