Almost got rid of mine. Had it for 4 years. Thank you for this video. I got it open and cleaned. The fan was filthy and wouldnt spin. Now it runs like new!

Purchased: August 2023 - still works GREAT!I th-cam.com/users/postUgkxxsUnXhGsSJLim_XnMHyQK0u3XVaW-CGn live in a studio and during the summer it gets scorching hot - really old building with no ac units. I can’t express how EASY it was to install. This unit has been a life savior during the summer and some days during other seasons where it can still be a bit warm at night. In this small place is my friend, a husky, poodle mix and myself. We need AC - lolI don’t use the dehumidifier option - I’m not sure if it will leak in my house, since I did not install the small draining hose that came with it. May look into it late but I don’t worry about much humidity in the apartment. I don’t understand why the negative reviews since all things mentioned, I personally did not find issues with. Definitely worth it!
Thank you for showing us how to efficiently clean the dust out of the Artic King. I was lost, but now I can clean it thanks to you and it will work longer and I won't have to spend money to get it fixed or buy a new one. 😅
Your Video saved me alot of work and probably some damage on my device by trying open it. I own a "comfee MPPH-09CRN7" (Midea) and it looks pretty the same (except from some screws) as yours. Had some leakage behind the panel (what dripped down the coils aside the evaporator) and the condenser was built up with dirt and animal hairs. Thanks alot for your upload! : ))))))
Omg. Thank YOU. I knew there had to be a way. I was scared to use a pry bar and was 2 seconds away from giving this thing a shower because I cannot stand dirt and this was naaasty inside. Thank you again.
Oh I am so glad I saw your video. I took a flash light and looked to see there was a lot of dust buildup on the lower coils. So I removed some screws to get inside but failed to open it. Why on earth would the designers not include a filter like on the bottom coils?. I am going to make me a filter for the lower end. Now I know how. Thank you so much for your video. Life saver!

Hello, thanks for the instructions, they will be useful. I have a Comfee Mobile Air Conditioner Smartcool 7000 Pro, but I plan not only to vacuum it, but also to blow compressed air from the compressor from the inside out. If possible, I might also wash the radiators with a pressure washer.
Thanks for posting this. I have a Ocean Breeze 9,000 portable ac and its literally the exact same thing, as far as the back panel goes. Same exact screw locations and everything. It was good to see how exactly the back panel came off before i did it my self. I just wish the manufacturer would of put a 2nd screen filter on the bottom so its as easy to clean as the top one. Then we wouldnt even have to take it apart. When i saw how much debris yours had compared to mine i was like oh damm mines not that bad. Ive only had mine a few months this summer, but there was still a good layer of dust on the bottom grill. Question:when you store yours for the winter, do you open it back up and get all the water out of the bottom pan there? I switched to portable ACs because all the window units ive ever had always gets bad black mold inside the blower housing and caked on the fan blades itself. I figured with these portable Ones there inside the house and less likely to get mold buildup since its not exposed to the elements of outside. What do you think?
Thanks for the video, unfortunately i found it too late (took my ac to the shower) but it helped me anyway since i let it dry and cleaned up by following your instructions. Thanks alot !
Thank you for this video…we figured out getting screws off but wow they make it hard to open!! It was like someone glued a carpet to the filter inside there 🤢
Hey thanks for this, i have the 10 000BTU and had opened it last year by figuring it out myself, i hadn’t documented how i did it so i was glad to find your vid. You missed some screws at the bottom, i believe, maybe you had already removed them. I cleaned mine yesterday and it became 200 % more effective. The bottom part REALLY needs to have a washable, removable filter like the top part. They really messed up the design. Maybe they just dont care and want it to stop working after one year...
Thanks for the overview. Remember to keep track of where the screws go, they are not all the same type. Also it’s best to use a hand screw driver for anything plastic. Just snug. Strip the threads and you will have a loose rattling cover.
Thanks man, this was a tricky shell to get off. I didn't have a plastic knife/pry bar like you did, so I used a steel knife. I know it's not best, can scratch and do damage, but I was slow and safe and got it off and cleaned up.
i bought this model 3years ago and the guy at the store said that i didnt need to drain it because this model evaporates the water.. I would let it run all night and all day almost. 1st year never had to drain it a single time.. 2nd year i woke up a few times with a puddle in the room because for 500$ the machine isnt smart enough to stop when its full apparently.. Last year i started draining it straight into a bucket and empty it every few hours because its making so much water.. I feel like theres something wrong with it.. But im thinking about raising it and putting the middle drain tube through my plexiglass window so it drains outside constantly.. Its cooling down half a 4 1/2 appartment .. Would cleaning it like you do in the video change the ammount of water it makes? Because ill try that.
I'm going to try this tomorrow my Arctic king portable air conditioner keeps turning off and it's so hot I need that thing to stay on I really hope cleaning it will help it stay on
Hi, im not sure if my question will be seen.but mine is dripping LOTS of water out the bottom even after emptying both drain valves twice daily, so upon taking front off we noticed around a wire there is rubber or plastic ,one of mine is black from melting ,maybe it got hot im not sure,but is that repairable or does it need that plastic coating around the wire? We were gona trash it but they are super expensive and ive only just bought it a year ago last july..im not sure what to do
My gf has this unit and it seems to put out a lot of water (humid here in Vancouver), is normal cooling mode supposed to have both drain plugs on the unit? Does water accumulate in the unit if you have both plugs sealed and then you have to drain it every now and then? The manual isn't clear on this. Thanks
Hello, the bottom drainage outlet should only be drained when the code P1 appears on the display. It has a tank at the bottom, holding about half a liter of water. The bottom drainage outlet is solely for condensate from the air conditioner. According to the manual, the P1 code will not disappear, and the air conditioner will not cool until the water is drained from the bottom outlet. The top outlet is for dehumidification but also for draining condensate from the upper evaporator during cooling, and it must be permanently connected to a hose leading to a container or directly to a drain. This is how it works with my air conditioner. th-cam.com/users/shorts9Ms7B4tUAFI
like how they make stuff and don't think about you have to clean it . I took with cover off and cut all the horizontal fins out of back and ,left the vertical ones in and uses some plastic mesh from the hardware store with stick on Velcro to hold in place so don't have to take apart to clean next time .
Anything have a comment thank you anyway for your likes, also drop the comment below guys don’t be shy. So I can answer your questions you have. Tha2ks
@@bialask if youre worried about that, you could buy a small piece of screen at a hardware store and install it at the end of the tube. Bugs cannot get in when the unit is working of course. I wouldn’t worry too much about it.
thank you, I havr a similar (Frigidaire) and I hear a sound that I wanted to check out and I removed every screw but I just couldn't open it, I need a prying thingy but what I did was to clean it the grill with tha vacuum and straw 🥤 😁 but now I know what I need thanks
Yes, you neglected to mention after I what looks like beat the 🤬 out of my air conditioner… You never said anything about the two screws that are on the sides at the bottom. Now it looks like a shark tried to eat at my air conditioner!

you kept me from busting my Housing Thank-you for your time and effort to help

It's much easier to pull the cover off starting from the bottom, near the water outlet. No need to pry. Just pull from near the bottom of the cover.
Omg. Thank YOU. I knew there had to be a way. I was scared to use a pry bar and was 2 seconds away from giving this thing a shower because I cannot stand dirt and this was naaasty inside. Thank you again.

Thanks man! You're a life saver. Excellent instructions 👍.
Be advised there are two more screws on each side on the bottom by the wheels. Other than that, great video lol! Thanks!
Nice advice lol
This^^ I spent 15 minutes trying to pry the bottom, make sure you take out those bottom screws (he already had them out before filming this video)

Thanks for this I was like wtf why isn’t this coming off !!
Note to ones self.....Read comments before getting started....I think I taught myself new cuss words
Thanks for the video.
I think you should get a piece of filter gauze and fit it to the air intake. That should fix the need to clean inside the unit.

Just practice one’s more just like me and will figure it out faster to open the unit.
Very nice. Thank you. There are 2 more screws on the bottom of the unit. Once those are removed, easy peasy.
Brother you are a lifesaver❤

Ur a huuuuuge help..I've being struggling to the point that I try cleaning it with the panel on🤦♂️
👍
That for the first timer when you open the unit. Like I said here used the plastic tools to open this unit, won’t cause cracks and damaged
Thanks, I'm pretty handy... things get more frustrating than the actual process... the oneside popped out so easily, struggle on the other...
Thank you so much for this video mines working like brand new 🙌🏾
That’s exactly how I just did mines like 1 hour ago. NYC 🗽 summer is coming. I clean mine every year around this time.
This is the same with the frigidair that has the same look nice
