Do AC Blowers Take Breaks?

DerbyDad03 · 2007-07-07T23:55:43+00:00

I turned on my AC few hours ago and set to blower to ON, as opposed toAUTO. The temp hasn't reached the set point yet, so the AC has beenrunning since I turned it on.I was down in the basement doing some stuff (unrelated to the AC) whenthe blower stopped. Curious, I went upstairs to check the thermostatand it was calling for AC and the blower was still set to ON.I went back downstairs and after about 20 seconds the blower came backon. I don't think it was off for more than a minute. This is thesecond season with the AC and I don't recall this happening before,but since it was off for less than a minute, who knows?Any thoughts?

FYI...I posted my question over at

this is teh answer I got:

"Yeah that's normal. I see that delay on a lot of models. Prevents high vapor pressure, to protect the compressor on startup and keeps the amperage low."
