Float Switch Testing — Why Your AC Keeps Turning On and Off

Is your outside AC unit short-cycling — turning on and off repeatedly? A bad float switch (also called a condensate overflow switch or safety switch) could be the culprit. In this video we show you how to locate, test, and diagnose a faulty float switch. The float switch is a safety device that shuts down your system when the condensate drain line is clogged or the drain pan is full. When it malfunctions, it can cause your unit to cycle on and off every few minutes. We explain how it works, how to test it, and when to replace it. 🔗 Shop HVAC parts: https://otp-hvac.com/catalog/ 🔗 Related video — 6 Fail-Proof Methods To Help Diagnose Your HVAC Units: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWFxLKBysH8 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🏪 SHOP HVAC PARTS — No Account Needed!
