Rheem heat pump unit restarts as it kicks off
hello, my 7 year old rheem heat pump ac unit heats and cools, but now as it kicks off it will immediately restarts for a minute, or a few seconds before it shuts off completely. Any ideas on where to look? thanks

Does the inside unit start ie. fan run as it should, does the fan on the condenser unit start?

Yes unit starts and cools then kicks off normally. This is happening more frequently especially during the late hours of the night. It would be hard to determine the problem because it does not do it all of the time... It did it this winter on the heating cycle and now it's doing it on the cooling cycle. thanks

It sounds like a thermostat issue.
Do you have a Honeywell 5000 series or higher?
I do not recommend a Honeywell below the 5000 series. The 4000 and down do not appear to have the same quality.

New development: It makes a thumping sound and kicks on and back off now. Like three thumps and then starts and stops couple of minutes later it will start and run.
