Your AC may turn on and off frequently (short cycling) due to several reasons:
Thermostat Problems: Incorrect placement or faulty thermostat.
Dirty Air Filters: Clogged filters restricting airflow.
Refrigerant Issues: Low refrigerant levels or leaks.
Oversized AC Unit: An AC that's too large for the space.
Electrical Issues: Faulty wiring or loose connections.
Blocked Condenser Coils: Debris around the outdoor unit.
Faulty Capacitor: Malfunctioning capacitor affecting the compressor.
Fixing these issues with the assistance of a professional is recommended and will help your AC's efficiency, dependability, and overall performance.
