ac problems

Question

While my ac was running the other day the power cut off and on several times right in a row. I don't have a surge protector yet. Now when I turn on the ac it makes a lot of strange rattling noises and seems to be getting slower as it runs. Did the power problem kill my 26 year old ac or is there anything I can do to salvage it?

I would open it up and look at the capacitors.  If you do, be real careful.  They hold a charge for a while.Jose

I'll second looking at the startup capacitors. Usually if they're bad it will be visually obvious.

Thanks. I'll check that out this afternoon and let you know what I find.

And also make sure you have adequate AC voltage if using the same plug in.
