I was just wondering how to clean the filter on my Maytag window air conditioner. I saw somewhere that they need to be cleaned and don't know how to take the filter out to clean it, or exactly where it is. Can't find my manual. Also, I need a remote control.....used is fine as long as it works. The number on the back of the remote is: 11-21-500-10-003 Thanks for any help.......

M's Kitty . I can't help you with the remote But I might be aboe to help you with the filter service.
If you look behind the front cover you can see the coils with a spong type filter infront of it. You might have to remove the whole cover to get to it and sometimes there is a door of sorts to allow access. shut the unit down and remove the filter and wash it out with warm soapy water and replace it. and restart the unit. and your off and running again.. You should check your filter at least bi weekly unil you see that remains clean and you might get by with a monthly inspection .. Hope this helps .. Let me know have a good day .. Jon
