Re: A/C Whispering Sound

It appears to cool down perfectly, yes. Turning up the fans is the only way to hide the growing noise, although even on Auto 1 settings, it was never too loud. Just wanted to test the waters and see if I could pull it off on my own, so I uploaded the video. It was a peaceful system before, but now I ...

Re: A/C Whispering Sound

Help needed with OM651 intermittent stutter, smoke, and clicking noise
