ABNORMAL NOISE FROM EVAPORATOR
ConditionPossible CauseCorrection
Whistling sound is heard from
evaporator.Depending on the combination of
the interior / exterior
temperatures, engine rpm and
refrigerant pressure, the
refrigerant flowing out of the
expansion valve may, under
certain conditions, make a
whistling sound.At times, slightly decreasing
refrigerant volume may stop this
noise.
Inspect expansion valve and
replace if faulty.
ABNORMAL NOISE FROM BLOWER MOTOR
ConditionPossible CauseCorrection
Blower motor emits a chirping
sound in proportion to its speed of
rotation.
Fluttering noise or large droning
noise is heard from blower motor.Worn or damaged motor brushes
or commutator.
