York air conditioner short cycles; turns on and off frequently without reaching set temperature

Safety: Turn off power before removing thermostat or opening equipment panels.

• Check thermostat location: Ensure it is not in direct sun, near supply vents, or on an exterior wall. Relocate if necessary.
• Review thermostat settings: On some York stats, adjust cycle rate or differential to reduce rapid cycling.
• Inspect filters and coils: Dirty filters or coils can cause pressure trips and short cycling. Clean/replace as needed.
• Have system sizing checked: If the unit is significantly oversized for the home, a professional may recommend airflow adjustments or equipment changes.
