Installed new unit, seemed to work good for about a week, then started having trouble. Comes on then compressor starts coming on and off at intervals but doesnt keep running and doesnt get cold. But blower continues to run.

Hey Mark, did you happen to install an Advent upper unit onto a different brand lower air distribution box? What you described sounds like the issues commonly associated with that when that goes wrong.
