Hey Pal I have a koldfront Ac/ Heather what could be causing that only flow warm air at 78 ? Do I need a 25 Amp breaker ??

We are rapidly losing the fixing skills that dad used to teach us. I'm an older female, my dad was a brilliant judge, but could not hang a picture on a wall, LOL. A complete klutz. I can fix almost anything but car guts. Engineers mind.

Did you clean it and did it work . Gonna have my husband do mine we have our own rooms he has my sons room everything's new in there lucky dog

@@RavenWolfDrum69 yep! Works perfectly now.

Thanks for the endorsement Obama.

Agreed. This gentleman has a way of breaking things down to a simple science. Absolutely amazing channel!

You didn't know how to clean a window a/c unit?

Are you serious?? All of this is common sense

@@Channel-gz9hm russian troll alert....

Same. I almost felt defeated. I don’t have the brawn to lift my larger one but I can clean from the window.

I tried to clean my a/c with a steam machine, it stopped cycling off after a few seconds, but it wasn't good yet, I took out the cover, I flipped the a/c to have the outside coils upwards, I used a water bucket (mop bucket) and emptied it on the outside coil, that did give it a new life, wasn't perfect yet... i emptied 1 more bucket and then it was really good, got all its power back. I emptied two more to wash the a/c machine completely (4 total) no more vibrations, the compressor got super quiet, best a/c ever, especially since it cost me $30 canadian rubles

It worked? I did this last year to one of mine and it stopped working altogether. Thanks

Same

Wow nice

@@rm742 I did that, thanks. I clean all my regular fans and oil them usually more than once per year, so I of course cleaned the fan blades in the AC too. Correct that this is important, not just for efficiency, but balance and therefore noise too. This 38 year old AC was used hard but not for all its' life time. Where there is some rust on compressor, cap, blower motor, and a few other spots, I used a thin layer of Linseed oil. This is a drying oil, like what I use to season my cast iron cook ware(flax seed). The compressor gets warm so I wanted to use a drying oil, not one that remains wet(fire hazard). I plan to clean and add some paint to the cover, and add some new metal screws for reassembly. If I can get a new thermostat, this AC will work like new. OH I noticed that after cleaning, the compressor also does not get as warm. LOL I probably should get a new AC unit though, just because this one uses 10 amp for 6000 BTU.

Haha awesome!! Thanks for coming back to leave a comment. Glad to hear you got the AC fixed, stay cool! ;)

Does ac affect ur health ??? And what degree do u leave it on

How can you this without removing from out side cage to heavy for me to remove. Pam

Yeah...mine just started blowing air....no cooling....wish me luck too!!😒

WOO HOO! Cleaning the filter worked! Thank GOD!

@@tr2726 Good luck!

No knows Noles look at his comment he said it did

TheGr8stManEvr Did you just clean the filter? Or did you hide down the whole unit?

Thank you for that warning! I should have mentioned that in the video..

@@WordofAdviceTV The rule is as long as it was on it's side that's how long you leave upright before running it.

@@WordofAdviceTV In my case, my LG window air conditioner (which looks almost just like yours), was working fine until yesterday. It cooled my small bedroom very quickly right up until yesterday when, all of a sudden, it stopped cooling. At 1st I thought the compressor was not kicking in, just the fan working at low medium or high as usual, but after turning it off for 3 minutes and then turning it on in cool mode, with the temperature set at it's lowest (60), when I first turn it on, the compressor does kick in, but rather mildly, and it just barely cools a little. It actually helps to turn it off a short while because it seems the compressor doesn't stay on, or keep coming on, even though we're experiencing one heat wave after another, and the outdoor temperature low of the day doesn't even go below 80°. Therefore, it seems I may get more cooling after the initial start up at 60, to raise the temp to 81 or 82, after a while, so it will automatically turn off the compressor for at least 3 minutes, then cycle it back on after the temp crawls above 82. It's extremely, uncomfortably hot & humid lately & I'm sufferring in the heat. An inner voice had been telling me I needed to vacuum & clean the air conditioner & filter for the last week, but I had not done so yet as of yesterday, when it stopped cooling. I have now washed the filter & partially vacuumed and washed with a rag, the inside part of the in place, air conditioner, but still, only the fan is working fine. If it was just dust, I'd think it would cool less & less, but it cooled very well until yesterday when the cooling compressor only lightly kicked in. The cooling compressor has not improved after cleaning, so I was wondering if the excess dust that had accumulated before I vacuumed & cleaned the filter and inner fins, may have made it run hot and tripped an internal circuit breaker or burned up an easily replaceable, inexpensive part? The cord plug in, is a circuit breaker which I tested and reset. The air conditioner fan has continued to work fine, so I hope there is a circuit breaker or fuse inside the air conditioner that's just for the compressor, but haven't been able to see any indication of one, so far. Do you know if there's a fuse inside the air conditioner that can blow and cause the air conditioning compressor to not kick in, except for very lightly? Thanks in advance for any advice!!!😀

In my case my air conditioner turns on but no air comes out at all! It makes a vroom sound should I still try to clean it? Will it help?

​@@jujub3382Did you try that and did it help?

Well? Did it? Inquiring minds want to know!

Pulled the filter on mine and vacuumed the front. Filter wasn't that dirty but bottom of front cooling fins is pulling the vacuum down indicating blocked air flow. Working for now without frosting up. Probably take it out of the window and clean it right tomorrow morning when it's cooler. Lol

Please reply with results.

Also folks who can afford a new ac shouldn't just buy one when the older one just needs a good cleaning.

You're right Greg and why should we when fixing it is so easy watching this video, right!

I hope they continues to do so. I pick these up on the ad pages for free take em gone and clean em out real good if the work again I sell on the same pages for tidy profit.

Nice! 👍 Hopefully that will do the trick for you!

Oh, yeah my parents have one of these in their tiny home. It works so good! Gets cold. I think they had trouble with the original one and had to get it replaced and said that was a headache but when they work, they really work!

Wally don't you mean 12,000 btu?

@@richardmurphy3417 Yes!

I've never had any luck doing that but it's certainly not going to hurt anything and is worth a try if the motor is loud or draggy, or just as preventative maintenance if you want to. My neighbor just gave me a free AC unit with a slightly noisy fan motor and I tried oiling it and it made no difference, I don't think the oil went in since its sealed. Oh well, it's not loud and a little noise still beats the heck out of being hot any day!

Great suggestion Kkovler!! Thank you! I would also tip the unit forward a little while doing this so that the oil is running down the shaft into the motor. Doesn't always work if the fan motor is already seizing up as Avery stated but it's definitely worth giving it a try

Most of the motors use a felt wicking method to both store and apply oil to the brass bushing and shaft. Once this dries up, the motor starts squealing and/or slows down. If you tilt the motor and manually spin it slowly, you will notice that the oil that you apply to the motor shaft, slowly disappears into the motor. This continues until the felt material is back to being drenched with oil once again. I did this to my air conditioner motor when it hit being 16 years old and was squealing. Fortunately the motor shafts were exposed at both ends since the motor drives two separate fans, thus I could oil the felt located at both of the brass bushings. After that, all was new again.

@@averyalexander2303 if it's a sealed bearing you can pry out the plastic cover and clean out the grease and add new grease, just use a pick or something really sharp. if you can replace the bearing that would work too

Your comment might save me from replacing the motor bushing, as mine started squealing and then the fan froze up. I hope I remember to come back and post the results. Thank you for mentioning that drop of oil.

Don’t be too surprised if you start a fire if the alcohol hits the moving fan or hot electric part. Are you diluting the alcohol or at least not using 93%. I had accidentally set a lawnmower on fire with a full tank of gas when I was 12. I spilled gas into the pull start line. As I pulled the cord to start the mower, I learned why Gasoline makes a “Spontaneous” combustion! Thank god it didn’t catch on anything else. Luckily for me, my uncle was not too far and he didn’t even rat me out.

@@robbydschannel910 running alcohol, especially higher percentage stuff will evaporate quick

@@analogaudiorules1724 yeeeaaahhhh, nnooooooo! 🤣 for real though if you see this comment and use this stuff make sure it's unplugged and not hot and you give it a good hour at least to dry if you just use a little 93 %. Stuff is VEERRYY flammable and you is so pure you can't see the flames in daylight and therefore very Dangerous. You will get extremely hot and wonder what is happening cause they are that invisible. 😬😬

That's a fire hazard.

well said

Can I dry dust those sharp things gently with a toothbrush (& then maybe some canned air or spray water?) I can’t remove the unit from the wall...it will have to be done gently from inside & then hose the outside.

@@georgiegunn9577 On the outside coils, some water running through the fins while yous scrub (gently) with a brush should work, though I would recommend something like a scrub brush, something plastic with a handle and nylon bristles. Those bristles should be a bit longer than those of a toothbrush. On the inside, you probably don't want to run water through those if you cannot remove the unit. If you have a vacuum cleaner with a hose and a bristle attachment, I feel that would be a better approach. GENTLY being the operative word in both cases. Once again, I strongly recommend gloves. As I said above, those fins are very sharp and will lay you open very easily. They are also very easy to squash together or otherwise damage.

Thanks! Yeah, a vacuum sounds great, but I don’t have one (which is why I thought maybe a soft bristled toothbrush.) ...& outdoors, I won’t have access to scrub any of the inner coils as it will still be in its casing since it will still be in the wall. But as water goes in there when it rains, perhaps s little hose down could listen any leaves or dust.🤷‍♀️ Works great when it’s coo...lmao...not so much when it’s 100 degrees...🤣😥

@@georgiegunn9577 Georgie, I hope it works out for you. Perhaps you could borrow a friend's or neighbor's vacuum or better yet, a shop-vac with a nice long hose.

Exactly, so what do I do just vacuum?

*heating, ventilation and air conditioning

you are correct young one, but that is for industrial or central units, not window vibrators, How much experience do you have in the Field ? besides the entry level junior course ?

Hi! Did you try it? And did it work?

Think I have same LG model very very very quiet running,also wi-fi comparable so when not running all day while at work can turn it on from LG APP and start cooling the house while driving home

Yeah, and in the south near the coast, the water spraying every where makes it nasty all around the unit inside and out. That's why I drill a drain hole. Be careful and aware of the location of the refrigerant lines before drilling. I have a neighbor that went through 3 in a week because he kept popping the lines . He's dumb , you're not

I put mine in the window for the summers and installed it yesterday but in order to take it out of the packaging box without destroying the box I turned it for a minute or so upside down and turned it on after mounting it. Now I wonder if I caused a problem.

Not the coolant, it's the oil you want to settle back into the compressor.

Not in my region, everyone puts their ac units in the window, not a wall. It depends on what part of the country you live. We only need an ac 4-5 months a year.

Thank you!! God bless you and yours as well!
