A GUY JUST CAME OUT AND SAID THE COMPRESSOR WA BAD, WHICH I THOUGHT THE SAME CAUSE IT IS MAKING A RATTLING NOISE. BUT, HE SAID I MIGHT AS WELL REPLACE THE WHOLE UNIT RATHER THAN JUST THE COMPRESSOR CAUSE THERE IS ONLY ABOUT A $400-600 DIFFERENCE
You have 10 seer 4 ton unit. A compressor install in my company (4 ton) is about 1400 dollars. Remember when you change compressor you only get a 1 year warranty. A new unit can have as much as 10 year compressor warranty. Amana has a 10 year parts and labor with their unit. The new unit will be 13 seer and you may have to install a TXV inside. You might think about changing the whole system with the new 410A system. Either way a new condensing unit is needed. I have not had anyone just change a compressor in an older unit. Just not cost effective. Get several estimates before you make up your mind. Rus

I have a 10 inch Sear outdoor RUUD Thermopump. The coils are collecting frost, I hear it making some knocking noise for just a short period of time until it stops and starts running normally. It stop before I could get out to realize the source of the noise. Any suggestions until I get a service maintenance on this unit? The house is being heated.
