..

check the cheap stuff first like all fuses and if they are ok check wiring and then if all is good change the board. if you were asking what you should do then there ya go! i didnt really see a question in there

The portable AC units generally have a customizable, exhaust hose window, termination kit that comes with the unit.. In other words it can be cut to fit. The one that comes with the unit will fit casement windows, as well as sash windows.

To further assist you, I have included a link to the Owner's/Installation Manual for the model you referenced. You may download and print it if you like.

Hope this helped you. Please let me know. Thanks.

my unit turns on and u hear the compress try to turn on and it goes off ....but the fan still blows ...

It sounds like you have a faulty unit, that has a bad built in thermostat. I'd suggest sending the unit back for a replacement, or get a refund, & buy another unit. What you may think is the compressor kicking in, might just be the blower fan. Try raising the temperture as high as it will go, & see if you hear a noise change to quieter. If it does get quieter then the compressor was in & is not working properly. Send it back.

You cannot restrict the exhaust duct size or you will restrict the air flow and thus reduce or stop the cooling. It might even ruin the unit.

Raise the setpoint a couple of degrees, this will cut down on the noise of the compressor, put fan speed on low and that should cut down on blower noise.

Make sure you have some rubber pads underneath the unit and that should cutdown on vibration.

dont cap it. you could fit a hose and drain it somewhere.

In normal operation the water is picked up by the fan and vapourised

Hi,

If the a/c is always in a single spot in the room you can extend a hose going out. Another suggestion would be putting a pump on the bucket pumping out water so that it would automatically empty itself. A small aquarium pump would do.

I hope this helps

unfortunately you would have get a tech out there to take a look at it to many reasons
