I've encountered such issues before and it sounds like your air conditioning system is experiencing some serious problems. The humming noise you mentioned could be due to a few potential causes, including but not limited to a failing compressor, a problem with the fan motor or an electrical fault. As for the AC suddenly stopping completely, this might indicate that there's been a complete power failure in the unit itself or perhaps a tripped circuit breaker.

In Dubai and UAE, it’s important to keep up with local regulations and standards when dealing with air conditioning systems. The UAE Building Code (UAE Standardization Organization - SOR 105) mandates regular maintenance of HVAC systems, which should include checking for any potential issues that could lead to equipment failure or noise generation.

Given the severity of your situation, it would be wise to call a professional technician immediately. Our company offers emergency AC repair services and we're here at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or you can email us at hello@saniservice.com for quicker assistance. We understand the discomfort that comes with such hot days, and our team is equipped to provide immediate support.

When a system fails like yours did, it’s crucial to have a professional inspection done as soon as possible. This will help identify if there's any damage or wear-and-tear that needs addressing before you face another failure. In many cases, the issue might be as simple as replacing a faulty component such as a relay switch or cleaning a clogged filter. However, in other instances, it could point to more serious underlying issues that require attention.

It’s also beneficial to ensure your AC is serviced annually by certified professionals who can give you peace of mind and prevent future malfunctions. In Dubai, temperatures can soar quickly during the summer months, so maintaining a reliable air conditioning system is paramount for both comfort and health.

Remember, regular maintenance not only keeps your unit running efficiently but also helps in extending its lifespan. So don't hesitate to reach out if you need any further assistance or have more questions regarding your AC system!
