Unit makes a high-pitched whine or squeal during operation.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Worn condenser fan motor bearings, Worn circulation pump bearings, Fan blade rubbing on housing

Safety first: Unplug before touching moving parts.

1. Identify source: Remove the rear panel and briefly run the unit to locate whether the noise comes from the condenser fan or the water pump. Then unplug again.
2. Check for rubbing: Inspect the fan blades for contact with the shroud or wiring. Reposition or secure cables away from the blades.
3. Replace noisy motor: If the fan or pump shaft has play or feels rough when spun by hand, replace the condenser fan motor or circulation water pump as appropriate.
