2009 Tahoe 1LT AC goes on and off intermittently

The AC on my Tahoe goes on and blows cold air but will shut off after like a half hour. When I shut the AC off and turn it back on after a couple of minutes it works. Any ideas?

Determine if the AC compressor drive plate (the center section) is still turning when this happens.

Does the air stop blowing out the vents, or comes out hot when this happens?

Thank you so much for your reply. It is not a cold warm air problem. Not sure what you mean by auto ac or manual. Please clarify

Sounds like an actuator issue, like 3 of those electric actuators under the dash, they direct the air flow.

I replaced one myself on our 2005 Yukon.

manual ac sytems are controlled by the driver. automatic ac systems are controlled by computer and they control fan speed independantly....you would see an auto button
