I have a Dometic single station digital and when the air conditioner switches from low to high or high to low fan speed it does seem to turn off and back on within a brief moment. I believe above 3 to 5 degrees of the set point the air runs on hi and as it approaches the set point will switch to low. I have also experienced it when it will cycle up and down a bit before it decides to stay hi or stay low.
Edited to say: 4 years old and has original Dometic digital thermostat.
I am calling normal even if a bit quirky.
Set to AUTO. Yes, supposed to run high when temps are hot and then switch to low. Next time I turn it on I will set to HI to see if it will run without the sudden change. I have also heard the fan shut down for several seconds and the compressor continue to run which I believe is the change in speeds.
Turned it on and after about 15 minutes the fan seemed to hesitate. If it actually stopped and restarted I was unable to tell. It then ran for another 2 hours without any hesitation. I was unable to tell if the compressor cycled but I definitely heard the fan cycle over a split second.
Does anyone know if a run capacitor would allow that to happen? I checked all connections and the capacitors looked fine.
