Zoltan, You have to drop the cabinet assembly to get at this, which means evacuating the system, disconnecting the hoses inside the cabinet, wires, etc. If you really want to tackle this I have the guts from my '85 I'll make you a good deal on, like a half-rack of some variety of Freemont Brewing beer. Includes delivery to Lynnwood. Frankly, these systems are best deposited in the metal recycling bin IMHO.

The noise is coming from the overhead cabinet where the A/C is. That squirrel cage is loose and the turning part in it too. I have no idea where to begin to take it apart. Zoltan
