We can also bring to your attention the reduction of the vibration of the washing machine - the installation of special vibration dampers under the feet of the washing machine. The price of the service is 2000 rubles.
Strong vibration of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner interferes with working and resting. We can reinstall the air conditioner by substituting special shock absorbers (made in Italy) under the legs of the external air conditioner unit, special gaskets between the wall and brackets of the external air conditioner unit, and even inside it. This set of measures will help get rid of vibration in the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. The work performed by us gives a noticeable decrease in vibration, hum, noise from the air conditioner, after which you can safely be in the room. Our clients were satisfied for many years of our work!
Below is a technology developed by us to reduce the vibration of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, which has been tested experimentally on various models of air conditioners.
Vibration mounts under the legs of the outdoor unit reduce vibration transmission from the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. The vibration mount consists of two independent bolts, industrially molded into rubber. At the same time, as experience shows, this rubber can withstand both tropical heat and Russian winter. It looks like this. Click on the photo to enlarge.
There can be many reasons for increased vibration. First, you need to open the cover of the outdoor unit and see if the tubes of the case are touching and whether the fan bracket is properly fixed. the tubes are bent, the bracket can be fixed better. Further, if the vibration remains (it is felt most of all on the ports - this is already an increased vibration of the compressor), then you need to deal with its transfer through the brackets to the wall in three ways at once:
one.Moving the unit to a harder wall 2. Replacing brackets with more rigid ones with a hole not in the center for an anchor or a screw, but as low as possible (then the bracket will not “walk” along the wall together with the block to create a hum) 3. Installation of vibration dampers with bolt insulation from the bracket through rubber. Ideal vibration mounts from Copeland, but they are not a panacea.
Reducing vibration, hum, noise from the air conditioner is possible!
Many people, having installed a split system cheaply, at the lowest price, for those who save on everything and do not work in the best way, often face the fact that their air conditioner hums, makes noise, emits a strong vibration, hum. The walls are humming. Low frequency noise from the compressor of the outdoor air conditioner unit interferes with sleep. Neighbors often complain.
The reasons for the malfunction of your equipment are a constructive error of the manufacturer or a factory defect. Sometimes the cause of the rattling is inside the external unit of the split system. In other cases, it is caused by the fan or compressor of the outdoor unit.
Below is a technology developed by us for reducing the malfunction from the external unit of the device, which tested experimentally on various models of air conditioners. Our clients have been satisfied for many years of our work.
In order to reduce vibration, hum and noise from the device, we put special shock absorbers under the legs of the external unit, and also, in some cases, if necessary, between the brackets and the wall, and sometimes even inside the external unit. Our specially selected gaskets effectively reduce shaking from the outdoor unit. This has been proven experimentally - customers stop complaining about vibration from the split system. That is why our split system installation is of such high quality and we are recommended.
Our service provides a quite noticeable tangible reduction in vibration of the outdoor unit by 80-90%, after which you can safely be in the room.
If you have already installed the equipment, and you are annoyed by the shaking from the external unit of the split system, then we can reinstall it by substituting our special shock absorbers under the legs of the external unit
The vibration generated by the air conditioner sometimes creates such a strong noise effect that further operation of the split system becomes impossible. The specialists of the service center or installers who installed the equipment will be able to understand the reason and eliminate it.
Both units of the split system can be vibrated. The causes are very different. If the indoor unit vibrates, dirty filters or fan (squirrel wheel) may be the culprit. The uneven accumulation of dirt creates an imbalance that causes vibration. Cleaning the indoor unit will usually fix the problem.
Also, imbalance can be caused by a defect in the squirrel wheel: curvature of the blades, curvature of the axis, asymmetry and other similar disadvantages. In this case, vibration will be noticeable from the first day of operation of the air conditioner, when it is under warranty. It requires a warranty repair of the indoor unit with the replacement of the damaged part.
In addition, the indoor unit of the air conditioner vibrates with such a defect in the squirrel-cage wheel, such as the breaking of lamellas. Breakdown can occur from careless handling during installation or during operation, if the installer or the owner of the air conditioner himself has made a negligence. In this case, the replacement of the fan of the indoor unit is carried out at the expense of the installers or the owner of the split system himself. To prevent this from happening, it is recommended to carry out installation and further service only in specialized service centers, where the masters are highly qualified and experienced.
Incorrectly laid freon line (without thermal insulation)
If the outdoor unit of the air conditioner vibrates, the reasons may be as follows:
The installation was carried out on brackets made from a corner of small thickness.
The outdoor unit is installed on a weak surface (such as a balcony railing).
When attaching the brackets to the wall of the panel house, the reinforcement was touched.
There are no special vibration damping pads between the legs of the outdoor unit and the surface of the brackets.
Too short and straight freon line connecting the air conditioning units. The length of the freon line recommended by manufacturers is 3-5 meters. Even if the units of the split system are nearby, these requirements must be observed. In addition, the line must contain a vibration damping bend and not run in a straight line.
Interblock communications are laid without thermal insulation.
Factory defect in fastening parts inside the outdoor unit housing. A part fixed with an offset (for example, a freon filter, etc.) touches the housing cover and resonates.
Unprofessional installation of the air conditioner
If the external unit of the air conditioner vibrates, the emitted sound disturbs not only the owners, but also the neighbors. To eliminate vibrations, it is necessary to observe the operation of the air conditioner in order to accurately identify the cause. The list and cost of work will depend on the results:
If it is established that the cause is a factory defect, the service center specialists will make a warranty repair with the replacement of the defective part. In this case, the air conditioner must be under warranty with the factory seals preserved.
If the installation was carried out with violations of the technology, and as a result the outdoor unit of the split system vibrates, the outdoor unit will need to be reinstalled. During the reinstallation process, it will be necessary to take into account all the mistakes made and correct them. This can be choosing a different location for the outdoor unit, connecting a new freon line of the recommended length and configuration, replacing brackets and other work.
It is also recommended to install vibration damping pads between the surface of the brackets and the legs of the outdoor unit.
When choosing a company to install a split system, pay attention to the experience and professionalism of the craftsmen, the availability of specialized equipment and the provided warranty. Otherwise, there is a high probability of encountering vibrations of the outdoor or indoor unit from the air conditioner and the resulting additional costs.
There are situations when the outdoor unit of the air conditioner starts to make noise and vibrate, thereby causing discomfort to you and your neighbors. More budget air conditioners often make noise and vibrate, although no one is safe from compressor vibrations in branded models. This is especially true if the outdoor unit is installed on a balcony slab. With this method of installation, a decent hum is created on the balcony, which is transmitted to the room. Similar problems are inherent in air conditioners that have worked for more than three to five seasons, the shock absorption cushions of the compressor have become unusable. Moreover, it pesters at night, when a person wants to sleep peacefully in the coolness and silence after a hard day's work.
One of our clients suffered from this problem, and he had a rather expensive inverter air conditioner. He gave us the idea of combating noise, which we successfully implemented, satisfying all the whims of the client.
The solution is quite simple - the lining of rubber cushions-silent blocks under the “paws” of the outdoor unit. The pillows are made of soft, but tear-resistant rubber, into which metal threaded pins, not connected to each other (!) - the premises.
Those gum spacers that come with Lq and Samsung air conditioners do not give a positive effect, because when using them, the block is rigidly coupled to the bracket. After a couple of years, the rubber dries up in the sun, the fastening nut loosens, as a result, the noise of the air conditioner is even greater than when installing without using spacers.
We do not sell such pillows. You can buy them at the car market. It is called like this: Radiator pillow (upper) 86-00 FORD 1519545 Ford Transit 1992-2000

Dear specialists! Tell me if there is a solution to my problem. Installed splits Mitsubishi SRK40HJ. The external blocks emit a slight acoustic noise, but vibrations are transmitted to the walls so that the guard. We are not talking about turning them on at night. House of 9 floors, outer panels are two-layer with foam filling. Maybe it's the way of fastening? I sin on the fact that the brackets are somehow indistinct from the bent corner 2 mm thick. Are there any solutions? Thank you.
You can try to replace it with a corner that is harder and more reliable to the wall. Are there rubber bagels between the corner and the kondeem?
NNN wrote: that the brackets are somehow indistinct from the bent corner 2 mm thick.
2mm isn't too bad. Is the bracket welded from two corners?
Installers have not been contacted with this issue under warranty?
2BV We are not talking about a guarantee. Splits are used for ear, but I know for certain that they have not been used almost. And the guys put their own. They immediately warned that this is too powerful a device and may be buzzing. Now, behold, I'm scratching my turnips.
BV wrote: Is the bracket welded from two corners?
Yes. But I've seen others, much more massive.
NNN wrote: Mitsubishi SRK40HJ
MH are noisy. Affected by the build quality of the cases. Nearby we have a cafe with two “two-propeller” MPs on the facade. Both roar and rumble (already ringing) - I sympathize with those who live in the neighborhood. IUs are different, but they are more expensive.
BV wrote: Are there rubber bagels between the corner and the kondeem?
IMHO this won't help. Resonates the body. If you just try to sort it out, glue the joints with damper tape. It is worth checking the balance of the fan impeller.
NNN wrote: Yes. But I've seen others, much more massive.
Usually they have a common rail. Try it. However, I doubt it will help.
Kvost wrote: Try it. However, I doubt it will help.
I will try, but it comes to mind to make a "gallows" -type bracket.: Yu
unfortunately it is not possible to fix the problem. So, how the device itself vibrates - the compressor. Unfortunately, there is a sad experience. It is customary in our Kuban to build brick, private houses with an air gap between two rows of bricks. So, at a friend's 9, the Samsung made a hum in the house like a tractor, suffered for 2 years, and rubber bands and gaskets were all in vain. Everything was solved simply - I installed an inverter split. And as the grandmother whispered. silence. and this problem is not only for him.
alkor2000 wrote: So, how the device itself vibrates - the compressor.
Shitty apparently. Next to this cafe-owners of MN there is a store where a similar LG device is installed (naturally, a non-inverter). For some reason, you can hardly hear it at all.
There was such a problem. (The inverter did not pass at a price.) Mechanical decoupling of block arms through springs. If possible, I will throw off the photo. The result is positive.
So far I decided to do the following set of activities:
disassemble the case of the outdoor unit and glue it with vibroplast
replace brackets with more massive ones
weight the compressor with lead extracted from the car accumulator (on the advice of the great Pb). I plan to do this next Saturday the 25th, I will report on the result. If it does not help, I will install inverters.
Fresh wrote: Mechanical decoupling of block brackets through springs.
This is the first thing that came to mind, even came up with which springs are from Zhiguli valves, but then the copper tubes will be subject to vibration.
There is a special corrugation of various diameters for refrigeration systems. At first, they made solinoids (2-3) turns. It is not necessary to make the structure heavier.

It is very cool to put a block on 4 engine mountings from a Zhiguli. And silenceaa.
And the body of the block has nothing to do with low-frequency vibrations transmitted to the walls. It is useless to glue it.
The legacy of the ruined worsted production .. You will fly by - we will select the set .. Just don’t tell anyone (!). The only sensible thing I’ll say is: under a load of 80 kg it is compressed by 1 cm.

I have silence without pillows.

How to say. Some manufacturers glue body joints at the factory.
Kvost wrote: Some manufacturers glue body joints at the factory.
Perhaps, but it has nothing to do with the trembling walls. A bad case can give off a nasty bounce, which will help gluing, but vibrates the unit is not due to the housing.
Maybe try to lay a wall with mineral wool?
Radio wrote: the unit does not vibrate because of the housing.
IMHO, it's about shitty piston motor-compressors MN. This is not the first time I have heard and come across this personally. Analogues from the same LG for some reason behave quietly and without any tweaks, although they are cheaper.
alfabravo wrote: Maybe try to lay a wall with mineral wool?
I would change the brand of the device. Moreover, you are offered.
You can see a solenoid on the outdoor unit, unfortunately you can't see the springs.
I also got hit with the vibration of the outdoor unit. Panel house, vibrates both my block and my neighbor. The hum is specific. Where can you get the miracle springs?
Far away though. Apply the springs themselves to the above (shown).
Fresh Could you take a more detailed photo, or sketch a sketch. Interested in how the cups are attached to the springs. You need to isolate the mounting bolts from the metal of the springs, right? I wonder if the “silent blocks” used in household refrigerators are suitable for vibration isolation of the compressor from the frame? It is possible to order from Sharp refrigerators.
2Fresh on the photo of anacondas on pipes, why use them for such small diameters? also for a denouement?
green074 wrote: Where can you get the miracle springs?
As an option - do it yourself. And if without gimor - at the ventilation company ask for springs for our racial fans of the smallest. A set (4 pieces), if I'm not mistaken, gave 260 rubles. Outwardly, something similar as in the photo.
Saddles are fastened with bolts (M8), respectively, to the block leg and to the bracket, between them there is a spring. If it is guaranteed that no evil force will be applied, then it will calmly stand from its weight. With a weight of more than 50 kg, I recommend dp. a stretcher (so that the legs do not twist) in the form of 1-1 elongated letter H, which is fastened with the same bolt as the saddle. Do not mess with rubber (instead of springs) - there is little use. Saddles can be made from a plastic flange 10 mm larger than the diameter of the spring, under which a groove is made for the spring to fit, in the center of the hole. I will try to make the photos. Besides the vibration, there are starting points, plus you shouldn't exclude the low culture of service, making an effort it sways .. This is what I apply to the corrugation. For a larger dmr, surely, for a smaller one, so that you sleep better .. Good luck to everyone!
After cutting the corner, we make 3 holes for mounting on the wall. 2 holes for the air conditioner on each of the brackets. For M10 bolts, holes are 12 mm so that they do not come into direct contact with metal. It is thick, we drill successively 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 mm with drills with water.
An improperly secured bracket will transmit vibrations to the wall. Therefore, attach it along its entire length.The heel (lower part) must be fixed to the wall without fail!
Since another 150 mm of insulation layer is planned on the wall, the author of the video had to move the external block further than usual. Because of this, the lower part was reinforced with 2 corners. When fastening at the usual distance, a single strong corner is sufficient. Before installation, check if the compressor is well fixed inside? Does anything hurt him? Does the fan touch anything when it rotates? Is the fan grill secured? Are any other internal elements of the unit loose?
We weld all the seams of the bracket. May it be eternal. We strengthen the corner with a slope. We carefully clean all welded seams. Degrease the metal before painting. We use automotive soil that is resistant to weather conditions and temperatures. We take car enamel for painting. To reduce the transmission of vibrations, try damping dense rubber pads, for example, based on a rubber car mat.
We mark the holes for the mounting bolts directly along the brackets. The hole in the rubber is easier to make with a punch, like a drill. From the same rubber gaskets for washers so that the fasteners do not rigidly touch.
This is how the brackets with fasteners and gaskets in assembly look like.
Instead of standard rubber bands, install, for example, engine mounts from the car. At 140 rubles apiece, it is inexpensive. Take the nuts for the pillows at the auto shop. The thread on them is with a pitch of 1.25, and not the classic 1.5. For wall mounting, it is advisable to take damping dowels. For example, plastic. We check the horizontal position of the brackets with a level, install the external block on the supports. The air conditioner is installed. Not a single rustle is heard from him inside. And outside it works quieter than the refrigerator. Warm summer and no problems with climate technology!

Why is the air conditioner making noise? Learn All Articles
Reliable supplier: Home> Why do indoor and outdoor units vibrate in the air conditioner? Why do indoor and outdoor unit vibrate in the air conditioner?
The vibration produced by the air conditioner is occasional.
An air conditioner, or rather a split system, has 2 units: an internal and an external unit. Each of them can make noise. External in general is constantly making noise, but since he is on the street, then he does not create much discomfort. Let's leave it for later, but now we will deal with the internal block.
Often the air conditioner starts to make noise after being in use for several years, while the equipment has not been serviced, although noise may occur even if such an event was carried out. Excessive sounds may appear immediately after the installation of the air conditioner. It is of great importance to correctly establish the nature of the noise. When the reasons are clear, it is easier to fix the problem.
Noise source - fan:
Bearing problem; The split-system operation is accompanied by a rumble, the fan stops working immediately after it is turned off; Clings to structural details; Occurs in older models.
Why the air conditioner is making noise - this question begins to worry many happy owners of such climate control equipment, especially after several years of using it. It is quite difficult to answer this question, since there are a great many reasons for the increased noise.
Only one thing can be said for sure: this problem must be solved without delay in order to prevent serious breakdown and failure of this expensive climatic technology.
Do not underestimate the effects of noise that air conditioners can create, because vibration and sound pressure can cause serious inconvenience not only to the owner of the equipment, but also to his neighbors. In general, the noise level is regulated by the current sanitary standards.
Based on SN 2.2.4 / 2.1.8.562-96, the permissible penetrating noise level into living quarters is:
from 700 to 2300 - 40 dBa; from 2300 to 700 - 30 dBa.
Usually, noises from an air conditioner appear several years after the equipment has been used without servicing, or even when it is carried out.
But extraneous sounds are also possible immediately after the installation of the split system.
It is very important to correctly identify the source of the noise, after that, knowing the cause, it will be much easier to eliminate unpleasant sounds.
during operation, a roar is heard, the fan stops immediately after turning off, scrolls with a slight
grazing on structural elements
Humming off
the buzzing is not loud, but it interferes with sleep
common in cheap Chinese air conditioners
the problem is solved by replacing the power transformer
As a rule, complaints about increased vibration of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner are presented by users living in houses whose external walls are made of three-layer panels (type P44 * and similar), and the outdoor unit is mounted on brackets directly under the window.
In brick, block, monolithic, panel houses of the old building, this effect is not observed.
The main causes of vibration are:
• specific construction of the walls;
• incorrectly selected place for mounting the outdoor unit;
• properties of brackets for block mounting (low quality);
• Incorrect mounting of the brackets to the wall (if, due to the unevenness of the wall, the bracket does not firmly adhere to its entire surface, then vibration from the outdoor unit is generated, which is transmitted to the wall through the bracket).
[01] Make sure there is no vibration.
When the air conditioner is operating, there is a lot of noise, hum, vibration from the outdoor unit.
severe compressor wear; the case of the outdoor unit is skewed; broken fan; unsuitable installation location of the outdoor unit (wooden or hollow wall);
If earlier the external block of the split-system did not make noise, but now it hums and shakes, it is likely that the compressor has exhausted its resource. This happens after 10 - 15 years of operation. The master can install rubber pads on the brackets, if they are not there, but this will only partially help. Apparently, it's time to think about replacing the air conditioner.
Sometimes installers, when installing an external block of a split system, involuntarily distort it when they are bolted to the brackets. Either the brackets were fixed crookedly, or the wall is uneven and the brackets are not parallel ... The result is the same - the block starts.
One of the main reasons may be the malfunctioning of the air conditioning system, this may turn out to be both a manufacturer's defect and an omission of unqualified installers. If the vibration of the air conditioner is produced by its indoor unit, first, you need to check the filters of the device yourself, if necessary, clean them and, possibly, the unpleasant moment will be eliminated.
If you cannot find the cause of the vibration of the indoor unit on your own or the external unit of the air conditioner vibrates, you need to contact the service department for the maintenance of climatic equipment, where they will soon solve your problem.
But the vibration of the air conditioner does not always depend on its malfunctions. The most common causes of this ailment are: the construction of the walls of the house, the wrong place for mounting the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, the technical properties of the brackets on which the air conditioner unit is installed, as well as their properties.
Air conditioner noise is one of the most common complaints from HVAC equipment owners. Floor or window air conditioners are noisier and there are less split systems.But the latter sometimes hum quite strongly. Can the noise be removed and what are its causes?
The noise of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is most often associated with the operation of the compressor. And the noise of the indoor unit of the air conditioner - with a fan.
According to manufacturers' data:
40% of the noise comes from fans; 38% refrigeration circuit and refrigeration lines (not for all models); 22% of the noise is from the compressor.
The source of the noise also depends on the type of air conditioner:
in monoblocks, the main noise comes from the heat exchanger fan and compressor; in central systems, the main sources of noise in the outdoor unit of the air conditioner are the fan and the transmission between the engine and the fan, it makes noise when the bearings are worn out or the equipment is poorly adjusted; in air conditioners of the roof-top system as a source of noise.
Many people write on the Internet that they have encountered vibrations and hum from the external unit of the air conditioner. This video from the All-by-myself blog shows you how to install it without fear of noise in its subsequent work. Weak thin brackets amplify resonance and transmit vibration to the wall. It is preferable to weld them from thicker metal. For example, from a corner 60x60 mm, 5 mm thick.
After cutting the corner, we make 3 holes for mounting on the wall. 2 holes for the air conditioner on each of the brackets. For M10 bolts, holes are 12 mm so that they do not come into direct contact with metal. It is thick, we drill successively 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 mm with drills with water.
An improperly secured bracket will transmit vibrations to the wall. Therefore, attach it along its entire length. The heel (lower part) must be fixed to the wall without fail!
Since another 150 mm is planned on the wall.
To the head of ElTech LLC 443017 Samara, Verkhnekaryernaya st. 4 TIN 6317097360 From ———
CLAIM On January 15, 2014, I purchased a Zanussi ZACS - 09HPM / N1 (2.6 / 2.7) air conditioner from ElTech LLC, paying a cost of 16,768.00 rubles for it. This circumstance is confirmed by a sales receipt dated January 15, 2014, as well as a sales receipt No. 2936 dated January 15, 2014. The air conditioner was installed by the employees of Elves-F LLC on January 17, 2014. For the installation, I paid cash in the amount of 7315.00 rubles, which is confirmed by check No. 2937 dated January 15, 2014. It should be noted that the air conditioner was put into operation only 4 months after the acquisition, in April 2014. However, initially, during the operation of the air conditioner, malfunctions were identified, indicating about.
I will accept other useful tips. .
View Full Version: Vibration from air conditioner
The room where the indoor unit was hung is covered with plaster. When the air conditioner is operating, the operation of the compressor is quite well audible and vibration is felt if you put your hand on the wall. In the next room there is no interior decoration yet and there is generally silence, no sound, no vibration. And the wall is the same. Help me figure out the cause of this troubles. Vibration and sound are transmitted from the bracket along the wall through the plaster as through a resonator or through a line to the indoor unit, and is it already vibrating on the plaster? Normal split, seven. The external block was hung on a blank wall (no windows). Shell-to-stone wall, plus plaster. The line is short, directly from the outdoor to the indoor unit. The hole in the wall was not blown out with foam, it was simply covered with mortar on the outside. Maybe this is the case, and it is necessary to blow out the foam in order to fix the highway in the wall?
DrTurbo (Moscow) 7 oct. 2005 13:56:34 They say that outdoor air conditioners make a lot of noise. Moreover, the noise is not from the fan, but due to the transmission of vibration from the unit through the fastening anchors. The problem mostly relates to panel and monolithic houses.
Who has what experience? (And if you can name the manufacturer, maybe there are “heroes” of our own) Biryukow (Moscow, Russia) 7 oct. 2005 14:35:16 Yeah, it was and was treated.The air conditioner (Samsung) was installed by the Euroclimate company. When installing on brackets, they simply forgot to put rubber gaskets under the shelves adjacent to the wall (of course, the outdoor unit is mounted only through gaskets). Now, it seems, the downstairs neighbor has calmed down. Also, the visor adds a little noise, but I foamed it from the inside. Of course, try to "pull" the block to your window so that it does not hang over the neighbor. (Moscow) 7 oct. 2005 15:35:01 I was told that and with gaskets through.
Quite often, happy owners of air conditioners are faced with problems that cause their air conditioner to start flowing. Indeed, there is little consolation in this, especially if the problem caught you by surprise, and there is no one to turn to for help.
The phenomenon is unpleasant, so you need to urgently eliminate the cause of the malfunction
There are several reasons why water flowed out of the air conditioner:
The tank for collecting condensate has overflowed, which is especially typical for those cases when the system itself has been operating at almost full capacity for a long time - as a rule, this is a hot summer period The heat exchanger of the air conditioner freezes, as a result of which the evaporating working fluid begins to form condensate, which and leads to permanent leaks. This reason is typical for spring, late autumn or winter, when in the daytime the temperature exceeds zero, and at night it drops significantly below it. Failure.

Comrades! Tell me how to reduce vibration of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner? He himself does not make noise, but vibrates. The room where it is installed is quiet. But in the other room there is a terrible hum, low frequency, such as bass. Moreover, it is near the walls, and exactly in the middle of the room - it disappears by 80 percent. Apparently some kind of resonance turns out. How to reduce vibration, or take it under warranty? And one more thing: there are vibration isolators: rubber and spring. What are the best springs or elastic bands?
How is it arranged inside, can the compressor be suspended on a spring? or is it rigidly attached?
You didn't assemble it yourself. Make a presentation to the seller's team (seller).

To get started, try hanging a carpet or sheet on the wall opposite to the compressor.
Solution: Installation should be carried out by specialists licensed to install air conditioners, in accordance with the instructions and using special equipment. After installation, no debris, no dust, no boxes should remain in the room. The word "air conditioner" has taken root only in our country. This is actually a piece of the phrase air-condition, which in translation from English means "air condition". The air conditioner is used to maintain the desired temperature and humidity in the room. By ventilating the air, the air conditioner purifies it by letting the air flow through special filters.
Today we will talk about installing a more modern type of air conditioning system - a split system. What are the advantages of a split system over a "conventional" air conditioner.

Troubleshooting the air conditioner If the air conditioner does not operate normally, refer to the following table from the operating instructions for the air conditioner. This can save you time and unnecessary costs.
Clogged indoor unit filters
Clogged filters impairs the airflow to the heat exchanger, which leads to a decrease in the air conditioner performance for cold or heat. In addition, a violation of the system operation mode can lead to freezing of copper pipes. When the air conditioner is turned off, the ice will start to melt and water will drip from the indoor unit. Heavy clogging of the filters can lead to clogging of the drainage system with dust lumps and impairment of normal condensate drainage. Filters should be cleaned once every two to three weeks, and in case of high dust content in the air in the room.
Climate technology plays an important role in creating a comfortable home environment. Repair of air conditioners in case of breakdown is easy to do with your own hands, since these devices are quite simple to operate and work.
In household ventilation systems, a decrease in work efficiency is immediately felt. If some signals about the impending breakdown of home air conditioners may not be immediately noticed, then the deterioration in performance is noticeable immediately (especially in the hot season). The main types of air conditioner malfunction:
Separately, it must be said about the breakdown of floor-standing household air conditioners. Correct installation of climatic technology plays a very important role. If the installation was not carried out on a flat surface, then the drains will clog first, and then the radiator and engine will fail. The air conditioner will hum during operation and accumulate condensate, after which it will be almost impossible to repair it.

The easiest way is to clean and urgently repair the air conditioner radiator at home. Externally, the split-system radiator resembles a very fine mesh, which is located under the front panel of the device. Due to the fact that it is constantly exposed to dusty air, a large amount of debris from the outside accumulates on the mesh, which gets into your home during work. In addition, the equipment also builds up dust during downtime (winter and autumn), which also causes dust to appear on the radiator.

To be on your own clean and repair the air conditioner, need to:
Remove the panel from the device. It is attached to threaded connections, they are removed with a screwdriver or wrench (depending on the brand). In some window air conditioners (Mitsubishi, Hitachi or Daikin), the panel is also secured with hidden locks; Photo - cleaning the split system
Under it are the first air filters, through which the air flow passes both from the street and from the house. Therefore, you need to remove and soak in warm water and soap for 30 minutes. During this time, fatty deposits and dust will peel off from them, and pathogenic bacteria will also be destroyed;
A rotary fan is located under them. It is produced in the form of a roller and must be cleaned, since it is this part that helps to distill air. Its maintenance consists in wiping the blades with a damp cloth soaked in soapy water;
Further, you will find yourself in the filters through which the air flow enters from the outer compartments into the inner ones. These parts are cleaned with a roller dipped in water and soap, you can buy a special tool or use a rag wound around a long tube.
Most often, warranty repair does not imply cleaning the radiators of air conditioners, so you will have to carry out the work yourself. It is advisable to repeat the process every six months for the best effect.

Instructions on how to clean the heat exchanger of a Panasonic (Panasonic), Samsung (Samsung), VAO and others air conditioner:
It is necessary to remove the front panel and remove all parts of the external compartment. You need to get into the internal one, the heat exchanger is located exactly there;
There are several ways to clean. For example, many even professional craftsmen simply blow through the radiator with a vacuum cleaner. If you do not have this device, then you can walk over it with a soft brush;
To test its performance, dip the part in a bowl of soapy water. If bubbles come from somewhere, then the radiator needs to be soldered.

With rare use of the conditioner, or, on the contrary, after very intensive use, many owners notice that water drips from under the front panel. The problem is clogged drainage pipes... What to do:
Repair of air conditioner hoses is carried out only in the warm season, in extreme cases, at a positive temperature, otherwise it will be impractical;
If the problem was noticed after the winter season, then first you need to carefully warm up the branch with warm water and a rag - probably an ice plug has formed in the pipe;
If the malfunction was discovered in the middle of the working season, then the pipe must be blown out. For this, special compressors can be used, which are output to the internal outlet of the tube or liquid. Read the instructions first to see if cleaning solutions can be used in your conditioner.
But the most dangerous problem that requires urgent repair and can affect the operation of the air conditioning compressor or its clutch is refrigerant leakage. The main insidiousness of a malfunction is that it is very difficult to detect. Not even all professional workshops provide such a service. Leakage signs:
Noise during operation;
Decreased cooling efficiency;
Sudden changes in temperature.
Before starting the repair, you need to find the place of the leak. There are several ways to do this. The easiest is, again, using a soapy solution. It is necessary to lubricate the pipes of the refrigeration circuit with a special soap (you can also use the usual 1: 1 solution, but its effectiveness is lower), and watch where bubbles appear.

In some brands, a liquid is added to freon, which glows under ultraviolet rays. Of course, you will need to arm yourself with a UV lamp, but this is the fastest and most efficient option. It will not work to repair high and low pressure pipes on your own, moreover, if the problem is not detected in time, the repair will be more expensive than the cost of the equipment. Therefore, we recommend that you immediately contact the service center with this leak.
