Normal operating sounds
When your air conditioner is operating normally, you may
hear such sounds as:
l
Droplets of water hitting the condenser, causing a “pinging”
or “clicking” sound. The water droplets help cool the
condenser.
l
Air movement from the fan.
l
Clicks from the thermostat cycling on and off.
l
Vibrations or noise due to poor wall or window
construction.
l
A high pitched hum or pulsating noise caused by the
modern high efficiency compressor cycling on and off.
Repairing paint damage
Check once or twice a year for paint damage. This may
occur, especially in salty environments (near oceans, etc.)
or where rust is a problem. If needed, touch up with a good
grade enamel paint.
NOTE: To reduce paint damage during the winter, install a
heavy-duty cover on your air conditioner’s cabinet. For
information on ordering a heavy-duty cover see page 26.
