I get somewhat unbalanced when I have had a couple of wines!!

You may need to remove the motor assembly from the air handler side of the air conditioner.

I had a fan that made the same type noise. It turned out that the fan blade base had a tiny crack in right by the set screw. I was able to take the broke fan off and order a new one and fix it myself.

this noice is coming from the turbine looking thing under the Styrofoam. I cant even figure out how to open that up and look.

Could that turbine looking thing be the squirrel cage fan previously mentioned?

[gr8white]

i believe it is but I cannot figure out how to get to it to see whats wrong. Here are some pics I took.

You will need to remove the motor and fans as an assembly, I believe.

does anyone have instructions on how to remove this motor and get the squirl cage out?

Looks like the condenser housing, the tin part the fan housing is mounted to, will have to be have the condenser removed for access. Kinda looks like , 2nd to bottom picture, the housing might separate there. If it's made like a lot of cars, some times the spot welds have to be drilled out and replaced with screws. I'd like to see a little more of the tin where the tubes are coming out.... from the side you're showing and ,same end, the other side.

pretty sure i just remove the 4 screws holding the evaporator and flex it gently asside to pull the blower wheel.

edit: can you just spin the fan and inspect it with a light? should be broken/missing blades. they dont bend like the old metal ones
