My air conditioner works but it will not stay on all the time. It turns its self off then one minute later comes on again for a few minutes.I want it to stay on constantly. Can you help?

It likely has a temp sensor in the evaporator that shuts the compressor off when the evaporator gets too cold and close to freezing.

First thing to do to diagnose this is get the high and low pressures check with a duel gauge manifold set, best get a certified A/C tech to do this as they will be able to understand what is going on with the pressure readings that they read.
