whitefantasy 0 Report post Posted December 2, 2010 (edited) Haha sound like Fan grille have some place is lose out have to use double side tape to fixed the noise. It is same like my current 2hp system 1 outdoor units. Because my compressor rubber a bit lose so the vibration will Very strong to impact the metal body with the fixed fan speed very hot and heat to blow out the fan and make the fan grills become very noisy. Fan grille? Do you mean inside the condenser unit? So need to open up to check up the unit to check? How about the 2 videos on the sound which was generating everyday? Could it be manufacturer defects so that's why more noisy? Edited December 2, 2010 by whitefantasy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nope I mean you looks at in front compressor for fan blow out the grilles, It used pastic frame cover grilles, looks like net type that once make noise. Pastic cover gap to metal body frame and runing vibration will become noisy, Only can solve is use double side tape to paste at metal and pastic frame grills to be more fixed. It is will be no big gap and reduce the noise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some have Aircon leg maybe you still do by you own. Keep becareful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The compressor is like the link attached. http://www.coolserve.com.sg/htmdocs/produc...ils.asp?id=3051 Do you mean the grille got manufacturer defects that's why causing the unit to be noisy everyday while in operation?

Yes it is grille will be defects the noise when compressors before 15min to stop running it is have a very strong vibrations, Because just only the plastic frame it Is very lightweight is not the previous national model all are using metal grille. To compared metal frame more solid without noisy when the fan motors are running and getting heat to blow out fan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But it is new wow for outdoor unit quite tall and big for fan dB also very quite. Only can resolve is relocated your bed frame don't face the compressor area. It is will be help you as much. Because your bad facing now is same as my previous Aircon fir every night. Can't sleep as well suddenly wake up n hear the noisy. Can said the vibration until my wall also hear the whining humming sound. Normal has been used at 5-8 years the problem is same. So I change to inverter unit, I can said totally sovle no more facing the noisy sound again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even i relocated my bed also no use b'cos the whole room will be echo with the noise no matter which part of it coz my masterbedroom is concealed.

edenstrauss 3 Report post Posted December 3, 2010 (edited) My Fujitsu was silent many years ago when it was newly installed but after I started turning it on recently, it does have noise, probably coming from the huge blade fan. I was told that it requires servicing. Is that true? And will that get rid of the noise? It's more than 10 yrs already.
