anyways is the noise sound like if you put a drop of water on a super hot pan? MY first ever unit from sneil made this noise. It was overcharged, im sure its nothing though. The temps will tell, little compressor noise is fine  |
That is a sign of flood back, liquid referigent getting into the compressor. If that is to bad it can damage the comp. or shorten its life.
If it happens while no load is on the unit, and only a little then its not to bad. But if its still doing it while a heavy load is on thats bad and shows it is very over charged.
Does this unit have an accumulator on it ?
I wil have to look back at some pic's to see if you show it.
Ok I see now, it does have one installed.
A accumulator is designed to catch liquid refrigerent in the suction line before it gets to the comp. You should be getting no flood back at all with one of these.
