Have a Rheem model RAKA-048JAZ air conditioner. The problem: The ac comes on fine (blower and condenser seem to be working, getting cold air). After 10 min, the circuit in the house trip and the condensor fan stops. Blower (which is part of the furnace) continues to blow. At the thermostat, if I turn the temp way up so everything should shut off (this is when the circuit to the condenser is tripped), the blower continues to blow. When I turn the thermostat off, the blower continues to blow. The only way I can turn the blower of is to disconnect the thermostat. OK...so I replaced the thermostat and the new one is doing the same thing. I cleaned the fins and coils on the compresser and cleaned out the electronics on the compressor. Still, it works for 10 minutes and then trips. Any ideas? Thanks.

your fan switch is on first of all switch it to auto
your breaker if its a problem that developed with out any body touching it your compresser is drawing high amps and will need to be replaced if its new you breaker could be low most companys will come out and tell you whats wrong for under a hundred bucks
