Buzzing or humming

Often a failing capacitor or contactor, or a fan motor struggling to start.

Grinding or screeching

Worn motor bearings in the outdoor fan or indoor blower.

Rattling

Loose panels, debris in the outdoor unit, or a loose fan blade.

Banging or clanking

A loose part inside the compressor or a broken fan blade. Turn the system off.
