My air conditioner works (well, it blows out cool air...), but it is really loud and the case gets hot. This problem just cropped up a few days ago. It is loud only when the AC is on; the fan works fine.
Fixed it: the trim was loose on the upper left hand side of the unit (near the control panel). I put a clamp on it, and it runs nice and quiet now :-) Fixed it: the trim was loose on the upper left hand side of the unit (near the control panel).

I managed to make the noise go away by tightening down a loose piece of trim. It worked fine for about 12 hours, but then all of a sudden it stopped cooling. The compressor won't kick in at all, even if I set the temperature really low. It made a "click, hum" noise like it was trying to start, but it never did.

The compressor sounds like the springs inside are bad. You can live with this are get the compresor eplaced if it is over five years old buy a new unit. Compressor will cost more than a new unit. Russ

Hi, when you are running it in the cooling mode, leave the exhaust open to remove the condenser hot air. If you want to run just the fan to circulate the air you can close it. Sincerely, Shastalaker7 A/C, Heating, & Refrigeration Contractor
If this is a window unit it has to tilt a little to the back(outside) for the water to drain off the bottom back side. I am suspecting the unit is setting tilted toward the room a little. Look at that first. Hope I was of help to you!! Good luck!!
Try setting the Unit to run full out, set unit at 66* it maybe the lights flash to let you know the save ( power) is on ?. Otherwise look for the manual and troubleshooter page .
Does it run longer when it's cooler outside like at night? If it is, it could be shutting down on high pressure or temperature caused by dirty condenser or you could have an overload in the compressor wire box that is weak or has a loose connection. Check the condensor coil to see if its dirty and see if it has an overload on the compressor.
Yes, the reversing valve has a separate coil. some energize on cool mode, some on heat mode. Has the thermostat been replaced? I find this a common mistake.
