Is it normal for the air conditioning to cycle about every 20 minutes or so? Mine seems to turn off after 20 minutes and then turn off for one minute then restart, is this normal?

Are you sure it’s not just the fan cycling?

You can program it to not do that. From my understanding it is sensing the temp not dropping to its setting and thinks it is freezing up so it shuts down. Then it determines it isn't frozen and restarts.
Mine did that during the night and it would drive me nuts while sleeping. I had my A/C guy on the boat and he reprogrammed it. Been fine since.

Thank you for all of the replies, I will have my AC man take a look at it and maybe have it reprogrammed. Thanks again.
