I removed the cover, used a multimeter to test the compressor circuit, and found the compressor start relay to be defective. Ordered a new one and installed it when it arrived.
Removed the cowling with a square drive screw driver, removed the spring clip from the cover of the compressor controls with a screw driver, pulled off the old compressor start relay and replaced it with the new part. Since other problems could have caused the compressor to short cycle this was a "replace the part and hope it would work" since that would be the most common reason and it was not a very expensive part.
Removed two screws holding the faceplate that held the humidistat. Removed knob, and two screws holding humidisat.. Removed two wires (push on terminals) . Reversed procedure to install new humididstat. Removed defrost thermostat from suction line, cut wires, installed new defrost thermostat, stripped wires, used wire nuts to connect control. Replaced faceplate..
