I have this exact same tank... hopefully i get 19years out of it

I drilled a window unit in my old house that didn't have central air. It was collecting water and making all kinds of strange gurgling noises. So yeah, I drilled. Hit the refrigerant reservoir, which made a hissing noise far more intimidating than the previous gurgling noises. Of course it no longer blew cold air. Wouldn't recommend drilling.

I drilled holes into the finned aluminum part on the back wall of the ac.....I wonder why it stopped working.

Not the case in most costal areas. Excess moisture bogs it down. Hard to dissipate moisture when it is 91% humiditities out.

You need a new system, that'll be 12k. I can live in my bedroom for 3 months for 200.

Thank you for this video, this was exactly the problem with my water heater. I watched other videos which led to them saying to replace the gas valve, but I was still not convinced. Then I saw your video and without even trying it I knew it was going to work. Thanks a lot, you saved me money.

I’m planning on stripping the wires on the pigtail of the switch end and using wire nuts. Same difference in a nutshell correct? Whether I hear back or not I’m doing this and only I am responsible for my diy shenanigans. Either way thanks for not making that a 35 min video. You the man brother!

I can't seem to find a Midea AC that has the M-shield button on it, even the ones sold on Amazon. Could you provide a link to one that you know has M-shield?

Based on tread left on that tire, it needs to be replaced rather than repaired. That said, great video. Thanks!

yes its more efficient but the AC will have a shorter life . I drill all of them !!!!!

I put one or two condensate pan tablets in the evaporator coils when cleaning the filter and in the back after spraying out the back. It seems to take care of the smell and keep the evaporator drain clear. It doesn't seem to collect much water during normal use. I live in NE Oklahoma, and the summers are generally dry here. In the spring, I spray the evaporator coil with a pump sprayer to rinse any accumulated dust off.

Yep Texas 806 area. Had to put buckets to catch d water. N empty daily. Or I’d have a swamp n foundation damaging wet on d ground. If I didn’t drill out water be blowing into my house. ! No choice but drill out bigger hole. N catch water.

Also evaporative cooling for the compressor 👍🏿

I didn't open a toddler's toy for about a year after I received, and the manufacturers already put in batteries to be "helpful". Big mistake. The positive battery contacts corroded to the point of being rusted. Vinegar helped to remove some of the rust, but using a Dremel to remove the rest of the rust revived the toy once again.

I use this ac cleaner it works great tip for cleaning these things on a regular basis these things werent really made to be taken apart. make sure unit is off what i did was cut out 4 of the airhole slot fins in the left side just big enough to get my shop vac hose thru and bam now u have access to keep this thing clean i recommend running clr overnight twice a month to keep corrosion down. If the unit is covered in crap youll probably have to disassemble and clean like he did my method is to keep it clean i do this without ever pulling it from the window. Use this methond and the outside pan part of the ac will be clean year round it will break up crap that was stuck in there too so be prepared to shop vac it a few timesnfor the first week. there is mildew in the styrofoam front side of ac u can take off the front grill and bleach clean really good and tape a rag to a big screwdriver and use it as a cleaning tool for styrofoam front area and hole.

Thanks brother You save my life 😮😮😊 adiós Ezequiel

Silly, just silly

so i screwed up today and bought the toshiba 10000 btu normal style ac its brand new out of the box woth the fan on high and the temp set at 62 its blowing 60 degree air thats not cool enough air to it should be blowing around 42 degree air as it exits the machine what temp air do these units blow i couldnt see thermometers in the video

I saw your video too late. Already drilled my units

The weep holes plug up with bugs and junk within weeks. The flinger can't keep up with high humidity. Drill it.

Youre not in florida and the humidity of the south...even withbadequate tilt and a clean new pan the water grows a mass of algae in just days clogging the slinger ..the water then runs into the house or wall. I still put a hole in to help. As a landlord i can attest that noone cares about the unit until it stops working. Usually the temp setting is too low also and the water output is way higher then.

my gas valve is really hard to turn im scared to break it :( any suggestions? im too poor to call a pro

"no, sir, we are not ... and yes, sir, that is a lot of mold on there" -- incredible video. amazingly clear and informative but also funny. thanks a ton for this.

Excelkent video! I was looking for something like this to show a friend how to fix his. Thank you ! Thumbs up. Question: Why would you heat hot water? Its already hot. Isnt it just a "water heater" ?

😂😂😂 ive def drilled 1000 of these. Once it started pouring back inside i had to compromise lol

What is the soap and water trick?

I was always taught to drill them. They always work better after draining.

some do but not all of them. just ckean the coliseum with water or preferably air.

Eventually it'll rust and break. Planned obsolescence.

The stupid part is that air conditiong manufacturers are too dumb to design the unit with drain holes. This is done on purpose to shorten unit life. So you have to go buy another one. Greed is the issue in design.

Temp coming out also has to do with ambient temp. This isn't as scientific as he thinks

Please dont use your chainsaw as a pry bar!!! Use your tools for what they are designed for...they will last longer!!!

I see the problem here. Duracell has gone to hell in a basket the last few years. I've stopped buying them because their batteries have ruined 3 devices for me and I've even had a package of Duracell AAA's leak before they were even taken out of the package. Duracell used to be a good brand but their qc or production has gone into the tank.

Hi, how about the rusty part?

Please do not put two different batteries in same thing!

Rather it be a little less efficient and not grow tons of red and green sludge. Also flinging water keeping the side of my house soaking wet along with rotting out all the A/C components way prematurely cutting its effective life in half

But the rust will destroy your aircond in 5 years

Too late....drilled into coil....ruined A/C.......

👍

WOW😮

I was going to comment but after reading a few I realized there's no sense in it. I've been around a long time and done a lot of things, and through critical thinking and reasoning I've experimented so much "Let's Run A Test' is in my DNS. But I'm not enough of a man to take the slams and dunks the Internet delivers. So my comments will go to my grave along with all the knowledge I've amassed. So my comment is "No Comment." Bye

Thanks bro

Or just get a chain saw for the price of that battery

You are putting a lot of twist on that blade in the first clip

Works fine until the water backs up and rots your window frame.

Nooo...

The music junked another video 👎👎👎👎💩💩

Dang it.

😂😂😂😂😂 a great example on how to burn a sawzall lol just because you have a bigger battery doesn't mean the tool will do better. 😂😂 I've had my dewalt sawzall for about 10 years now with the small packs and the beast runs smooth all the time. Put a big battery pack on it and run it like that, you're gunna kill the tool. 😂

ACs like these will be the clocks at night for our grandkids.
