System frequently short cycles (turns on and off every few minutes) without reaching set temperature

Safety first: No internal electrical work is required for basic checks.

Steps to try:

• Clean filters and coils: Ensure airflow is not restricted, which can cause freeze protection to cycle the unit.
• Adjust setpoint: Avoid extremely low setpoints; use moderate settings to reduce cycling.
• Relocate remote (I-Feel): If using I-Feel, keep the remote in a representative location away from direct airflow or sunlight.
• Observe pattern: Note whether the outdoor unit also cycles or only the indoor fan stops; share this with a technician if needed.

When to call a pro: Persistent short cycling may require control logic evaluation or confirmation that the system is properly sized.
