Hum From Ac Compressor

[MAS]

Hi,

Wish everyone on AL a prosperous 2012 !

I get a hum from my AC compressor when the car warms up. It happens both when the AC clutch is engaged and disengaged. The sound will go away only if I switch off the AC. This started to happen a few weeks after all the 3 drive belts were changed. The belts have been rechecked and adjusted to the correct tension.

I really hope I do not need to replace the compressor.

Thanks in advance.

First of all go to a reputed A/C repair station, get them to remove and check bearings and A/C oil of the compressor.

Is it cooling OK?.

I doubt sounds comes from any "bearings". If it's, just a matter of changing the faulty one.

Yes, Sylvi. It is cooling ok. If you can, please let me know of a reputed AC repair/service place that will not break the bank :-). Thanks.

just like Sylvi said, it has to be the bearing or low on oil. i dont know whether its available in Sri Lanka but there are kits that you can charge oil with a can.

My advice for all members is not to go to this place. They are bloody expensive and their work is not any different from any roadside A/C repair joint. This is from personal experience.
