Kenmore 25372055200 5,600 BTU Air Conditioner | Initial Checkout

[@jameswright8948]

I had this exact unit but mine was a yr 2000. Quiet and froze my room out. Ended up giving it to a friend in need who still uses it 24 years later. Its actually a 1960s whirlpool chassis design with updated components. These circa 2000 R22 units were pretty solid.

Excellent initial checkout video of this 5600 btu Air conditioner I'm looking forward to see the installation of this air conditioner soon

[@ryanstrains6446]

Nice checkout of your grandfathers kennmore air conditioner. I do agree, some if not most of the early 2000s era equipment was still pretty good before everything went to junk. This seems to run and behave very similar to the Haier unit my Grandma used before central air conditioning was installed and it was put into storage. These R-22 units from the early 2000s are great peices of equipment and I think this was likely the best any air conditioner got with the introduction of electronic controls before they went to being peices of junk.

Very strange, I guess it must of had a low charge from the factory. This made when Electrolux required WCI so they started to cheapen out a lot of these units by useing lower end components. I'm quite fond of these units, I saw lots of them growing up and half of them are still going strong.

[@brunoshow124]

Kind of reminds me of a Whirlpool I have. It works fine, but the accumulator likes to frost a bit if the room temp goes below about 70 ish. Coil never frosts, just the accumulator. I also have a WCI that acts just like this one, although it's really rough. I'm debating what to do with it.

Good ac video bro i like how it sounds and like the Startup sound on it i enjoyed the video

[@FSM_Reviews]

Yeah, around that era, LG was decent-at the very least, their compressors and magnetrons were. I have a Whirlpool microwave from December 1999, and it uses an LG magnetron. Still kickin' to this day!

[@connorm955]

My grandmother's bedroom seemed to have had a humidity issue at one time, not sure why. I think i can tell because one of the central air vents an inch toward the bottom of it is really rusty.

[@delta_cosmic]

another case of the very last decent air conditioners. I know Frigidaire also used this design or at least rebranded this unit.

[@9852323]

I have a 5000btu fedders from the same era but I have no idea what the date is because it was never printed on.

[@Banom7a]

i have the base model of one of this that I found for free and it is very heavy for a 2000s AC, also the flaps seems to broke pretty easily but otherwise it work great

[@brunoshow124]

That shroud design is a bit of a pain, but the entire bulkhead can be removed with about 2 screws on these WCI designed units. They're actually way easier to clean than most units if you go about it that way.

[@JordanU]

Removing the bulkhead is usually a whole separate challenge with the rusted screws, but I do agree that is the best way to do it.

[@brunoshow124]

@JordanU I've never had rusted bulkhead screws on these machines. The bottom one doesn't have to be removed. It's just two on the sides.

[@JordanU]

Maybe there’s something about the design I don’t understand. Will certainly have to revisit.

[@brunoshow124]

@@JordanU I could make a video if you'd like, I can usually get these units apart in 10 or 15 minutes.

[@JordanU]

@@brunoshow124 I would definitely be interested in that.

Weird looking control panel thing on it, never seen it before

[@ryanthomas49]

Since when does Kenmore have manufacturing dates? They never do it for their vacuum cleaners.

[@brunoshow124]

WCI always put dates on their ac units. Some Whirlpool made Kenmores also had dates. It seems like it's totally up to the OEM.

[@georgen.8027]

These Kenmore units were made by LG. You could actually get the exact same unit branded LG for a bit more money.

[@brunoshow124]

Not these units, these are WCI/Electrolux. The LG units were sold along side these.

[@ItsTheCostanza]

Its time to service this

[@realandrewcinque22]

Never seen this ac but looks great anyways

[@logansmokes.2762]

had a old fridgidaire one like this 8k btu my dad gave it away😢.

[@DIESELISGREAT15]

my whirlpool unit acts the same with the ice

[@JordanU]

Interesting.

[@djbrucebanner9882]
