Any other cause other than bad compressor? (Noise)

Video says lil Harley but it sounds just like a old 3 cylinder Saab

Lolol.
Sounds like a broken spring mount or something

I agree it sounds like an internal mount has failed. I've seen it a few times. One in a restaurant on an old top-mount reach-in lasted like that for years.

Yep, broken mounting spring internally. Have seen em last years that way.

I had a customer who couldn't stand the noise and had me change it out even though it worked fine.

It had a 30 mfd run cap

While running it tested 25 mfd with my Fieldpiece SC640 that I don't use much and 28 mfd with my Fluke 87v with i200s clamp

Both meters read 30 mfd reading directly with cap our of unit.

Suction line was cool but pump gets hot and shuts down.

The unit is less than a year old

Same here, 3/4 H.P. single door freezer, noisy as hell. He trashed the whole thing and bought a new freezer as replacing the compressor would have cost more than half the price of a new one.

Still in warranty then.

The last time I ran into a "broken mount" was on a mug chiller behind a bar. Due to the location and the noise the owner wanted the pump changed out. Once it was out and I got it home I cut it open to see what exactly happened. The "broken mount", in my case, ended up being a vibration absorbing spring had somehow jumped off the tab it sits on.

I didn't, but I wonder now if I had slid the spring back on and secured it and the welded the little tin can back together, would it have worked? I'm a crap welder so probably not!

LMAO.....
We can reuse him, he will live again...

An Indian engineer I met on a job told me in his homeland they repair tin cans.

I had a customer whose father owned an electrical shop in Bombay. He told me the same thing including rewinding the motor. He said a new compressor might be more expensive than in the US, so it pays off since you can employ a technician for $30/month.

Hey, as long as you're a good welder why not.

Just making the shells room bigger ,,,nothing to see here,,,, could be El Chappo digging another tunnel.....

Agree ,,internal failure ,,,, could run for years if the noise is not an issue ,, could be a stretched spring if the motor had been stored on its side ,,, quiet possibly could have been dropped just before install.
