It's behind the front grill underneath the vent. Some window A/C you can slide the filter out from the side or the bottom. Some you have to pull the whole front cover out. Some is part of the front grill and is not removable, and can be cleaned out instead of replacing.

Hello Burnt 9 is coldest

Hello,

this means you will be needing a wiring diagram for your AC unit. This will help you know the right place to attach the power cord.

mcdevito75 here, the 8 is the coldest somewhere between 3 and 4 should be just right.

Hi,

Unfortunately you cannot mount this type of A/C vertically. The compressor must be in the upright position or it will be damaged and not function in a short period of time.

All I did was pull on the top left and right corners of the door. It's hinged at the bottom, so it doesn't really come off, but the top will swing out so you can get to the filter. The door does not open at the top of the unit. There are indentations on each side at the top of the door. Press your fingertips on each side at that point and pull towards you. The door should open easily.

If the humidity is not high youwill not gget much water out the back. The air conditioner has slinger ring on the condenser fan than throw the water onto the coil and it is evaperated. Rus

try cleaning the coils..this has the metal fins on it looks like a radiator on a car. Use soapy water and a wire brush. Keep filter clean

fan should be on all the time, this is odd , like it hase a poor contact at the switch or fan motor. if this is an older model , may be some corrosion, if newer, problem is cheap chineese switches

sounds like you have a bad capacitor it"s a little shiny metal thing that is sometimes oval or looks like a pop can you should be able to find one at an electrical store take down the voltage usually 370v or 440v and the mfd rating usually a 5 mfd or 7.5mfd it should be less than $10

There is a problem and you or an Ac technician has to find it.

NOOOOO. The compressor in it is mounted and can only sit one way. If you install it sideways it will burn up the compressor

Window AC's mut be installed with the back slightly lower than the front to allow the condensate (water) to drip outside

Your unit is low on freon. Take the unit to a service facility & have it recharged & the leak repaired. Note that ice formation may normal if the outside temperature is below 45-50F. If you must use it in the meantime, leaving the unit on fan only will melt the ice much faster.

well the thing is that you puting sheets and thing under it only make alot of things harder for you because u are just keeping the some of the water in the ac so you keep making it freeze more so this is what u do u take the ac out of ur window and put a towel on the floor but make sure it folded twice because you will have water all over the place yoyu take the ac from the back and tilled it and u will see water come out tryu front and back to make sure make sure all the water out and put it back inthe window turn it one and ur do but un mit want to do this latly so it want freeze as much

well u should take it out the window and dran the water out unite thwe water is gone then put it back ang if u still see that its freezing try it again and then put it one and u my have to do this offin to keep it from freezing

if its still blowing> cold or hot air? then the therostat is stuck!

if its just shifting air then you can either get it fixed by consulting ye old yellow pages.... OR opening it uo and getting the number/name printed on the switch and posting it here so i can direct you to a website that will happly send you a shiny new one in the mail!

 

good luck.
