We have a 10 000 BTU Kenmore air conditioner in our apartment building. It has always worked fine but today we found when we turned it on and all day it is barely blowing any air no matter what temperature and speed, the room is still hot . Any idea what could cause this? Our air conditioner faces out onto a neighbour's balcony so we can't take a look at the other side. Is it possible something blocking it could cause this? or what would be the common cause of little to no air coming out? Thanks , Erin

    I shut it off all night and yesterday we cleaned out the filter. It is on again but the air is only coming out cool not cold.

    Thaks for getting back to me with your problem. remove the filter and check the coil and see that its clean. If not you can vacume it off. If it is then you will have to either remove the unit and take a look at the outside coils and check them , though i doubt there is any problem . If the coils are clean and the fins are not bent and the fan is working properly ( all of which will require you to plug it in -inside the apartment) I would bet your unit is about to give up the ghost or has leaked freon some how. You can tell if you have leak by looking for oil any where on the unit . it won't just be a spot but quite a bit of oil. either way I think this will be more then we can solve here online as you will need equipment to check it futher . let me know though what you find if you pull the unit out to look at theoutside coils.

I purchased two Artic King 10,000 BTU Air Conditioners. The base of the units on the exterior of the building build up with water up to about 1 deep when it rains or running. Why is there no drain?

If you look inside the exterior part you should see a copper tube(part of the refrigeration tubing) that rests horizontally under this water. The water cools the freon inside that copper tube. That's why some models don't have a drain there.

What are the dimensions of the vertical window slider kit that comes with the NEWAIR AC-10000E 10,000 BTU PORTABLE Air Conditioner and does it extend to at least 60 inches in height. If not, where do I...

Just build on out of wood and paint it. It will have better insulation than those cheap sliders that get sun beaten and let insects in. Build one out of wood and caulk the edges it will look better and work better.

AC was cooling fine. Now, won't cool room even though cool air comes out. Exhaust hose is extremely hot.

Check filter, if you have a 5000BTU unit (small) and it is extremely hot, then it wont work great for a big room. BTU is the rate of what the AC will put out. 5000 BTU is good for a small single room. 10,000 will cool a bigger room and 18,000 btu is meant to cool a home.

Need support brackets to cure NYC facade law issue

I have the same problem with a 10,000 BTU unit. The installer told me to get an AC-080 support bracket. It's $30 at Home Depot. It is total BS that they didn't tell us we needed the bracket in the first place and now want to charge $160 to install it since the A/C has to be removed and reinstalled in the process. The warranty on installation is only 30 days. I'm still going to try to get them to do it for free.
