Air Conditioner Questions

[Jack and Liz Pearce]

Howdy, Y'all.
We have a pair of Dometic Penguin roof air conditioners that are
original equipment on our 1993 Wanderlodge.(The middle unit has been
replaced). That means they are at least 12 years old. The bedroom air
conditioner's fan is so noisy that Liz refuses to use it. The
livingroom air conditioner's fan is getting slightly noisy, too. And Liz
is starting to make unhappy noises about that!! [] []

There is 1/4 to 3/8 inch of play on the fan motor bearings/bushings.
The compressors APPEAR to be OK. The question is what is the average
life expectancy of the compressor? If it is 10 to 15 years, then I need
to replace both air conditioners. If it is 20 years or more, then I
need to replace JUST the fan motors, which is a LOT cheaper. Answers,
comments and suggestions would be MOST welcome.

Regards,
Jack(now UNEMPLOYED)
