My central air conditioner works perfectly and cools the house just fine, but the fan

outside...? ...repeatedly turns off/on???
Not at a normal level either. It will typically run this way: Turns on for about 15 seconds, "CLICK" turns off. Turns on for another 15 seconds, "CLICK" turns off. It keeps doing this while the AC is running.

What could the problem be and what should I do, if anything, about it?

Again, the AC works great, it does not affect the cooling of the house.

Is it supposed to do this? I've only owned the home for 22 months and I rarely use the air, but it has done this since I moved in.

The Manufacture is Carrier and this is the model/other info on the side:

Example of how it continually runs:

Please don't recommend I contact the manufacturer and leave it at that. They do not diagnose problems when you call customer service, they recommend you get the unit serviced. I want to know if it is necessary, or if I can fix it.
