Rattling, buzzing, clicking, grinding, hissing — each sound from your AC has a specific cause. A Samastipur technician decodes all of them.
Ek healthy AC practically silent hota hai — sirf ek soft hum jab compressor chal raha ho. Koi bhi extra sound ek warning signal hai. Yahan har sound type ka complete diagnosis hai.
Most common cause: small stones or cotton seed fluff from Samastipur's fields entering the outdoor unit and hitting the fan blade. Also loose panel screws vibrating at running speed. Fix: Clear debris, tighten screws, replace cracked blade. Cost ₹200–₹500.
A low electrical buzz louder than normal usually means a failing contactor relay, weak capacitor, or loose wire connection vibrating at 50Hz. Important: Buzzing that gets louder over time means the contactor will fail completely soon. Fix now before it becomes a no-start situation. Cost ₹300–₹900.
Normal: One click at startup, one at shutdown — relay switching. Completely normal. Abnormal: Repeated clicks every few seconds during operation = failing contactor or PCB relay. Fix: ₹400–₹1,200.
Metal grinding on metal = fan motor bearings running dry. In Samastipur's dusty environment bearing grease depletes faster. A grinding bearing will seize — converting a ₹700 bearing job into a ₹1,800 motor replacement. Switch off and call immediately. Cost ₹400–₹1,800.
A soft hiss near the indoor unit copper pipe connection = refrigerant escaping through a leak. Switch off at MCB immediately. Running with a gas leak causes compressor oil starvation and compressor damage worth ₹5,000–₹8,000. Fix: leak detection + repair + refill ₹1,200–₹2,600.
A loud bang or thump from the outdoor unit on startup = loose compressor mounting or internal compressor damage. Very high urgency — continued running risks complete compressor failure. Cost ₹800–₹8,000 depending on severity.
