It sounds like the bearings are going bad on the motor. Does it make the same sound when it is running?

What could be causing loud grinding noise when i switch on aircon? Aircon now not working but only makes loud sound.

Sounds like the bearing or part of the clutch in the A/C compressor has failed, or possibly component on a/c fouling on something due to recent repairs however would be unlikely and probably just a coincidence..

Check A/C compressor turns by hand, should be firm but not make any noises.

Check for fouling components related to a/c compressor clutch.

Air conditioner makes noises after it starts

I do not think that the battery change and the noise for the a/c is related, probably just a coincidence.

If the a/c makes a loud noise when it is turned up, I would try switching to vent to see if the noise is still there. If it is, then it is the ventilation fan likely located on the firewall or under the dash under some plastic paneling.

There is no reset button for the a/c.

Good luck on this repair.

Adjust resonance screw makes loud noise on start up

I'm not sure what you mean "adjust resonance screw". I'm going to guess the adjustment screw your talking about is under at screw cover and is the appliance regulator screw. It adjust the gas input to your burners. Too low pressure is caused by backing the screw off and can result in delayed ignition or a "loud noise". It's really a small explosion caused by built up gas and damage your heater. Too high of pressure is caused by turning the screw in too far and can over-fire the heater which is also dangerous. I'm assuming you burn natural gas because with propane the appliance regulator is wide open. Your gas company may come and use a manometer to set the manifold pressure to factory settings (3.5 to 4.0 W.C.) for you. Otherwise, turn the screw back in until the ignition is not delayed and the loud noise is replaced by a nice quick ignition. Good luck.

Loud repeating noise until the water trigger is pressed

Check the pressure washer for leaks. That sound is probably the unloader valve recycling as the machine slowly looses pressure and needs to build it up again to max pressure.

Whirlpool dishwasher makes a loud notise then

The spray arms do sometimes wear and need replacenent, and are available fron spares centres.
The loud noise is probably the water pressure pushing it off at an angle, and instead of rotating, water will just escape out one side - so your dishes will not get clean untill it is replaced.

Loud "Glonk" when humidifier turns off

Try turning the water valve going to the soleniod down. There may be too much pressure. You may have to replace solenoid one more time after making the adjustment.
