I've recently been entertaining the idea of selling mine since my girlfriend and I will likely be relocating downtown where parking it would cost me an arm and leg.

Yeah it was one single psst and then nothing which was strange. Tried to listen in for anything further but nothing made a sound. Hoping it's the relay or rods and not the whole compressor unit. Wish...
