Phil, many of Sear's A/C's are Whirlpool's and many of them do have oil
tubes, one on each end of the motor. You don't need to take the unit apart
to see them, look through the slots in the cabinet. Usually these are short
clear plastic tubes with yellow plastic caps. Most motor oils will do but I
prefer 3-In-1 Oil. These motors have sleeve type bearings and a thick felt
washer, you need to use enough to saturate the washer, 3-In-1 is a nice
light oil and should fill the felt washers quickly, make sure you at least
10-12 drops to go down each tube. This will usually take care of your
problem and if you continue to oil it every year before using it it just
could last for years more.

Hi:

I have a Kenmore A/C window unit 12,000 BTU about 9 years old.
In the past few days it has started to make a occasional squealing
noise. I'm guessing it's the fan, is there anything I can do to
silence the thing?
