Last summer my a/c started making this grinding noise when it would run for a few hours. After talking with some HVAC people, they suggested I use a less-dense filter in my furnace (I had been using 3M Filtrete). I switched filters and didn't have a problem any more (it was near the end of the summer, though). All winter, my furnace ran perfectly, no noise. I turned my air on for the first time a few days ago, after about 20-24 hours, it started making the grinding noise again. The noise is coming from the furnace itself. I turned off the a/c and the noise stopped 30-60 seconds later.
I changed my furnace filter (which had a few small clumps of dust on it) and am trying to run my a/c again today. Any thoughts/suggestions on how to fix this problem? The noise is rather loud.
