Clean the coils, inside and out. I can usually get at least a one amp drop by cleaning the outside coils, often two or three amps.
Chris, he is pulling in excess of 21 amps which caused the breaker to trip. IF cleaning would drop lets be generous 4 amps, that still puts the amp load at 17 amps at 95. STILL 3 amps too high. As I stated, there is no Magic fix and cleaning the coils while should be done will not fix this problem. Doug
Doug, all we know is that when it gets hot it trips a breaker. We don't know the current draw, we don't know the temperature at the condenser. I suspect a dirty coil and weak breaker.
I should have added if possible I would move to a single space breaker, if there is room in the panel.
