HISTORY: BASEMENT AC WORKED NORMAL ON A MONTH TRIP IN MAY THIS YEAR. NO USE UNTIL EXERCISED 8 8 2012 WHEN PROBLEM SUDDENLY STARTED.
1. operating on board generator, works fine 2. turn on basement ac 3. compressor activates 4. inside vibration feels and sounds like gen. is missing on one cylinder. ac cooling feels normal 5. go outside, gen sounds fine, bottom pan of AC housing strongly vibrating 6. turn off AC vibration stops.
MY NOT SURE DIAGNOSIS: SINCE THE AC SEEMS TO BE COOLING NORMALLY ON A 94F DEGREE DAY EVEN THOUGH IT SOUNDS BAD, THE VIBRATION SOUNDS AND FEELS AS IF THE COMPRESSOR MOUNTS SUDDENLY COLLAPSED AND THE COMPRESSOR IS VIBRATING DIRECTLY ON TO THE AC HOUSING.
HAS ANY ONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM? WHAT WAS THE SOLUTION? WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE TO GET THE AC UNIT OUT FOR ACCESS TO THE BAD PARTS? DOES ANY ONE KNOW OF A CHEAPER SOURCE OF PARTS OTHER THAN THE DEALER?
THANKS
