Hey guys, to start, I'm no expert but I worked with the HVAC guy to install most of the system in my house. This morning, I noticed that my air was blowing (the blower/evaporator was working correctly) but it was warm. I went outside and noticed the compressor was on at all. I did some basic searching and realized that the capacitor was bad and a fuse was tripped in my emergency shutoff. I replaced both and was up and running.
Shortly after while I was outside, I noticed a really loud sound coming from the compressor. I liken this sound to the normal sound the compressor makes just way louder and obnoxious. I wasn't a rattling lose sound etc. it was a loud, consistent droning sound, it happened for like 5 minutes then the compressor shut off (not because it hit the temperature either). It eventually kicked back on, sounded normal and worked fine for a few hours. At this point I thought everything was fine but it made the loud droning sound again and kicked off while the thermostat was still on and warm air was blowing. I turned it off for 2 hours and then turned it back on and is working fine. I assume it's going to make this noise again but I have no idea how/why it's happening, hoping the experts have an idea! Thanks guys.
