What does Condensing air restricted or air short-cycling. mean?

The flow of air over the outdoor coil is restricted, or the air is being recirculated. This prevents proper heat transfer and causes high head pressure.

• Obstructions around the unit (e.g., fences, plants).
• Improper unit location causing recirculation.
• Internal airflow obstructions.
