AC Midea window makes weird noises

[DavidHT]

Hello community, good day, I just bought a Midea new brand window air conditioner 8,000 BTU and it's making weird noises like popcorn or clicks, I have the doubt about whether this is normal or has factory faults and I should ask them to replace it.

The noise is heard at the beginning when the compressor starts and is heard for approximately 5 minutes constantly, then it only starts (x1 clic/popping) every 10 or 15 seconds, until after 15 minutes you can't hear it anymore constantly, now only heard (x1 clic) from time to time randomly.

I uploaded a video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8p7Ub6YJrGw

Can you tell me if this is normal or should I have it replaced?
This noise never happened to me before with 3 other AC's

Thnaks.

The AC is working good, I mean it's very cold but that noise is it normal? is so annoying.


I have this other model and it doesn't make those weird noises

I suggest u to put the ac on ground
Then power it on to check where strange sound come from
The ac must be installed on horzintal area
If cannot check better call service center
