Air conditioner makes weird clanking sound

This a/c is 3 yrs old. It works fine, but it makes a clanking sound every couple of seconds. Filter is cleaned when ever reset l.e.d. comes on. It has proper installation and proper pitch. Anyone have any ideas as to what's making the noise? p.s. To get the best cooling, what position should the vent be in...lever in, lever out half way, or lever out all the way??

SOURCE: hums and freezes up????

The fan motor must have been stopping. If the fan stops, for sure the fins will freeze because there is no air flowing. common Fan motor problems defective bearing or bushing and starting condenser. If the bearing is defective, it will heat up and seize. Have the fan motor checked. The fact that the fins are freezing, means that there is enough freon and the compressor is working.

SOURCE: Frigidaire air conditioner - no cool air coming out.

if you used it alot, i would check it for freon.
checkthe air filter, make sure it's not dirty.
check the front panel, make sure there's no "ice/frost" in the unit.

SOURCE: Air conditioner isn't blowing cold!

You will need the condenser coils repaired before you can charge it. These come from the factory sealed and they should not ever need a charge unless you have a leak. The hissing sound is more likely air in the system being pumped by the comressor and it is coming out a hole in the coils.

    SOURCE: frigidaire in wall air conditioner making noise fan/ motor?

    Is it a clicking or banging sound? The fan is most likely not kicking up the moisture to cool the evap coil off enough in the unit so you might here more noise for a little while. Monitor it and let me know if anything changes.

    I use my kenmore single room air conditioner all night, in the morning the coils are all froze up? is that normal? The fan is working & I hear the compressor working. Maybe something is going out? it's...

    Please check the filter. The filter is located behind the front grill. If there is a lot of dust & dirt on the filter, it will reduce the airflow over the coil significantly - causing freeze ups. A filter that is missing will require a thorough cleaning of the coils to remove the dust and dirt, then installing a replacement filter. There are products sold at hardware stores, home improvement centers, etc. designed specifically to clean these coils easily. You should be able to get a replacement filter for the AC from Sears.

    If the filter is present and clean - there could be a problem with the refrigerant charge, or other problem. Many times, an AC units of this small size, it is cheaper to buy new than invest in repairing a 3 year old unit.

    Please rate this reply if helpful - good luck!

    Furnace unit to be louder now than last season

    Check your air filter, make sure all registers are open full and there is no restriction in all ducts. Could be an unbalanced fan, clean the squirll cage fan with a brush and vacuum.

    Air conditioner blows warm air

    Try to check its air filter for dust or check its evaporator for accumulated dirt and its exchanger first. Or if this is an old set try to check if it is not set to heater mode.
