*Totally impressive **Fastly.Cool** in my room. Wish I designed this myself. We can’t believe how quiet it is. It’s not as heavy as our last AC unit but it works more evenly and efficiently. Extremely happy with this purchase.*
This video saved me $400 to have installed. I followed step by step. The printed instructions were extremely difficult to follow. This guy is a savior. Thanks.
Update. The ac was in the window for 3 days before my dog chewed the cord. I'm now waiting for a new cord from Frigidaire ($139) and hopefully I can replace it with as much ease.
Hi I’m so happy that I came across your video because I needed help putting my ac up.. I asked maintenance worker to help me put up the ac and they had trouble doing so between me and my sons looking at your video we put the ac up.. THANK YOU SO MUCH🙏🏼❤️😀
Super helpful video! The only one I can find that goes into enough detail to actually install the unit. Throw away the useless installation instructions that come with the unit and watch this instead. We used this for our 15100 BTU unit from Frigidaire. The instructions say, "use a screw." Even though they try to label which screws are which on the inventory list, the photos do not match with what you actually have available to you. Then, there are photos for some steps, but not others. Instructions are for medium and heavy-duty units, but don't tell you when a certain step is not applicable to what you are doing.
Thank you. This was so helpful. Why they have us take apart the thing to install is beyond me. I can’t use the brackets included and bought a bracket that doesn’t need to be drilled into my rental
I've been installing A/C units in our homes all wrong. I'm so glad to have found this video. Thank you. I have the 15,000BTU and it's identical to the 18,000BTU in regards to installation. Thank you again.
I just bought the same model can't believe everything you have to do just to install it what a pain but it does work and keeps your whole house cool upstairs down basement your average person like me can't do this what ever happened to it already having this stuff installed and just putting and securing it in your window
I have a 28,000 Frigidaire BTU. There's a massive amount of styrophome in the area right behind the front panel. I'm assuming I should take that out right? There's also this black sticky foam-like almost filler material that's similar to material to fill air gaps in windows. Should I remove that as well? It's in the same area, behind the front panel.
I have an older Frigidaire 2x,xxx BTU unit. I’m looking to get a new one. The 18,000 and 25,0000 btu units have different measurements in the spec sheets online. I’m assuming it’s an error. Why would they make the units so close in size, but slightly different?
Why not just spend an extra $50 on a outer shell. Much less work and it’ll keep the inside of your air conditioner clean from leaves and outside debris.
If you need instructions to put an airconditioner in a window, you probably should hire someone to do it for you, now hooking up the 220v outlet from panel to outlet would be instructional, this isn't at all helpful to me, but i guess some people think its helpful.
I was just about to shove mine in the window like any other ac unit I've ever owned. Glad I watched this vid, this looks like a cleaner, more energy efficient install
Great video. These instructions were the same for the 15,000 BTU model and while I was initially a bit frustrated that the whole thing seemingly needed to be taken apart in order to install it, it was relatively straightforward and simple. I was able to do it without a second person, but I would not recommend it.
…I pulled my back out putting a 138lb ac/heater unit. 25,000/16,000 BTU. My back healed in several weeks. I used a hydraulic floor jack to lift it up to the window height stuffing wood up under it till I got the correct height.
I must have watched 100 videos before coming across this one! I was ready to give up! This video made it sooooo easy! I thank you from the bottom of my heart! I couldn't have done it without you and I really mean that! You are my favorite person in the world today!
I bought this AC for my garage that is approximately 400sq ft. It does an amazing job cooling the space. It runs quiet and the remote works without any issues. I’m happy with my purchase.
Thanks so much for this! You're my hero today. Trying to decipher those instructions was a nightmare, especially when doing it for the first time. You made every detail so clear, and I got mine done in no time...
Those instructions are horrendous!! Like if you’re a pro sure easy to figure out. But a bunch of different screws and no direction as to which one you use when you’re actually installing things?! Ridiculous
Honestly I can’t remember ever watching a more thorough installation video. Thanks @appliancesconnection ! The slow speed of talking is seriously helpful when trying to do things in real time. The talking through all the foam and weather stripping placement was SO helpful. The directions are absolutely horrendous on how to use it and where to
Thank you...very thorough and clearly explained...appreciate that ✨️ Outside bracket installation was alarming, as I'm installing the unit in a 2nd floor window 🫥 But no worries
I've got to share this!!! My new Frigidaire ac unit fit exactly into the old Frigidaire "outer housing" box that was already in the window. We had it switched out and cooling the room in no time. I feel very lucky!
I'm finding out when you go to install the side retainers that hold the filler panels on either side of the cabinet , it's best to pre-bore the holes with the screws provided and then you can hand insert and tighten with your screwdriver. The holds on the retainers are too small to work with without making them bigger.
I've been up down all around in every which way in and out of every page or website that has anything to do with this air conditioner and nobody has anything to do with my question. I'm trying to figure out which is on this exact air conditioning unit below the screen or filter, what is a little compartment in the top left hand corner where there's two little notches for something to go into it but I don't know what goes into it and what is it for? I've been searching almost 3 hours now trying to figure this out cuz nobody seems to mention anything about it but it's clearly right in plain sight in your video and everybody else's but nobody gives any mention as to what in the hell it's even for...
My case won’t just till the way he suggests if I install it properly and snuggle fit to window. It sits 90 degrees parallel to the ground, ideas? Is this poor design or I am missing something?
I have a room with vinyl siding and vinyl single hung replacement windows, can you install a large window unit like this in them, I don't want a portable ac because they lose efficiency no matter if they're single or double hose
Does it have a "RESET" and a "TEST" button? I know that some brands of air conditioners do, on their plug that plugs into the wall outlet. I want to hear what the "trip" noise sounds like. I want to see the buttons all of a sudden extend outward when the other button is pressed. It says I must do this every time I use the air conditioner.
I watched this video 4 times and it is so helpful for the installation of a Frigidaire window air conditioner, watched again after installation to make sure I didn't miss anything. Great Video!
Is the outside slide-in encasement from the previous, exactly preceding model (namely, the FFRE1533S , 15,100 BTU A/C compatible with the encasement of the successor model FHWW153WBE 15,100 BTU??? They are both slide in and out chassis designs. If so, it will save a lot of time and work. Please respond ASAP.
Thank you thank you thank you! You guide us through a simple step-by-step installation. Where the Frigidaire instructions were lacking you brought the expertise!
Thanks for a simple str8 fwd video. The damn instructions were typed so damn small and poorly I couldn't read them. Your video had the AC installed in 20 min.
Thankyou so much. This was the video we used to install the AC. Unfortunately on the first run I have to contact the store that I bought it from. The unit turns on but won't work. Sucks. Wish me luck. Had it 3wks
Really appreciate this video. The manual that came with it is not very helpful. Like the some other comments said Frigidaire should be paying you for this haha.
I cannot get an answer on why I had to return two of these they were shipped without the grounding pin no one can tell me why ..therefore looking at other models
Special chops for doing all that delicate work while wearing plastic-tipped gloves! My installer knew what he was doing but this helped me to see how it goes together. Thanks!
Is there a video that shows the best way to clean the coils on these? I struggled accessing the back side of the condenser coil on the fan side. It was caked with cotton wood and dust.
Ugh thank you! The installation instructions are absolutely worthless past the first couple of steps. This let me install it almost completely by myself with confidence! Just had to have my husband help lift the unit back into the cabinet at the end. They should include a link to this video on the instructions!

This was very helpful and I appreciate an installation video where the camera isn’t in the persons hand shaking as theyre trying to install something.
Frigidaire should be paying you and referencing this video in the manual, this is so much better than their crap instructions in the owners manual.
90% the Same as the 15,000 Amana unit I bought as well. Instructions are not detailed enough and even wrong in some places
Ikr
AGREED
Thank you so much for this step by step instruction I have dyslexia and my head was spinning when I had to install and these steps helped so much!
I don’t have dyslexia and I was losing it with the instructions so I can only imagine what it was like for you! Thank jeebus for this video
@@skunkhollow1 it was a journey for sure haha this was quite the help thou!

Wow! Perfect video, I was stressing out reading the instructions which eventually brought me here! Cheers big ears
Thank God for your video🙏🏽. You made it real easy for me to install mines👍!!
I just bought the same model can't believe everything you have to do just to install it what a pain but it does work and keeps your whole house cool upstairs down basement your average person like me can't do this what ever happened to it already having this stuff installed and just putting and securing it in your window
Does this go for a Frigidaire 15,000 unit as well. Or is there a different set of guidelines? Thank you!
Thank you so very much for this! Was a huge help.
I have a 28,000 Frigidaire BTU. There's a massive amount of styrophome in the area right behind the front panel. I'm assuming I should take that out right?

thank you so much for this video. seriously. great instructions.
Thank you very much, this is a helpful video.
Thanks for the video extremely helpful step by step
Hey I’m getting the 25,000 so the sleeve is going right between 2x4s and not using the accordion things .
I have an older Frigidaire 2x,xxx BTU unit. I’m looking to get a new one. The 18,000 and 25,0000 btu units have different measurements in the spec sheets online. I’m assuming it’s an error. Why would they make the units so close in size, but slightly different?
What kind of plug does it have
18:00 *Insert our Phillips head screw and washer.
Proceeds to not explain which specifics screw nor where it's being screwed into.
Are you supposed to keep the leverage cover down or keep it up for air flo?
Famous last words, "That thing ain't going nowhere."
Very helpful thank you😊
What size was your window?
I miss the part of the angel of the unit isn't to have the unit angel for rain and snow
is this a 220v?
Any AC unit over 15000 BTU requires 230V outlet. He said this was an 18000, so yes it requires 230V outlet.
yes, 220V. I have one. the plug is normal size. Not the oversized plug...fyi
Why not just spend an extra $50 on a outer shell. Much less work and it’ll keep the inside of your air conditioner clean from leaves and outside debris.
At the end if the video you didn't even plug it in and turn on the air conditioner.
If you need instructions to put an airconditioner in a window, you probably should hire someone to do it for you, now hooking up the 220v outlet from panel to outlet would be instructional, this isn't at all helpful to me, but i guess some people think its helpful.
🤣 ok big guy
After seeing this video I returned my unit.
Extremely helpful video. Never knew I could install just the casing first this changes everything!
Q
Bobbi..do you keep the air flow blades up and open or closed..put flat?
I was just about to shove mine in the window like any other ac unit I've ever owned. Glad I watched this vid, this looks like a cleaner, more energy efficient install
Wow, seriously? Can't just pop it in the window?
Great video. These instructions were the same for the 15,000 BTU model and while I was initially a bit frustrated that the whole thing seemingly needed to be taken apart in order to install it, it was relatively straightforward and simple.

I’m frustrated the installation instructions skip all of this.
How the hell did you pull the cabinet off so easily. My dad are having hell to take it out
I must have watched 100 videos before coming across this one! I was ready to give up! This video made it sooooo easy! I thank you from the bottom of my heart! I couldn't have done it without you and I really mean that! You are my favorite person in the world today!
My feelings exactly
I bought this AC for my garage that is approximately 400sq ft. It does an amazing job cooling the space. It runs quiet and the remote works without any issues. I’m happy with my purchase.
Just bought the 15000 btu model and instructions are the same. Thanks, Electrolux!
Thanks so much for this! You're my hero today. Trying to decipher those instructions was a nightmare, especially when doing it for the first time. You made every detail so clear, and I got mine done in no time...
Those instructions are horrendous!! Like if you’re a pro sure easy to figure out. But a bunch of different screws and no direction as to which one you use when you’re actually installing things?! Ridiculous
10,000 BTU Unit, do you need an outside bracket to support the unit from tipping?
Very good instructions, this makes it so much easier thank you
Just got the 24000btu and it’s the same instructions. The ones it comes with are impossible!!! Thank you so much
What about the window that slide sideway, why don’t u show me how to install air conditioner on the window that slide sideway instead of up and down
How did it work in a window that opens sideways? I just bought it and hoping it will work ok.
Easy peasy, i should be able to do all this in three weeks or so.
thanks for this detailed and well explained guide!
Honestly I can’t remember ever watching a more thorough installation video. Thanks @appliancesconnection ! The slow speed of talking is seriously helpful when trying to do things in real time.

Thank you...very thorough and clearly explained...appreciate that ✨️
Outside bracket installation was alarming, as I'm installing the unit in a 2nd floor window 🫥
But no worries
Do we not need to re-install the screws that hold in inner unit to the frame after sliding it back in?
Its optional, really
I've got to share this!!! My new Frigidaire ac unit fit exactly into the old Frigidaire "outer housing" box that was already in the window. We had it switched out and cooling the room in no time. I feel very lucky!
Thank you so much for this! Your video was super helpful! I feel like a professional HVAC guy now.

I have a room with vinyl siding and vinyl single hung replacement windows, can you install a large window unit like this in them, I don't want a portable ac because they lose efficiency no matter if they're single or double hose
@frigidaire why is there no link to this video in the instructions?!? This would make this installation so easier for customers wow!
Does it have a "RESET" and a "TEST" button? I know that some brands of air conditioners do, on their plug that plugs into the wall outlet. I want to hear what the "trip" noise sounds like. I want to see the buttons all of a sudden extend outward when the other button is pressed. It says I must do this every time I use the air conditioner.
EXTREMELY helpful video. So well explained. Thank you a thousand.
wish video was not so grainy hard to see screw pitch in these videos so i can pick right screw for bracket.
But what if there ISN'T a good tilt downwards?
Right mine doesn't tilt if installed properly. the case should be designed with a tilt if it is optimal to have it. really poor design
I need to now what the 4 screws are for the front panel is so I can get some replacement screws.
This is the most amazing and helpful step by step video by far!!!! Thank you
You didn’t remove the packing material inside the unit.
S-o you have to ruin you’re window by drilling holes in it
I’m a female what kind of screw driver is that ??
Where is drain .Fla. very humid
Wish you could install mine
WHAT SIZE WAS THE DRILL BIT TO PRE BORE THE HOLES IN THE WINDOW
This guy never answers the questions. Highly annoying.
..Thanks for talking slow. …………………………..So many TH-cam videos rush instructions
Very nice, thank you!
Thank you!!!!!

Your video had the AC installed in 20 min.
Can you tell me how I can stop the water from spraying out my AC, I have the same one you installed 15,000 btu
Thankyou so much. This was the video we used to install the AC. Unfortunately on the first run I have to contact the store that I bought it from. The unit turns on but won't work. Sucks. Wish me luck. Had it 3wks
But drilling holes in the window I don't think is a good idea. Moisture and mold will get in and damage window over time
Really appreciate this video. The manual that came with it is not very helpful. Like the some other comments said Frigidaire should be paying you for this haha.
I cannot get an answer on why I had to return two of these they were shipped without the grounding pin no one can tell me why ..therefore looking at other models
Special chops for doing all that delicate work while wearing plastic-tipped gloves! My installer knew what he was doing but this helped me to see how it goes together. Thanks!
I noticed you didn’t use the two screws on the top at the end when you installed the chassis
Should we not use those two screws?
Thank you for once again helping me to uninstall my A/C. I always need to refresh how to get the front panel off. You do a great job explaining.
Is there a video that shows the best way to clean the coils on these? I struggled accessing the back side of the condenser coil on the fan side. It was caked with cotton wood and dust.
Ugh thank you! The installation instructions are absolutely worthless past the first couple of steps. This let me install it almost completely by myself with confidence!

*Mine was the 15,100 btu unit but same installation, for anyone who got the same unit!
I changed my filter but the filter light is still on how can I turn it off sir?
wao thank you ! this was such a detailed helpful video with no cuts or fast forwarding ! thank you.
God bless this man. For a moron like myself he made it easy to put together 🙏🤝
Thank you for this easy instruction video. Quite simply the way you explained it.
And now i need the same video, but for a side sliding window... 😢
Thanks a lot sir
Your reply instantly reminded me of when lady went bazerk in Walmart 😆
I couldn't have installed mine without this video. Excellent video!
1:09....Most people would know to cut the straps.....looks like a 15 minute video is gonna be S T R E T C H E D into 40......
i personally think that you should buy a new ac at that point
Super useful instruction video! Thanks for sharing!
Excellent video and tutorial.
This video saved me alot of frustration!!!! Thank you
Why is a video in 2021 being put out at 360p....
Worked perfect 10/10 recommend
Great video!! Thank you for the detail
