A/C stops cooling intermittently

[RealMenDIY]

2021 JLUR, on longer drives with A/C going, it periodically stops cooling for approx. 30 seconds, about every 90 mins or so. Wasn’t sure if this was a cooling issue or a feature to keep the cooling coil from freezing over. I typically keep my A/C on recirc mode. By the time I notice the air from the vents isn’t as cool it usually starts cooling again. I’m in the SE so it’s hot (mid-eighties+) and humid (70%+) on the reg.

Not sure if anyone else experiences the same.

I just picked up a '22 and it does the same thing - but with a lot more regularity than that. Hot & humid here as well (South Texas). My only gripe about the vehicle so far - loved it so far - but this is a bit annoying.

My 22 JLUR does it every 90 minutes as well down here in the swamp... It reminds me how lucky I am to have AC

Think there was a long-standing issue where the HVAC randomly decides to bring in fresh air from outside periodically (even with recirc on) for whatever reason. Maybe that's the reason for the warmer air you're feeling?

Normal behavior reported on JL's since 2018 when the JL was first made available.... again normal to see....

Normal, the 3 JLs, 1 JT, and 1 KL Cherokee I have/had all have done this.

Thanks for the replies, good to know. It is a very minor inconvenience and actually a welcomed feature if you have ever had a car whose coil would freeze over. I had an old 97 Accord that did, it was very annoying.

My Jeep's A/C provides constant cooling, from the moment it's turned on until I shut it off.

I've a Sport w/analog HVAC control knobs. I say that because prior threads on this subject suggest that the issue of interrupted cooling is possibly linked with the touchscreen HVAC icons on the 7" and 8.4" screens. Just a thought.
