Removing front panel from FAC127P1A4 window air conditioner

Ductless split systems are know for creating a mildew looking "stuff" on the blower wheel. Try to open/move the louvers on the front of the indoor unit. By opening the "osculation blade"/louvers, you can see the blower wheel, normally blue in color. See if it has some mildew growing on it. If so, I found that a tooth brush and about 2 hrs labor does some good. I've found some aerosol spray, called mildew removal. Works great at covering up/controlling the smell. It's also possible that the unit is pulling air from the condensation drain line. These lines can for algae, and give us a sour yuck smell. To clean, use a wet vacuum, and clean from the outlet of the drain line. Hope this helps!

Good Afternoon Friend,

I understand that you want to know whether you can take your Frigidaire air conditioning, model# FRA256ST2, out of the case, without removing the case from the window. Yes you are. Below are step by step instructions for removing your air conditioning from the case.

1)Unplug your air conditioner.
2)Take the front grill off.
3)Remove the filter.
4)There are four panel screws, two on each side of where the front grill and filter were. Remove these screws.
5)Gently pull out your air conditioner.

For replacing your air conditioner, follow the steps in reverse. I ask that you please follow up with a comment on the post, at your convenience, to advise if further troubleshooting is needed or if your washer light status has changed successfully. Hope this is helpful.

-Best regards-

you cant

if its getting hung up on the middle of the louvers check to make sure nothing has pushed the louvers in ,in that spot. Also look inside after you have front cover off to make sure all screws are out and it can have a simple catch lock on the inside to avoid accidental slide out.

Remove the front of he unit, as if you're going to clean the filter. That will give you access to what you need to clean. Use warm water and dish washing liquid to wipe off the mildew. Rinse with clear water and a sponge, dry thoroughly and replace the filter and the front of the unit.

NOTE: Before attempting any of the above. Turn the unit OFF & Unplug it.

Ruth this happens alot ive answered alot of questions so im going to make it short please give me a vote and rating the unit needs to be pulled out and taken out side sprayed really well with cleaner homedepot and lowes sells coil cleaner in their a/c dept. it isnt as good as what your local a/c man can get but will do what happens is the consensation stays in those systems cause the deposits and rust in the drain sometimes clogg the exit when your not useing it it has water that will set their for months at a time the mildew is the least of your worry in most cases theirs mold present as well and as brings spiders and misqitoes I dont know if you can install one in that unit or not but seach online uv lights for a/c systems I think you will like what you see

Hi, carefully remove the control knobs first. Then behind the knob you should have screws.to remove, Some units the front just un snaps and comes off, but do be careful as you can crack it. The mold is coming from the coil behind it. You will need to give it a good cleaning. They make a coil cleaner, but you can use 409, of a mildew cleaner. Best of luck,

Need a part number for a "drain pipe" that would fit in the bottom of the drain pan so I can redirect condensate for Frigidaire Air Conditioner, model FAS257Q2A

My husband figured out that the grilles themselves click out--not the whole assembly. Now he is going to have to figure out how to click it back in!
