The loud operation of an air conditioner can affect your sleep and work routine. This is a common issue faced by many households. In this article, Mytour suggests reasons and solutions to fix this problem, ensuring that your air conditioner doesn't suffer severe damage.
Loose screws in the air conditioner
After prolonged use, the screws may become loose, causing the air conditioner to vibrate significantly. This vibration can lead to unpleasant noise as the air conditioner collides with the wall. Fortunately, this issue is not severe. Simply check and tighten the screws, or contact a maintenance professional to ensure your air conditioner runs quietly.

Dirty fan blades
When the air conditioner is not regularly cleaned, the fan blades accumulate a significant amount of dirt. As a result, when the air conditioner is in operation, it produces loud noises, and the cooling efficiency decreases.
In this case, you can either perform routine cleaning and maintenance at home or call a professional technician to address the loud noises and ensure a stronger and cleaner airflow.

Incorrectly installed air conditioner
If the air conditioner is installed on a wall that is too thin or uneven, it can create noise during operation. The simplest solution is to insert an additional padding between the air conditioner and the wall during installation.
If the outdoor and indoor units of the air conditioner are installed back-to-back on the same wall, the resonance of the sound from both units during operation can create annoying noise. To isolate the noise from the outdoor unit, it is advisable to install it in a separate location from the indoor unit, especially in bedrooms.
Ensure the indoor and outdoor units are not installed back-to-back
Cracked air conditioner door
A cracked door on the air conditioner causes the fan to produce loud noises when operating. For small cracks, you can use specialized glue for repairs. However, for larger cracks, it is advisable to replace the door to resolve the loud noise issue.
During operation, if the air conditioner vibrates and presses against the glass door or window frame, it creates loud noises. Check the door condition and the air conditioner's installation position or fix it by inserting a wooden piece into the gap between the door and the frame to secure it.
Furthermore, if you hear the sound of water flowing due to condensation in the pipes, it's time to call a repair technician for gas replenishment, vacuuming, and nitrogen blowing. However, if you hear a rattling noise on the evaporator when starting or shutting down the air conditioner, there's no need to worry. The rapid temperature change causes the plastic shell of the air conditioner to contract and expand, resulting in a rattling sound. This phenomenon is entirely normal.
Hopefully, with Mytour's article, you've identified the causes of your air conditioner's noise and found timely solutions to prevent serious damage.
