The bummer is that this is a 4 year old house,


and we're not the first

owner. My sister's Lennox lasted 30 years.



Aren't the parts still under warranty?
These HVAC guys trash the Goodman units and they
warranty thier parts for 5 years.


Kathy-thanks for the relevant question. Unfortunately, we checked and
it's about 3 months past warranty (5 years), but I'll call the prior
service company today, and perhaps I can get a break.

I talked to the HVAC shop owner this am, and he reviewed everything,
felt it was the condenser fan for certain, and that there was probably
no damage to the valve. He has the serial# of the unit, and will check
and see if anything is under warranty. He will be out tomorrow
afternoon, and I have confidence that he will be fair, and get it fixed.
I only hope it's noisy when he's here, but will replace the fan anyhow
at the least.

Thanks to everyone for your help. I'll let you know how it turns out.
