Haier commercial cool portable ac unit makes super high pitch noise on all settings & returning it for repair is not an option what troubleshooting steps can I take? Ac blows cool & fan runs at all 3 speeds. Sound is highest pitched & loudest at lowest speed If you smack the side of the case a few times the high pitch sound sometimes temporarily stops but only for a minute or so. What can I do?

It may be the bearings in the motor are dry or out. You coulod pull the motor and fan assembly out and check its operation while it is out of the heater case. Look for anything inside the heater cavity where the motor sits for any problem hindering motor operation.

SOURCE: AC fan doesn't work

Alright when it only works on high speed, then usually the resistor between the controls and the blower motor is bad because the default if on is at high speed so I would replace that first since it is much cheaper than replacing the blower, then if the blower is still making a bad noise, it is wearing out and needs to be replaced too. Both of these parts are under the dash on the passenger side. If you want a diagram, then I advise buying a Chilton or a Haynes manual from a local auto parts store especially if you plan on fixing it yourself. Let me know if you have any further questions.

SOURCE: 2002 Honda Odyssey fan only works at high speed. The A/C compress

Usually when the blower fan only operates on hi speed, its because of a failed blower motor resistor. You still have hi speed because on hi, the power going to the blower motor goes directly to it, as opposed to the lower speeds, when the power is routed through the resistor, thus lowering the voltage, which in turn lowers the speed of the fan. The resistor is usually located near the blower motor itself, under the hood back near the firewall.

SOURCE: The Heater/AC fan runs all the time on a high

The blower resistor will keep it from working on anything but high

SOURCE: 2001 New Beetle A/C fan noise

I think it is the cabin/ pollen filter. The noise is louder on normal AC operation cos thats when the air is being pulled in through the filter and the sound decreases with recirculate because the filter only functions for outside air.
Need to use a credit card or similar to seperate and move the upper dash centre piece towards windscreen, it clips off. Then open the 3 x torx screws and lift the dash on the passenger side. then remove the plastic cover (oddly shaped) it has about 7 screws, then twist and remove, it requires some real effort, then pollen filter is visible. replace filter and voila! it would make your AC perform like a new car again!!
Hope it helps, Yusuf Johannesburg-South Africa [email protected]

My Explorer is demonstrating a high pitch noise and feels like the engine is racing with acceleration, but no check engines lights are on

I really need the year but here is what might be the cause, the engine cooling fan clutch may be defective, if it locks up you will hear a roaring noise that gets louder as the engine speed increases. Open The hood and rev up the engine does the fan make allot of noise, like an airplane propeller?

i dont know if you have a cabin air filter if you do replace it if its real dirty. most cars ac will have this problem if the ac is low on freon. when you check the freon. make sure the ac is on max ac, at its coldest setting with the fan on max. with the engine running check ac pressure. have someone hit the gas a little & see if the pressure drops. add as needed. most gauges from the parts store have a dial on the front. point it at outside temp & make sure pressure is the max for that range.

There is a squeal sound (high pitch) coming out of

The seal on the AC compressor has probably failed and allowed all the refrigerant and lubricant to be lost. This allows the bearing to run dry and now it is failing and making noise.

1. You could have the AC repaired, the compressor repaired or replaced and the system refilled.

2. You could have a mechanic disconnect the system and possibly remove the compressor (only if this model does not use a belt that relies on the compressor being in place).

3. It is probably way too late to try to refill the AC system with R134a refrigerant as it would just run out past the failed seals.

If anyone has an AC unit that just recently stopped making cold air they should attempt to recharge the unit (if it uses R134a - check your manual or underhood stickers). I just did and saved my compressor and AC unit from further damage.

High pitch whistling noise in engine compartment of 2005 envoy

There may be a small hole or cut in a vacum line or possibly just loose. Also make sure the air filter box and the big hose to it are secure and clamps etc are tight. Pulleys and belts can make a high pitch sound also.
