Why Does It Keep Switching From Air Conditioning To Fan?

Hi, I have it set on the cooling mode. However, after about 5-10 minutes of running, it will switch to fan only and the air is actually quite warm (even warmer than a fan). It switches back and forth from air conditioning to fan in about 5-10 minute intervals. I do not have it on timer or sleep mode. I turned the temperature to the lowest temperature possible. And yet, the air coniditioner keeps switching off to just fan and it actually blows hot air. Thanks!

I had same problem. I cleaned off filter and dusted and wiped the coil good. Then unhooked the lil wire that is either the coil or temp sensor and let it hang there. When I say unhooked, its not disconnected just freely hanging. Works perfect again.
