Inverse Phase repairs roof Air Conditioner
🕑 Added 2021-08-20 03:31:39 +0000 UTCI know what you're thinking. Two Patreon posts in less than a week? Something must be horribly wrong!
Actually, something was wrong - two weeks ago (or something like that), my air conditioner started making this awful banging and rattling noise, and even though it was still running and keeping the house cool, it wasn't doing much for my sleep at night. I googled around and it looks like stuff just kind of gets loose over time, and you need to pad it more. I found a video of some guy replacing a rubber gasket and his rattle stopped, I decided I would try that.
So, off came the shroud, which kinda broke on its way off but is mostly salvageable, and I took a look. This is actually somewhat post-repair already. As it turns out, I didn't have a rattly pipe thing, but the uh, whatever dealy that gets cold (evaporator?) was rattling against the rest.
A zoom of the affected area shows you that the thing has actually held up pretty well for being 35 years old, but jamming some flexible shipping foam in there did the trick. It's even quieter than before! I couldn't figure out why the foam had turned red though, until I looked at my finger.... oh bother.
That's it. Home repairs with Inverse Phase. Glad you're still here.
Oh, and I heard back that all of my art is being sent off to the factory today, one step closer to the record!
See y'all on Discord - let's do a group watch thing sometime soon!

Silent cooling demands sacrifice! Glad to see it was something relatively simple. : )
