Noise I just bought the 8000 and 10000 BTU Frigidaire air conditioners just before my move and have found that they are very noisy (especially the 8000 BTU unit). The sound of the air flow is very noisy and the 8000 BTU unit also seems be have a slight irritating whining noise. I was thinking about taking out the three screws I saw on the side of the unit in hopes of getting the front off and attaching some cloth or something inside to make it quieter. Since I have now moved into New York City and am over 160 miles from where I bought them I cannot return them. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Adding cloth or any other sound absorbing material will not work. There is not enough room to add anything appreciable in the fan area.

How to Replace broken fan on frigidaire air conditioner FAL125M1A1

Most of these AC units that are small in BTU size, under 15k, can't be repaired because most manufacturers don't have replacement parts available. Contact Frigidaire first.

Frigidaire FRA256ST2 window air conditioner unit quit working, breaker is fine and the plug reset only gets the unit to beep but not turn on

Have you recently plugged in another appliance (computer, microwave, etc)? The drain on your home's wiring system may not be allowing all appliances to run at once.

We just bought a frigidaire 22000 btu unit. We we

If you have or know someone how has a multi meter just test that you have 220 volts at the outlet. Thats about the only way to tell. The fan will run if you only have 120v at the outlet, just not the compressor. so it will not cool. If you only 120v at the outlet it could be just a fuse or breaker problem. If it's a new outlet then it could be wiring wrong also.
Hope this help

Water doens't drain properly and sitting there,

that's fairly common for window units, it's ok to drill a small hole in the underside of the case to drain the water, just be sure you don't puncture the condenser in the process.
