My window air conditioner started up a few days ago sounding very ill. Clearly
the fan/blower bearings are noisy, so I pulled all apart, cleaned and am
thinking lubrication would be in order.
I think it has sleeve bearings, but I'm not certain. I just spun it again and
it feels like balls without the fan and blower attached. (GE; 1/10HP;
1000/860/700 RPM; 120VAC; 1.40A; 1-phase double-ended; thermally protected;
class B insulation; "SKCP 29HC A101CS" (presumably model or type) if anyone
recognises it.)
I haven't used any solvents yet on the bearing region, because I don't want to
wash any crud into the bearings.
I am soliciting suggestions for cleaning and re-lubricating the bearings - most
things are accessible but the motor case is riveted shut, so I'll not be
opening it that far.
Donald.
