Goldstar Air conditioner is loud or noisy
If your Goldstar air conditioner is loud or noisy, the sound usually points to a worn or loose moving part, not a reason to replace the whole unit. A noisy compressor is the most likely cause, and while it may keep running for years, compressor replacement should be handled by a licensed professional. Next, check the dual shaft fan motor, since worn bearings can make the AC make a loud noise after years of use. Damaged front or rear fan blades, blades rubbing the housing, or a failing condenser fan motor can also cause a window air conditioner to be noisy, rattling, or grinding. If the fan motor bearings are worn, the fan motor should be replaced. A loose blower wheel can also wobble on the motor shaft and create vibration or scraping sounds. Before ordering parts, inspect the fan blade, blower wheel, dual shaft fan motor, condenser fan motor, and compressor area carefully. Enter your Goldstar air conditioner model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement part that fits your specific unit.
01 - Goldstar Air Conditioner Compressor
When the compressor is wearing out, it generates more noise than usual. When this happens, it is not necessary to replace the compressor—compressors often last for years after they become noisy. However, if you would prefer to have a new compressor, have a licensed professional replace it.

02 - Goldstar Air Conditioner Dual Shaft Fan Motor
The fan motor or dual shaft fan motor has bearings which are usually permanently lubricated. However, over several years, the lubrication will break down, causing the motor to become noisy. If this happens, replace the dual shaft fan motor.

03 - Goldstar Air Conditioner Fan Blade
Air conditioners have a fan blade in the front and a fan blade in the rear. Check both fan blades for damage. If a fan blade is damaged, or is rubbing against the fan housing, replace it.
Highly Likely
04 - Goldstar Air Conditioner Condenser Fan Motor
To determine if the condenser fan motor is working, use a multimeter to test the incoming voltage to the motor. If the condenser fan motor is receiving the correct voltage, but the motor still won’t run, you should inspect the capacitor, if applicable, for any bulging or leaking. You can also use a multimeter to determine if the capacitor can hold and release its charge. If the capacitor appears to be in good condition, replace the condenser fan motor.
Highly Likely
05 - Goldstar Air Conditioner Fan Motor
The fan blades might be scraping against the blower housing. Air conditioners have a fan blade in the front and a fan blade in the rear. Check both fan blades to ensure that they are not rubbing against the housing. If the blades aren’t rubbing against the housing and the fan motor is still noisy, check the fan motor bearings for wear. If the bearings are worn, replace the fan motor.
Highly Likely
06 - Goldstar Air Conditioner Blower Wheel
Wiggle the blower wheel to see if it wobbles on the motor shaft. If the blower wheel is loose, try tightening or replacing the set screw screw if it has one. If blower wheel still isn’t stable, replace the blower wheel altogether.
