BEWARE. Drain Holes Missing to remove water causing HAZARDS
DREW
2/24/2023
MAJOR Design 101 Flaw discovered in All Windows mounted units in my home where I use them as Zone Cooling for bedrooms so that I do not need run Central Air system constantly or as hard. What is the Design Flaw? Water from the Evaporator Coil upfront where it condenses the water out of the air drains into the bottom tray and then exits the tray at the far right corner into the bottom pan of the unit. That water combined with rain water... HAS NOWHERE TO GO. It sits there until it finally builds enough water height to drain out of a raised edge drain hole in approximate center of the unit. The water that is TRAPPED in the pan causes Multiple Issues. 1) Health Hazard from stagnating water to result in Sick Building Syndrome. The water evaporates back into the room as the unit outside is exposed to heat and sun. Black mold grows using the water as a source of continuous moisture present. ALL of my 4 units had Black Mold Growth throughout them. Cleaning the filter is NOT the cause. It is the continous presence of water from removing the humidity in the air such as encountred in Texas and then of course rain, etc. 2) Ants and bugs use it as a source of water. They invade your home even at the 2nd floor 3) Accelerated Corrosion of entire unit with all components in constant water bath resulting in premature destruction of unit and integrity of steel bottom due to Rust. One unit literally had the bottom fall apart when touched with only the paint holding it together?! 4) They pose a Safety Hazard to anyone below them or Handling them because there is the potential for Failure to fall due to the accelerated corrosion and rusted bottom no longer able to suppor the weight of the components such as the coil, compressor, fan, etc 5) Safety hazard created by all of this that can lead to an Electrical Fire and Water Damage to the building. I had water coming out the front of the pan back in the room when the black mold growth plugged the drainage hole and all of the biological growth occurring in the bottom of the main pan?! All of this was a SIMPLE DESIGN FLAW. They are Missing 1/2" Drainage Holes in the bottom pan where it was clearly designed to be a Sump for water to collect right behind the bottom right evaporator coil drain pan hole. This was discovered on multiple units dating back to 2008 including a Brand New Unit received this week of Oct 2020. When I called Frigidaire, their response was to vacuum it out?? Hello... they need to Add Holes. I recommend anyone reading this to Drill the missing holes yourself also in existing units. Black Mold, Biological Growth, Bugs, Safety Hazards Galore. Frigidaire and Arctic King (Rebranded Frigidaire Unit) All had this Fatal Design Flaw.

This air conditioner has the worst drainage I've ever seen. In fact, it doesn't drain. Water just collects in tray and gets nasty. And you will void the warranty if you add your own drainage holes. I've never seen anything like it. This air conditioner has grown mold in it due to the lack of drainage, making it worthless (and the customer service is just as bad). I will never buy another Frigidaire product again if this is how they do business.

The air conditioner was a life saver, especially this summer with the over 90 degree days. It was a replacement for our previous air conditioner. It was the perfect choice. It is in my children™™s room and they love it. Thank you Frigidaire.

It works really well. I also like the eco mode. Some say it is noiisy but I don't. There is sometimes noise from the fan caused by water in the bottom of the unit but it isn't bad Andaman used to it.

It cools my bedroom so much better than my old AC and I leave the door open so it keeps the adjoining room comfortable too. The remote lets me control it without getting out of bed and it's pretty quiet too. I loved it so much I bought another one for my home office. Score!

Excellent ac unit. Definitely worth the price. I live in a tri-level house and have central air. Unfortunately it™™s always warmer upstairs. This window ac allows us to cool off our bedroom while keeping the central ac unit on 76. It™™s always cooler on the main and lower level.

Distributed Air Conditioning

The need for Air conditioning during extreme Temperatures in a non-conditioned home can be solutioned economically by individual units in the most used rooms. This high efficiency, remote controlled unit does an excellent job cooling my office space. Additional units for the master bedroom and the kitchen complete the task of cooling with individual room temperature control as needed for essential rooms.

Needed a new AC unit for my living room and was glad this one was a 6000 BTU for the price and with a remote control. Definitely helps to keep my house cool and isn't too loud for a window unit.

So very happy I got this air conditioner, it works flawlessly. compared to any of the many others I have had, this one is simply the best. What I noticed first was that it takes so much of the moisture out of the air. I am able to set it 2 degrees higher than my other older AC unit and feel so much more comfortable. The auto function is amazing, I never have to say I have to adjust it to cool, fan only or shut it off. It does all that as the room temperature changes with no input from me. today was a great test for it, 98-degree heat index, and this unit never blinked an eye at it. It is an amazingly quiet unit, it is in my bedroom/office area. It does not bother my sleep in the least, I never notice it running. When it starts back up when needed, it barely makes a sound, no grumbling when the condenser kicks in. Just glides into action and the same when it goes back to fan mode. This unit is cooling a space of 220 sf that has 3 open doorways to it so the actual area is bigger as the air escapes slightly. I spend 80% of my day in this area, this unit makes for a great comfort zone.

Needed a window a/c for my summer place, since mine broke early part of summer. This was easy to install. It cools the area very fast and doesn't make much noise. I especially love that I can use the economy button to save energy! Would highly recommend this a/c unit.

My Frigidaire Air Conditioner

My New Frigidaire Air Conditioner is doing an awesome job keeping our bedroom cool during the high 80's and low 90's we have been experiencing this Summer. I keep it on during the day, but at a higher temperature and on Eco mode. Just before bedtime, I turn the temperature down, and Eco mode off to provide a beautiful environment for sleeping.

Not as quiet as claimed on the box.
Peter in RI

This AC is lightweight, easy to install, and works well. The controls are well laid out and it comes with a nice remote. At $200 it's a good value. On the box it claims a noise level as low as 52 dB on the low setting. My own measurements using NIOSH on iPhone show a noise level of 60 dB which is disappointing. If you are looking for a quiet AC for a home office, keep looking.
