$1,760 is cheap to R-R a warranty residential compressor. Average is 2,200-2,500.
It’s an “all day” 8+ hour job when you add running to the supply house to get parts. It is 6-7 hours ON THE JOB “if…done…correctly”.
Thank you very much for those last 2 sentences.
The current complaint is that the thing wouldn't cool 6 weeks ago, and has made a horrible grinding noise since that time, but only intermittently. The company wasn't taking her seriously until I accompanied her when they came out. At that point she played them several audio recordings of the noise, and they immediately understood something had to be very wrong for that sound to ever come from an A/C unit.
In your opinion, do the relay, cap, and/or capacitor shed any more light on what might be going on?
Thanks in advance,
FC
