This same approach can also be used for a Ductless air mini split. Same sound, same fix. Different system. Thank you a.milloin over. This saved me my pride and money, lol.
@Jesse Williams You're welcome! It's good to know that this video applies to other systems as well. Thanks for the tip! We're glad to hear about your success.
You helped me a lot! Thank you! I'm grandma and really never fixed these type of things but thanks to you I did it!
@Lisa Luna Congratulations on your success! We are happy that we could be a part of it! Thank you for letting us know that you found our video helpful!
I thought maybe the bearings had gone bad but after watching this i figured out the blower was just dirty. Tnx for posting
@zerocool1ist Nice find! Glad to be of help.
Nice video of repair mentality compared to the replacement mentality nowadays. Appreciate your video.
Thank you! We appreciate your feedback.
Was able to fix my ac because of you and saved 500$ thank you so much.
You are most welcome. We are glad to hear that our video helped.
You message at the end sums up America. 8:00
@LBJ Media Too true!
It happened the same thing to my ac last night! And i did fix after watching this vid. Very helpful! You stopped me from calling an AC repairman
That's the kind of comment we LOVE to hear! So glad we could help. Congratz on your repair!
I love the idea of shooting videos on simple fixes and common issues!!! Subscribed!!
Thank you. Welcome to Ever Expanding Life!
You just made me fix my AC. Mine has the exact same noise and I also thought it had to do with the fan.
Nice! Glad we could help.
I saw your video! And I have a brand new repaired AC thanks to you and your great video...Thank You so very much....
Awesome! So glad we could help!
5 years later THANKS MUCH!
@Rod Ola Glad to help.
Thank you so much for your video!!! And the dismantling of your AC unit, and you mentioning safety is also awesome!!!
Thank you very much!!!
@Mike Atiga You're welcome! Thank you so much for your feedback!
Thanks man. This helped me fix mine and save me some bling. Plus the joy of not wasting and fixing it myself...
@Joshua Schwartz It does feel good, doesn't it? Thanks for the feedback.
Thank you dude I could not sleep it was to loud and my room is really hot
You're Welcome!
Hey, thank you so much for this video. I was having exactly the same problem with my Haier window unit. Took it apart, cleaned it (I needed about 30 Q Tips to clean inside the slots of the blower wheel)and slightly adjusted where it appeared to be rubbing. Sounded a lot worse than what the actual problem was. Thanks again!
@Alex B You're welcome! We are so glad you found our video helpful. Congratulation on your successful repair!
Funny mine had the same issue way better then throwing out $150 that i only got this year!!! Thanks for the vid
@Bruce G You're welcome. Thanks for the feedback.
Wow! Excellent video I just have that problem last night, lucky I always have 1 extra because the heat here in Texas, but I will fix the one I just take off, thanks for the well explained video
You're welcome. Good luck with your repair.
Thanks you are wesome!!! Mines was was so lound like this and almost bought a new one. U saved me!!!
You are welcome. Glad we could help you!
I have the same model and the same problem. It appears that someone forgot to adjust the fan on its spindle at the factory. Your video saved me the hassle of trying to figure out the problem.
@mark stone Fantastic! Glad our video saved you time & trouble!
Thank you Ever Expanding Life for great and easy tutorial. Problem fixed, happy nights again.
@M Orozco You're welcome! Glad the video helped.
Thank You, yep was on my way to spend money on a new one. Your amaizing!
Glad we could help!
Thank u 🙏🏻 my husband gave up on it so I opened it up an did it & there was a straw his nephew shoved inside there 💀 it’s fixed now thanks for ur video helped me a lot
@Brittanee Parker We're glad our video helped you find the problem. Congratulations on your victory!
Thank you! This is exactly ho how my Maytag AC sounds. It's gotta be the same, but I will take apart after work today and inspect it as you demonstrated to verify.
@Nicolas Salazar Good Luck! Let me know how it turns out.
Thank you for reaching out. It ended up being the remote control being stuck there. Some smart individual I shall not mention by name decided to stick the remote in one of the vents for next season and when moving the AC it appears the remote fell in...
@Nicolas Salazar Thanks for following up! Congratulations on solving your problem. You never know what you're going to find when you open up an AC.
I had the same problem thank you for your help! Keep up the good work
Thanks for the feedback! It's awesome to know you found this helpful!
sick cut bro.
His hair is still nice and lined up along the pony tail line, bold style
Thanks
While your at it and have it apart a bit, you should clean it out with the water hose and soap to prevent noises like that in the future.
Cleaning out the AC is good advice. I'm not sure if I would be comfortable using a hose around all of the electrical components, but a controlled cleaning would certainly be helpful. Thank you for your feedback.
@@everexpandinglife your welcome! There is nothing to worry about in the electrical world, the inside of an ac is wet anyways from condensate, but just let it dry for an hour and a half in the sun before plugging back in ;)
This helped me so much thank you!
@Tiauna Goodnight You're welcome! Thank you for letting us know you found our video useful!
Aye thx for the tip in my case I watched your break down and it had the same sound at closer look it was tilting too far back once I got it back up right again tightened the tape and window around it ... it was back to normal thx for the video
@nikki nicole You are very welcome! Congratulations on your successful repair!
That what was wrong with mine thank you so much
@Paulita Rodriguez You're Welcome! Glad you found our video helpful!
Wow. Great job. U guys are great. Thank you and god bless
@ Tommy Castro Our pleasure! Thank you for your feedback.
Thanks so much for this great video - at the end of last summer we had a squeaking sound happening from our 18 yr-old Goldstar unit and I assumed it was a bad bushing that I was not excited to replace. Surprisingly, this summer it made no noise - until today when it started back up again, and your video opened my eyes to a possibly different cause. I just went outside and couldn't hear the noise out there, so I'm certain I have an issue with the front fan similar to yours, where it's rubbing against styrofoam or something else. Excited to take it apart soon! Thanks so much for the encouragement to fix it yourself!!
You're welcome! Best of Luck! Let us know how it goes. Also, especially since your AC is 18 years old, you might want to clean out any of the dirt & mold that have accumulated. The next time I open up ours, I plan on giving it a thorough cleaning.
@QuarkyTV We just opened up our AC & cleaned it. Here's the video if you want to take a look. ruclips.net/video/tFMWCANXwqs/видео.html
Nice sharing. That was called common sense troubleshooting.
@ AIRCONPUTER TV Yes it was! Sometimes that's all it takes.
@@everexpandinglife thank you so much and if you time you may visit also my videos. Im from the Philippines.
Nice, Well produced.
@Michael Mcbride Thank you!
Very well explained thanku😊
@upwandewan6099 You're welcome. Thanks for your kind comment.
My AC IS FIX!! Thank you
@Sharie Lady You are most welcome! Congratulations on fixing your AC!
Assalam o alekum
Thanks for your idea
Glad to help.
thanks bro. m facing the same problem. now i'll try to fix it by myself.
You're welcome. Good luck!
i have fixed that fan sound problem, but now air swing is not working....what to do now??
I don't know. I've never had an AC with and an air swing. But, I would probably start by getting inside the unit and examining it for any obvious signs of breakage, misalignment, etc. If all looks well, I'd probably test any electrical feeds to any driving mechanisms. But, I'm only guessing.
Wouldn't a bad bearings cause play and cause the rubbing? Good video still a solid fix and how to video. Mines doing the same thing, exact model you have. Just going to redo bearings anyways so I'm only opening 9nce.
@really really panda Makes sense. Good luck on your repair.
Thank you for the video..👍
@granaguila102 Our pleasure!
I have that exact one!
I really liked this vid though I am not sure the cause of the noise of my more modern wall attached AC is the same. will check it out though & thanks a lot!
@TheMrBennito You're welcome. I hope you find something useful.
Come fix mine guys!! Haha good job. I know it's just the fan but I can't pick it up out of the window. Too heavy.
@Cotyblue Robinson Sorry you're having issues. If you manage to get the thing out of the window and do attempt a repair, hopefully it will go smoothly. Best of luck!
That's the unit I have and I suspect that's my problem. Not looking forward to taking it apart, but at least it's clean-ish.
@sab_10 You can do it! Just take it one step at a time. You'll be done before you know it. Good Luck!
Thank you that helped
@MoohanTheGreat You're Welcome! We're glad you found our video useful.
every summer were it actually gets hot i like to vacuum out both coils an the whole chassis ect to keep it brand newish
@joshua ferguson Wise advice. Thank you!
Life saver!
@Quantiples Glad to hear it!
Great video my friend, thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you
@M Teye You're welcome!
Hi. Great video. Tks. My problem is I bought a brand new window unit, and when the compressor comes on.. It radles and the vibration is so LOUD! I can hardly hear myself think, let alone cary on a conversation
I have to have my TV up so loud. I can send you a video if you like.
Tks in advance. Dawn
@Dawn Harman My first thought is: If it is new, return it. If you can swap it out of another one, you'll be better off. If that's not an option... We can probably rule out "a bad compressor" since it's new. So, maybe first check to make sure the unit is secured well and fairly level. It should tilt downward slightly to allow water to run out of the window, but the angle should not be too extreme. If that seems okay and there is still a rattle, there may be something loose inside or perhaps something shifted in shipment to the store. If you feel comfortable, I would suggest following the same procedure that I did in this video. Take out the unit. Open it up. Then, carefully, run a test to see if you can isolate the problem. It could be a pad part, but it might just require the tightening of a screw or the shifting of a component. It's hard to say until you get inside.
Same situation. Amazon won’t take it back bc over 30 days. I’ll be trying tomorrow.
@pamelaholden9576 Best of luck!
Thanks ☺️
@Armando Rosete You're Welcome!
Can you make any more hack like videos? Not like the viral ones with fake hacks. But can you do videos for all of us who have not properly learned to do "adult -ing," like stuff. How to clean light fixtures. How to get rid of calcium build ups on toilets, or faucets. How to coupon properly. How to mend clothes or socks. How to fix buttons. Mainly some "guy," or "girl," stuff too. Like shaving tips.. best ways to clean..how to get quality clothing staples cheap.. idk everything.
Just don't worry about views..and pump out videos twice a week.
So many of us have not had opportunities to learn things. Either our parents said, "don't ask about our finances!," or anytime we did chores, we get yelled at for doing it wrong, but never taught the, "right," way
@Clooz Thanks for your suggestions!
my old kenmore through the wall air conditioner still works great but vibrates and is so noisy...i have tried using some tape ..the vents seem to rattle and so do the front cover slats...when i press my hand on it its much better but i cant stand there forever lol..i even bought this giant clamp thing to squeeze it top to bottom and it helps..but not quite the cure at this point...dont know if there is a way to muffle it better...its old but you know these old appliances work great and you buy a new one and it craps out in a couple years...i dont want to take the chance yet...any ideas?
@Judith Wilber A rattle could be caused by something out of alignment. Perhaps something has shifted inside. A fan could be hitting. There could be wobble in the motor caused by a loose mount or a bad bearing. The only way to really know is to open it up and check it out. Just be careful if you do that. It's easy to get injured or shocked if you touch the wrong thing. I don't want to tell anybody anything that's going to get them hurt. If you feel comfortable investigating, you can unmount the AC, take off the housing cover, plug it in & turn it on, and listen for the noise. You may be able to pinpoint the cause. Often, it is a simple fix. If you give it a try, let me know what you find. Good luck!
Kool haircut😁😁😁😁😁
😁
OMFG I liked simply because of your hair. That and it's actually an awesome video
Thanks. I'm glad you liked the video!
Ever Expanding Life luckily I got away with just the paper towel trick/tip/hack. But this was great info for later just in case
I've had mine for about two months and it just started making a very loud buzzing noise if I set it on cool and won't blow any cold air. It stays quiet if it's set on just normal fan.
@360whiplash Hmmm... Well, it definitely sounds like there is a problem with your fan. I'd open up the AC & test to see if current is getting to the fan. If it is not, the problem is probably in the capacitor or control panel. If current is getting to the fan, but the fan motor is not engaging, then your fan motor is probably shot. As for the buzzing, it is probably the compressor engaging or trying to engage. The capacitor is the most likely thing to go up. If your capacitor is bad, your compressor will try to engage, but it won't be able to & will create a loud buzzing sound. You may find that a bad capacitor is causing all of your trouble & they are easy to replace. So maybe start there. Be sure to discharge your capacitor before messing with it or you could get shocked.
Its probaly the compressor if it makes sound only on cool mode not the fan
Super!
@borysandreyev9717 Thanks!
Awesome work! This definitely was the case for me. Thank you!
You're welcome! Glad it helped!
I have a haier just like the one in your video it comes on fine but makes a loud buzzing noise after it stops running or reached the desired temperature set but the noise is coming from the compressor and won’t stop unless you unplug it the plug it back in the wall. What can I do to fix it.
Your compressor might be going bad or it might just be the capacitor. Try testing or replacing the capacitor. It's a fairly cheap part and it might do the trick.
thank you very much bro ...
You're Welcome!
I hope this is the problem I'll do it Lil more later on the day mine started acting funny making a weird noise and it's drippin into my house I don't understand because I literally cleaned it like month ago really hope this is just the cause and I'm thinking to add my own drain hole for the water to drain out somewhere instead onto my window ledge oh and I forgot it's also spitting ice out too
@Michael Psycho Try making sure the back of the unit is a little bit lower than the front. That should stop the water from running into the house.
@@everexpandinglife okay imma definitely make sure while I was cleaning the unit something came off of the Cooper its like a black molding thing right next to the refrigeration equipment black thing it was a small tube of Cooper I tried to put it back on but the black molding it all crumbled and wouldn't stay how it came off due to water I was deep cleaning it to get all the mold out also got my drill and made a small hole carefully and made a drainage for it
@Michael Psycho Just so long as the copper system itself isn't damaged, you should be ok. Try to determine what the piece of black molding was doing. Was it a spacer or a cushion of some sort? If it's function was essential, perhaps you can replace it with something else.
Do you know if the control panel comes apart easily? A couple of my LEDs have burnt out
@Noah Decoteau I haven't had to do that, but I wouldn't think it would be too hard. If you pop out the circuit board, you'll find the LED soldered to the board in two spots. You can order a new led, but you have to be careful because it only goes in in one direction. The longer leg of the led is the positive. The shorter leg is the ground. My bigger concern would be: What caused the led to blow in the first place? You could replace the led only to have it blow again if the cause of the blow is not fixed.
@@everexpandinglife great advice. I just noticed that one of the LEDs that was out is now back on but very dim. I'll definitely have to look into the bigger issues that could cause that
@@noahdecoteau6381 the one my Husband has lost the LED also. We think condensation got in the panel . It runs fine as he can use the controller. Best of luck.
mine makes that high pitch sound dunno if its the vents, filters or something else that needs fixin or cleaning
@Joseph Francis Swift You're probably going to have to open it up to find out. Just be careful of moving parts and hot wires. A quick test should draw your ear directly to the problem.
I have the same one! Water has been coming out of the fan area and the bottom left hand corner, I put it in a slop and it's still doing it, and also put a cloth on the outside to hopefully drain it, but that's not working either, any idea of what's wrong?
Also, the fan just made the same noise as yours, I want to fix that but need to know about the water issues in the fan.
@Carmen Fox It is normal for water to gather in the bottom tray of the AC. However, there are three things to look at to make sure it is functioning properly. 1) Make sure that the AC is tilted slightly down hill towards the outside. 2) Make sure that the drain hole on the outside bottom of the AC is not clogged so the water can drain. 3) Make sure that the drain hole is through the wall/window enough to drain outside, not inside. With all of those things set properly, the water problem should be solved. Now... in this video I deal with a misaligned fan causing the noise problem. However, I am currently editing a new video that I will upload soon that addresses a noise issue caused by a bad bearing. So, if this video doesn't help you, the next one might. Subscribe so you're alerted when I post the new video. Hope this info helps. Feel free to ask more questions if needed. Good Luck!
Yeah, pretty much a do-it-yourself guy. Its tilted, there is no drain hole on the Haier ac model you and I have, same one. Just water coming out the front vent, where the fan and styrofoam is
@Carmen Fox OK. So the big questions are: "Is there water accumulating in the bottom of your AC?" and "Is that the problem?" If the answer to both of those questions is "Yes", then you might consider taking out your AC, removing the cover so you can see what you are doing & drilling a drain hole in the bottom, in a spot that will clear the wall/window & will not hit any components. That would give your AC an opportunity to drain. However, my big concern is that you may have a leak in your system. There could be a hole in the copper tubing of one of the radiators or somewhere else along the line. In which case, it may be unfixable. Take out the AC, uncover it & (being very careful not to touch any moving parts or internal wires) plug in the unit & turn it on. Examine the system, looking for the source of any leak. Good luck!
Thanks.
You're Welcome!
0:05 that sound like my moms car engine is shaking
@Mauricio Guevara Lol. Pretty much.
@@everexpandinglife It make noise when engine starts
@Mauricio Guevara Well, the problem with the AC was that the fan was hitting the shroud. I suppose your mom's car could have a similar problem. Have you tried to pinpoint the source of the noise?
Thanks man, me & wife trying to sleep at night, she say just turn it off
@davraydumas8637 You're welcome. Good luck with your repair!
@everexpandinglife ah man I was scared to do what you were doing , but I grew a pair & went out on the porch & water holes & clean it up , now runs like new!!!!
@davraydumas8637 Fantastic!!! Glad everything was a success!
Been having the same fan for years and it always starts to have problems in the middle of a hot summer in Texas🤦♂️
@Dwayne Mondragon Can't have that, now, can we? Well, hopefull our video proved useful to you. Let us know how it goes.
Dear , is this A/c 500 watt
@Fareed Nooralla It is 560 watts.
Why does my AC make random noises while it's off? Every other night I hear it powering up as if it's running through some kind of self diagnostic cycle or something. I'm not sure if I should turn it off at the mains during winter or if this is a necessary thing it's meant to do as part of maintenance?
@ArcanePath360 Some AC/Heater units have a safety. If the ambient temperature gets below a certain point, the heater will automatically kick on. If there is no heater, then that's not going to be a factor. Maybe double check all of your settings to make sure nothing is set to "auto". Otherwise, it may be a malfunction and turning it off at the mains would be a good safety precaution.
@@everexpandinglife There is a heater, it's something that only lasts a few seconds at a time. It sounds like a pump is kicking in, something powers up, whirls for a bit (I think it's coming from the outside compressor) and then it shuts off again.
@arcanepath360 The compressor is used for both heating and cooling. If you are running the heater, you can expect it to kick on sometimes. But, even if everything is off, the heater will turn on if the air temperature gets too low. Otherwise, I'm not sure why the compressor would kick on for no reason. I once had a unit with a bad compressor and its pump would try to kick on for a few seconds and then fail. Then it would try again later and fail again. But I was actively trying to use the unit. It was not set to off. I had to replace the whole unit, since a compressor repair is beyond my abilities. However, it your AC & Heater function normally when used, your compressor is probably good. I suppose there could be some other problem in the system, like a leak or a control panel issue.
@@everexpandinglife Thanks. I was thinking it's like a diagnostic thing, it comes on for a few seconds, has a pulsing like pattern which always sounds the same, then a longer pause, and then off. No fan is on, it's just a barely audible low frequency hum. I'm wondering if turning it off at the mains might do more harm than good, if this is some kind of way it relieves pressure or something in extreme cold. I've not turned it on in months.
@Arcanepath360 It sounds like your compressor is trying to come on, but can't. It could be a bad capacitor. If neither the heat nor AC work and the compressor tries to come on, but can't... it is usually a bad capacitor. The capacitor is what allows the unit to build up enough current to power the compressor. 9 times out of 10, if something goes wrong with one of my units, it is that. The good news is that capacitors are real easy to change.
My window AC has a loud compressor. It's like a buzzing sound any easy fix tips?
There are a lot of causes for a loud compressor. So, how easy the fix is depends on the cause. Here is a website that breaks down possible causes based on the sound the compressor is making. Hopefully you'll find this helpful: www.rossandwitmer.com/ac-compressor-noise-when-you-should-worry/
How do I get the cover with the vents off? I've unscrewed it and it won't come off
@Racquel Daigle If you got out all of the screws, it should just pop off. Give it a really good look over. Check all sides, including the bottom and inside the filter cover. Make sure all screws are out. Then go around prying gently. It could have some retaining clips or plastic tabs that need to be released.
@@everexpandinglife I unscrewed every screw I could see. Even the ones on the top cover. I'm scared if I keep pulling the plastic will snap. I can slide it up and down a bit. I can pull the part over the coils forward, but the part with the actual vents won't come off
@@everexpandinglife my unit looks almost exactly like yours except the vents are split instead of one long one
@@everexpandinglife it was retaining clips. Thank you ❤
@Racquel Daigle You're Welcome! Glad to help. Great job on figuring it out!
The fan is quiet on mines, it starts to make a loud humming noise when the AC kicks in.
🤔
@mujahidin Your compressor may be bad.
Are you in miami i need someone to fix mine
@Michaelle Ulysse LOL. Nope. Sorry.
My air conditioned it’s was not making that noise it just makes a little noise in not getting cold
Do you hear the compressor kicking in?
I have the same exact one. I have a problem with mine. When I plug it in the compressor automatically starts. And when I turn it on it already starts giving off cold air even without putting it on cool while it’s on fan. After leaving it on for a while it then starts icing up, even while it’s on fan.
@Michael Castro It sounds like you may have a Freon issue.
You might be low on Freon or have a leak, causing the Freon to over expand. Take a look at the following article, it may give you some insight into your problem:
www.lindstromair.com/articles/4-reasons-your-air-conditioner-is-freezing/
What if it's hissing when its not plugged in I was taking out my ac and I moved it and it started making abjoise like a flat tire realseing air and its not plugged in or on
@Scooby-doo That sounds like you have a hole in your pressurized refrigeration system and the refrigerant is leaking out... Maybe a hole in the copper tubing, the evaporator, the condenser or the compresser. Either way, it is not good. Unless you are skilled in those type of repairs, I don't reccommend attempting to repair it yourself and I doubt it would be worth it to pay someone else to fix it. You may need to buy a new one.
That's probably all that was wrong with the one I trashed last year
Well, maybe this will help next time. Better late than never!
Is that mold bad?
@Ben McDevitt Mold is never good. It is always better to clean out the mold. In retrospect, I should have cleaned the unit while I had it open. Next time I open it up, I will.
@@everexpandinglife thanks, I was asking because I have to take mine apart and clean them every year however I noticed allot of peoples houses I go to I can see the mold and no one seems to care. No one I could see here mentioned it and you didn't clean it so I was wondering if it was just some kind of mold that wasn't harmful to us.
@Ben McDevitt Honestly, I was so focused on fixing the noise issue, that it didn't even cross my mind to deal with the mold untill after the fact. Now I wish I had cleaned it while I had it open. I'll be taking the unit out & cleaning it this year before I begin using it for the season. I don't like the idea of all that air blowing mold spores into the air I am breathing. I guess some mold is worse than others, but I'm not sure what type it is and I don't want to risk breathing any of it. I think you are doing the right thing cleaning yours every year. If mine wasn't mounted through the wall, I'd clean it more regularly too!
@Ben McDevitt We just cleaned to mold out of the AC. Here's the video if you want to take a look. ruclips.net/video/tFMWCANXwqs/видео.html
Ever Expanding Life awesome!!! Wohoooo
I have an air conditioner that’s making a weird noise and I don’t know what it is and it’s smells bad
@ Jesus Garcia The smell is likely caused by a mold build up inside the A/C. I recommend cleaning it out.
See our step by step video on how to do it:
ruclips.net/video/tFMWCANXwqs/видео.html While you have the unit open, you can chase down the weird noise.
Mine was squeaking pretty bad a couple months ago but on its own it stopped. Than it started up again the other day but was a much louder annoying squeaking squealing sound. Cold air and motor and everything was working fine. Just nosey. Than it all shut off by itself. The squealing stopped but it was a weird noise like something was missing.
My 1st guess is a belt or something. Is it worth fixing or just finding a used one on fb for $60?
I'm shocked that it's lasted since I bought it in 2003...🤣🤣. It's only a small 5,000 btu unit.
Anyone got any thoughts?
@Rome Rome My first thought is that maybe a blower fan has come loose. If you feel comfortable doing so, my recommendation is to open the unit and look around inside for any obvious issues. Let me know what you find and perhaps I can advise some next steps.
I wish mine was as simple as yours but, the bearings are starting to go.
Sorry to hear that.
Where did you buy the bearing?
I did not have to replace any bearings in this project. The issue with this A/C was solved by simply shifting the position of the fan.
i have hthe same problem with my air conditioner bro
@vuong dinh Yeah. They don't make them to last. But we can definitely make them live longer if we are willing to do the work. I hope you can fix your problem. Feel free to ask me any questions as you progress. If I have any insights I will be glad to share them.
@@everexpandinglife thank bro , i will do
How do you stop this annoying beeping sound
Here is a website that may help you to diagnose your problem:
www.evamcanada.com/blog/diy-air-conditioning/diagnosing-air-conditioner-beeping-noise/
Hope this helps!
nice job. but bro, you gotta at least wipe it down or hit it with some compressed air or something 😂
@Luis Ramirez Already did: ruclips.net/video/tFMWCANXwqs/видео.html
My air conditioner sounds like a freaking cicada.
@TheSpookyBoi lol!
Mine sounds like vacuum / small generator idk why it’s making that noise, imma see if I can fix it tomorrow
My guess would be that you probably have a similar problem to ours: Your fan is probably rubbing, creating noise. Open it up and check the fan placement. It may need to be adjusted on the shaft.
I have haier ac in india
Good video~
@Ken Ko Thanks!
I wish I have watched your video a year ago so that I wouldnt' have to throw away an old AC in the sunroom. That is $500 mistake.
@Jun Fu At least you will know next time :) Thanks for the feedback.
Does not answer my question, my portable air conditioner is making a loud grinding noise
@Steven Stover The first thing is to track down the noise. Open it up. Plug it in. Keep you hands back from all moving parts and open electric. Turn it on and listen. You should be able to pinpoint exactly where the noise is coming from.
@@everexpandinglife the noise is coming from the fan motor not the caged
@Steven Stover Then you probably need to replace the bearings.
See our video that shows how to do this.

I just bought a new one and am waiting for delivery. ... Stupid me. ... Sounds exactly like the fan motor bearing out of alignment, just like this one.
Well, maybe you can fix the old one and have a spare... just in case.
I just got a new one for 200 and it’s making a noise
@Dapro Well, I'd return it to the store & exchange it for a new one if they'd let me. Otherwise, I'd take the cover off and look for anything askew or out of place. Something could have happened during shipping. Maybe it was dropped or something and the inner housing shifted. If you are real careful not to touch any electrical components, you could plug it in & turn it on with the cover off and look for the culprit. Good Luck!
Mine is not turning on it shows E1 on screen
@ carlitos ducoing If you Google E1, along with the make and model of your unit, you should be able to find out exactly what's wrong.
@@everexpandinglife i will nice video thanks
@carlitos ducoing Thanks! Once you figure out the error code, feel free to hit me up if you have questions. Can't promise I'll have an answer, but if I have any insights, I'll be glad to share.

You missed an opportunity to clean it while it was open, and increase efficiency.
