most likely a capacitor...…
you always have to factor in, in your case, your going to have to hire someone to pull the unit, and replace the capacitor...… in which the diagnosis may come back of more issues, and not worth investing for repairs.....yet you still have a service charge... or, purchase a new unit, which may be more efficient, but you have to factor in, price of product and installation... I somewhat fall into your same boat, as I have a 30,000btu unit, not on it last leg yet, but at 24 years old, will eventually give out....granted I have the ability and help to install this myself... some of the big questions are: buy one now, or wait until it gives out, and then scramble to find a replacement in stock....stores are selling out as we speak... I am not wild about the new digital units....as with things today, most reviews are from people who aren't getting much longevity out of these new designed units... I do know one thing, for the coldest air, get one with the lowest EER rating...and buy a unit with a higher BTU than what is recommended for your area to cool... I too would like to get a Fedders unit, not even sure if they are still available...Frigidaire looks about the best choice, Friedrich KUHL are supposed to be built really well, but at a price tag to go alone with it... can't say I am at all wild about todays Haier Styrofoam units, yet I have an older one that works superb, if I could only find another like it... good luck, and keep us posted on your progress.... |
