Danby Window air conditioner -Deafening beep

Hello, some window units do not use a drain tube instead they use the condenser fan blade to scoop the condensate from the bottum of the base pan and splash the condenser coil to keep the condenser cool and also evaporate the condensate. Most of the time you can hear a "swishing sound"

Does it still cool? It maybe the compressor has come lose from its mounting gromets. You will have to pull the unit back to check it .. let me know if this helps .. good luck with it Jon

Hold the up and down arrow together it will let you switch it to F or C

replace the fan blade then clean the unit to get a very good condition

If this is the Danby 8003 you mentioned, here's a link to the unit's manual. That should get you what you need. Good Luck!

Usually a panel will unscrew or pull out from the air stream and the filter is behind this.

You would have to call the manufacturer at 1-800-26-danby.

If a sleeve came with it then it should be used unless you are replacing a unit and the existing sleeve is properly mounted. Then sleeve should have a slight backward angle so that condensation does not drain into the living space.

window mount doesn't have to extend out on the back to clear the side /top intake vents because a window is about 2" thick,
but a wall mount has to have about 6 to 8 " clearing before the intakes vents can be exposed. you can't have your intakes buried in the wall.
in short if you see about 8 " of dead metal in the center area (just behind the window sill) then you can mount it in a wall as it will protrude far enough to clear the side /top intakes.


a sleeve just gives you a way to balance / attach to the outside wall
