I have a whirpool window a/c and heat unit. The model number is ACE184XL0. The unit is 8 years old. It no longer cools the air like it use to. The unit heats well. Do I have realistic repair alternatives? I have been told the window units have no easy way to re-charge the freon and it is cheaper to replace it.

U do not have control over the temperature of the air; you can control how long the compressor operates with the thermostat. A longer running time equates to a cooler room.
Clean condenser out to maximize efficiency and cooling.
It is imposible to tell you the capacity of the unit without some kind of numbers to find out what it is. They made more than one unit 25 years ago. The numbers off the compressor may help to find the size of the unit. Please try and find some sort of model or serial number, compressor number, fan motor number something that can be cross referenced.
Is it giving cool? If yes, to solve heat problem, set th temp +5 degree than your room temp and mod in " Heat". If no heat and no cool means check your compressor is working.
ck for ice in back of freezer / it sounds like the defrost heater has failed of a evap fan. ice may be blocking coil or the fann is not moving the air .. ****
The problem with window units and any service tech will tell you it cost more to repair than you can buy at Walmart or home depot. Unless you know someone who can charge it for you. Window units are a sore subject. A 200 dollar window unit might cost 200 dollars to charge system. SORRy rusty
