We have the above, a wall mounted unit. This started a while ago, seems when the compressor comes on, , you kick the temps down it starts this racket, then stops ...like noisy vibration...clanging.. like a fan nicking a piece of metal...hope that helps Today it tripped shut off at wall plug.. for the first time. We have a 230 volt 6 NEMA -20R outlet
UPDATE: not the fan..obviously...it has a plug GFCI..when I reset that, it turns ON...runs...then I guess the compressor kicks in to cool, keep proper temp setting ?...then you hear a sound like BBs in a can..rackety vibration noise...which it has been doing for while. It just started shutting off when this rackety noise starts
OK ..did a search of this forum, seems one other member had this..some sort of internal compressor spring....is it worth buying a new $400 compressor...? will it need a recharge...?
