Perhaps member Doug can enlighten us a bit more, but from what I know about my Coleman Mach 1, regardless of the fan mode, etc. once the compressor cycles to Off there is a 3 min time delay before the compressor can restart again, this to allow time for the high-side of the compressor to equalize (or bleed down) to the low-side, however can’t say whether this attribute is driven by the air conditioner or by the t-stat...

the time delay starts when the uni has been TURNED OFF. it will not try to cycle it's self in just 3 min. if you turn it off or the power goes out it will not restart for ten min. not 3.
Where do you get this 10 minute delay? I constantly in service shut power OFF or turn the AC OFF and never have had a 10 minute delay. Doug

. Compressor Time Delay
A time delay of approximately 2 minutes occurs any time the compressor is required
to begin the cooling or heat pump cycle.
