Central ac unit making knocking noise
My ac unit seems to suddenly be making a knocking noise when the unit is on. It does not make noise when system is off. I thought it might be the fan, but it continues to make noise
While the cooling system runs without the fan. I can hear the knocking on the Payne AC metal box in my attic which contains the unit. I would appreciate any info you may have. Should I leave the AC off until we can get a service man out. Thanks. |

There is usually only one moving part in a indoor airhandler that will cause a noise like you describe. That noise is probably from the fan. It could be a bad motor mount assembly,loose cage fan assembly,or the motor itself. It is always safer to turn the unit off to prevent any additional damage. Without being there it is hard to tell just how bad the noise is so I mentioned to turn it off just to be safe.

I'm getting cold air just fine -- but sometimes it makes a sound like somebody's knocking on the side of the house for about 15-20 seconds prior to startup:confused: I initially thought it was the fan hitting something... but the fan isn't even running when the noise is occurring?
I am hearing loud knocking noises inside the air handler unit of my central air/heat unit located in my attic. This knocking is intermittent and I have only heard it while the unit is not running. I did not notice the noise until the winter and I started using the heat. Any ideas of what this...
I came home today to find that the inside part of the furnace/central air is making a loud knocking noise. It seems to be working fine, but is very loud. Any ideas? Thanks
