I haven't had a need to run the A/C during the winter but I have had a few opportunities to run it and it runs fine. Only the past two days when I try and run it - it shakes violently and 'fights' against the fan belt. Its not whiney or making any time of noise other than fan belt rub and the smell of burning rubber. I think its in the process of siezing. Can I save it or do I buy a new one? Is there anyway I can lube or oil it and save my compressor or is a dying compressor something I should just replace?
Of all the threads I've searched on I have found a handful that talks about oil but I'm not sure if I can oil it and not lose the freon. so my questions are 1. Can I salvage the compressor? and 2.) If I can save it by re-lubing it, can I not lose the freon.
Sorry but A/C systems somewhat elude me.
