compressor runs too long

I have a condensing unit on one of my rentals that keeps running after the blower inside shuts off. It will run for a few muntes after the the blower inside stops. Then the blower comes back on for a minute and shuts off. It only does it after gets pretty hot outside,90 degrees plus.

Thanks

1st off turn the stat to the off position and see if the outdoor unit continues to run. If so then the outdoor contactor is more than likely going to need replaced which you should be able to do. If it shuts off then it's something else. You said the indoor blower shuts off then comes back on. Has the stat reach set-point at this point ? Sounds like you've got an issue with the indoor blower. It could be the motor itself or the fan relay or even the stat or wiring.

Im with Matt: Id check the tstat first if its one of the new electronic kind. We have been haveing to replace a lot of them. They just seem to screw up sometimes.
