I'd expect that even in humid weather, once you get the interior air dried out there'd be nothing left to freeze. You would need to run the fan at higher speeds until that happens though. ----- Original Message ----- From: Larry Alster To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; 'Miata Power List' Sent: Sunday, July 20, 2008 5:13 AM Subject: RE: Strange noise when A/C kicks on
Yea and even avoid recirculating if it's extremely humid.

Don’t run the system on low fan settings on recycle air or you will freeze the coils The noise is probably just the expansion valve and I think it’s normal. Gauges on the system are the only way to check the system for low Freon with 134.

We have only heard it a few times so it is really hard to diagnose. You can let the car idle and listen to the A/C kick on and off. Every now and then (maybe 1 out of every 20 times) you can hear it go "whoooooop" when it kicks on. The noise sounds like a rubbing noise (think of a squeegee moving across dry glass) and seems to be coming from under the dash. I do not know if a door opens and closes when the A/C kicks on or not. Any ideas? Also, the A/C does not feel "ice cold". How can you tell if you need a charge on the new systems? -- Robert McElwee and Blue Flash "The 50 MPG Miata" www.lightweightmiata.com/mpg Lightweight Miata Forum: www.lightweightmiata.com/forum The Miata Trailer Project: www.lightweightmiata.com/trailer _______________________________________________ Miatapower mailing list [email protected] http://list.miatapower.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/miatapower ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Miatapower mailing list [email protected] http://list.miatapower.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/miatapower
