Squeaky air conditioner
We have a small Amana AC in the window, and it has begun to squeak. The
squeak reminds me of a bad belt in the car; it is not too fast, and it comes and goes. It squeaks whether or not the condenser is running, and it speeds up/slows down with the fan. Can anyone diagnose? Thanks. BC |

You can check the price at www.repairclinic.com but it may be just as cheap to buy a new unit. Some can be lubricated, most cannot. If you can buy the motor cheap and do the work yourself, go for it. If you must pay to have it serviced, probably not with the expense. |
