A couple of weeks ago I replaced the condenser motor and fan blade on this unit. A week later the there is a knocking noise from the compressor area. I gave the compressor a light shake and you can feel the motor hitting the sides in the compressor. I assume there is nothing that can be done short of a new compressor. The question I have is how long the unit will last. Thanks,
Sometimes these compressors can go for years with a slight knock, however the fact that the condenser motor was out for awhile weans the compressor ran very hot for an unknown time. Prepare to repair or replacement of the compressor based on the fan failure. If the unit is in otherwise good condition, a compressor replacement is not a bad investment.
