Fairly new, newly-charged compressor keeps cycling on and off

Motor Vehicle Maintenance & Repair Asked by Nikida on February 25, 2021

2005 Mazda 3, A/c compressor and condensor replaced less than two years ago. Last summer I noticed the A/C keeps cycling on and off repeatedly. I have had the unit charged, emptied, charged again, checked, and no one can tell me why it still turns on and off by itself. I am worried this compressor will lock too and I’ll have wasted all the money I spent. I’ve already spent a few hundred bucks trying to find the problem but no one can figure it out. An ideas? It’s nothing I can fix myself, I’m not a very handy lady when it comes to anything besides oil, tire pressure, or gassing up my ride. Thanks in advance!

That's normally the sign of low refrigerant charge. But since you've had that done, I suspect you've got a bad evaporator temp sensor or a failing expansion valve.
