Question about Whirlpool ACQ158XP Wall/Window Air Conditioner

Thru the wall ac unit

The unit is making a whining, clattering sound, like something is loose. Could it be the fan? Could it be froze up? It almost sounds like the fan`s off- balance, sometimes it starts after a bit of whining and it sounds ok, then other times it sounds horrible, maybe like it`s stuck. Help, anyone? Thanks! Also, the mfg date is 2004, so it`s not that old.

Sounds like the fan shroud on the hot side has come loose, or something is rattling around inside. Looking through the exterior vents may reveal the trouble, but the unit will have to come out & have the cover removed for repair. You can try lifting the outside corners one at a time while the unit is running & see if the noise stops. If so, a shim wedged under that corner will hold you for the season.

Still making a sound after a cycle

That whining sound is most likely the small fan Toto has to "cool" the electronics. Very similar to a laptop PC fan. The fan will eventually go off, ~ 20 minutes. If you would like it to go off immediately, simply push the power button on the seat - off, and then again for on. Do this action while you are not sitting on the seat, otherwise the cycle will start again. :)

Why does my ceiling fan sounds like a clacking sound.Could a cluch be loose or something else.

Yes, that's very likely a dropped screw or something. I suggest you [get someone to] disassemble it and figure out what is causing the clatter before it does something really tacky.

Blower comes on then stops running

You may need to replace the fan motor but before you do check and make sure you don't have a loose wire going to the fan motor. You might be loosing power to the fan motor. Is the fan motor making noise before it stops. Chev are famous for having the bearing on the fan motor going out and the fan will clatter against the fan motor housing. If you need to change the motor just remove the wire to the motor and pull the beauty cover off then you can remove the holding screws and put your new motor in. Be sure to remove the battery cable to ensure you don't short something out during the process and burn the wiring.

Hello sir, hi, this requires that projector be checked, to fine the whining sound this requires disassembly, or have the unit checked for loose fan blades by a technician, and find that whining sound. If not replacing the bulb is useless, the bulb will always blow up.

Sounds like something in the engine "froze" or stuck Unhook the battery and try turning the engine with a wrench/rachet both ways. Check the timing belt, if broken the pistons will come up and hit the valves then stop everything from turning. Is one of the pullies stuck? Take off the serpentine belt and check all pullies to see if they turn.

I am not posotive, but it sounds like you may have a piece of debris stuck in the fan underneath. You can check if you pull it out from the wall, make sure you unplug it as to not have the fan come on while you are toying. But thats what it sounds like. If that is not it, I am sure you could locate the noise with it pulled out from the wall, and go from there, Possibly your compressor, but sounds like the fan the way you're explaining it. Good luck

Clattering sound, then smoke

the clattering sound was probably a stone or something that was being bounced around by the rotating bush. It jammed which caused the belt to slip and cause the smoke you saw. You can probably get away with finding and clearing the jam but I would inspect the belt just to make sure.
