SOURCE: We bought a 8000btu air
The A/C is small for the application. If there is any sun shining into the room it will add heat. If the room is open to other rooms the square footage it is cooling will multiply in proportion. Using a thermometer check the temperature of the air going into it and the temperature coming off of it out the grills. If the difference in temperature is 20°F or greater it is doing the job it was designed to do. If you shut it off when you leave and turn it on after the day heat has built up it will not seem to overcome it.
SOURCE: window air cond unit, several years old, doesn't blow as cold
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

Could be several things. Make sure evap coil is clear. Use a garden hose if you need to for the mud in the back. If both coils are (clean evap and condenser) Then it probally is short on refrigerant.
SOURCE: Not cooling
It sounds like it needs freon,you will have to buy a saddle valve to have a service port to do this,and a can of freon,if you know someone who can do this,it needs to be done with gauges,so not to lock the compressor up.
SOURCE: what is the amps for a Maytag window air
The label on the AC should tell you the ratings in Watts. Divide the watts by voltage to derive amps. Hence 7400 watts @ 240vac would be 30.8amps
A quick search on the internet shows that your unit pulls 618 watts while cooling and is designed for 115vac. So @110vac that is 5.6amps and @120vac that is 5.1amps... See why voltage is important?
