Fedders and Freidrich are THE GOODS Next to GE and Whirlpool

What? So?

So you’re saying to charge refrigeration units “post condenser”? As in, add the charge port on the liquid line in front or before the condenser? Just to be clear just asking?

Joshua's Recordings Provided the R12 hasnt all ended up in ozone layer! I hauled in an old Early 12K btu LG? Only to have it blow at 68egrees & barely cool a small room! The labor of removing it & taking it back a hassle! My back was sore for weeks!

Will C Sounds like you are low on Freon. Not the air conditioner's fault, if the unit was taking poor care of their is probably a leak somewhere.

That UNIT got returned same day 4 years ago. Even the unit I bought new is sold now. Just saying the older units are functionally obsolete, heavy & so on. & it was obvious I was low on freon when I plugged it in. So thus I returned that unit to the used store I got it from & got a brand new one from same guy $50 more!

Will C how is the functionality obsolete? They are heavy are because they are made right.

+Rice Cake Yes, they suck about 1.4x the power, but they cool better, last longer and are very fun to mess with. They also provide a better "quality" of cool, I know that sounds stupid. Anyways, it is true. Also LG sucks!

If the compressor hums and clicks off, it's most likely a cap. if it doesn't start at all, it's probably faulty controls or wiring, or you might have a bad compressor.

Calvin Lee I don't know of any A/C that you add water to....A/C are like dehumidifiers and remove moisture from the air....

+Calvin Lee -if you change the fradderap with a new fordase the unit should be fine..

+gary singer What the hell are you smoking?

zeke112964 my air conditioner is a portable unit not a window unit. In the bottom there's a area where the condensation collects so as to be drained at a later date. On my unit the water will collect and then it gets pumped up through a manifold to cool the coils back down. The problem is the the water collected is either not enough and the pump just keeps running or it goes into over heat protection and shuts down. That's my problem with the unit, it shuts down from over heating so I took the face off and thought I could just add water to the condensation tray and that would fix it BUT nooooooo it still sucks up all the water to cool the coils and then shuts down. When this unit works correctly it's extremely cold but unfortunately more times than not it's shutting off. Please take a look at the model (AMCOR PLM13000E) and you'll see what I'm talking about. Thanks for your time.

sears...grainger...frigidair site but actually there are 2 sensors...one is the temp senor and the other is the ambient air sensor...most of the time the fail because someone inadvertantly got water on them...its bad business to use a water hose or any other water source that has too much pressure on a digital unit and when the thirmistors get wet..its a wrap...i reconmend a garden sprayer for cleaning window units and my little secret i use is gunk engine cleaner on the evaporator and condensor coils and clean from the inside spraying outward....use a shop vac on the inside if you can but before cleaning definetly want to wrap the digital display and motherboards or printed circuits because just one drop of water laying on 2 or more conductors will fry it...after cleaning i suggest using air to blow out any excess water/debris

ive made a wooden ramp on 30 degree slope that set the units on to aid in allowing water to get out...dont be afraid to drill some extra holes in the floor of the unit just be careful not to accidentally pierce othe components when the bit cuts through

Tim Vittetoe do you know what kind of freon to put in these things? Also i keep hearing about oil. If you need that what do you get and where you put it?

I do know that the compressor gets very hot while running.... Some areas are covered with insulation to prevent the heat from transferring into the frame...You either have a wire melting someplace inside or that insulation has broken down and started to burn. Either way youll have to look inside the unit to see what is going on.

thank u4 ur replay,i found the problem,it was 1 of the wires going to the capacitor was loose...god bless u

thunderstorms06 R22 uses a different oil than R410a...Hope you changed it..

+zeke112964 - QUESTION---i have always drilled holes in the pan so the water would run out and not slop around in the fan...i have a neighbor that told me i am suppose to leave the water in the pan to cool the unit down...do you know whats right and whats wrong regarding the the holes i drilled? i think the companies dont put holes in the pan to allow the water to drain so the units rust out sooner, forcing us, the consumer to buy a.c. units more often..

The holes may have gotten clogged ...nothing wrong with a few more

Paul Ohlstein you don't.. its that simple..

you cannot charge into the liquid line.

Freon doesn't burn a hole in the atmosphere. In the upper atmosphere, the UV light breaks apart the Freon molecule, and the chlorine part reacts with ozone (O3) molecules and breaks them apart. Ozone shelds the Earth from the worst ultraviolet radiation from the sun. With less ozone in the atmosphere, more ultraviolet radiation gets through to the ground and causes all sorts of havoc by affecting chemicals in plants and animals. Look it up; it's easy to find. Of course, if you don't believe in ultraviolet light or chemistry it will all just seem like a hoax.

Shit can’t argue with a reply like that

😂

To be fair he's going out of his way to help. I mean I know nothing about this. I'm the sort of guy that can fix computers but I don't think I really know how to change my oil, shamefully enough. Considering how frustrated I am with my a/c I could use the good humor of some language. He can make his language choices and I'm still grateful that I'm learning and those that don't like it can find another person on here: they are all giving up their time and effort for free! It's very kind of them.

Applepiebetty alot of us will help .. and no charge... but be realistic too.
