Goodman PCK 036 10 seer, buzzing breaker panel
Posted: Tue Oct 30, 2007 6:25 am
We have a packed unit described above. Gray and rectangular.
The A/C works fine, but the heater is a problem.
This morning, 58degrees outside, we turned on the unit for heat and after a while the 2 circuit breakers started to buzz softly, as if they were about to trip.
I imagine that the electric heat element came on and heat did indeed blow out the registers.
Being a heat pump, shouldn't the compressor be heard running since it is not really cold enough to kick in the electric element?
The neighbors unit, which looks similar, is running and making a sound like her A/C is running. You can hear the compressor.
I hope I have described the problem clearly enough.
