    I appreciate this video. I'm from the South and lost my daddy a few years back so it's just my mom, myself, and my daughter. We women have to do these kinds of things. I really didn't want to have to go but a new unit!

    *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.*

    Great price and cooling off my sons room! His room was the hottest room in the house. It’s a little noisy but him being able to sleep through the night will be worth it. Installation took 2 people but went fairly easy.

    I'm gonna try this in the morning. I noticed my sons ac wasn't blowing cold air and was making a like a buzzing sound. I checked the filter and it was just covered in dust so I cleaned out the filter and the dust in the vents that I could get without taking anything apart. It still isn't blowing cold or cool air and it's still making the same noise so I'm hoping doing what you showed in the video helps. It was working fine earlier in the day but by evening I noticed it wasn't cooling.

    Bleach in a pump sprayer works wonders. Took my Dad's out today and sprayed it with bleach, used a scrub brush and the hose. It looked like new.

    this isnt new knowledge or rocket science. pretty much already figured this was what i would need to do but sometimes it takes seeing someone else do it to think "i can do that too."
    the vinegar dish soap combo was a good tip. probably would've used straight water all the way if i didnt watch this so thanks for that.

  • @linden5576

    Another idea to help with cooling. If you live in a dry climate or you have a hemostat in your home to tell you the humidity level and your home is not high humidity or very low humidity, then put a bowl of fresh clean water in front of your air conditioner.
    Air conditioning cools by taking the moisture out of the air and returning the air back into the home. So if your air conditioner is like brand new and it doesn’t seem to be cooling the air coming out of it is not very cool, check your humidity level in your room , and add a bowl of water in front of the unit

    👍🏼every time I drive past the AC when mowing I say,,"I ought to brush the crap off that thing" and itz been about 6 years maybe more and I still aint cleaned the outside. That skinny screen inside I clean before starting up each summer. Besides that thing is snap fit in them new windows and cant get it out!!

      if this doesnt work there is a switch on top of the compressor that needs bypassing or replacing.

    So many people say it's broke. No it's dirty. You have all the brain cells from the people I don't think have any. Your video needs to be a public service announcement. I take mine out and clean it every year. I'm no damsel in distress.

      You are correct. But we are being conditioned to just throw stuff away and buy another one. Im working on my polaris ranger and you cant oil or grease any bearings in it.

    Add a Willhi temp controller for your compressor so you can bring your room to 60 degrees. See your breath on a hot day.

    I washed mine out a month ago and it cooled for two weeks, I just washed out again because it was not cooling at all but it is still not cooling. About 6 year old, GE aircondition window unit push button type. Set on auto and cool but runs all the time and temp is set on 68 but says 83 in here now. Anything else I can try?

    • @SpiritoftheOutdoors
      @SpiritoftheOutdoors  2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      On top of the compressor there is a switch that turns it on and off. Bypass that switch. I used a volt meter to see where i had power when rinning and where i did not and jumped to power to the terminal that wasnt getting it and its ran ever since. I run several of theses small ac units in my pottery shops

    We did this for our other air conditioner before this one that we have now. We still have yet to clean it and will be doing that in a week or so. Its up to 109 tomorrow and its going to be in the three digits for two weeks. Its not working like it use to and we know why.

    I’m curious, I purchased a window air conditioner for a slider up and down window. But I’m wondering after you install the air conditioner there’s a gap between the two pieces of glass the original fixed window at the top in the one you slid up is there a special product that you put down between that glass to keep bugs in the air from coming through between those two Window panels of glass??? Is it something you can buy like at Walmart, Amazon or Home Depot?
    Right now, I just have like bubble wrap stuff down in there but I’m worried that Brooks will still be able to get through!
    👍 Very useful great video! Thank you so much for posting. I believe I need to wash my air conditioners. I’ve had these things for maybe seven years and they’re still running very well, but one is not cooling quite as much.

    • @SpiritoftheOutdoors
      @SpiritoftheOutdoors  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Most windows have a strip that is similar to a small brush there . Take a picture of it and go to lowes or homedepot and ask what they have
