With 3 cool settings, 3 fan speeds and 8-way air direction control, this Frigidaire FFRE06B3Q1 window air conditioner lets you regulate the temperature in an area up to 250 sq. ft. An on/off timer allows you to program settings up to 24 hours in advance.
Q: How loud is the "splashing" noise?
A: This model is defective by design--the water that is slung appears to smash off of the inside of the case, as well as the condenser (don't ask me how), causing intolerably loud noise that you will not, and should not, tolerate. Don't buy it--you'll simply end up returning it.
Q: What type of electrical plug in is needed for this unit ?
A: Thank you for connecting with us and your inquiry submission. The required power plug for air conditioner model FFRE06B3Q1, is a 5-15P, 125 Volt, 15 AMP plug. The power cord is equipped with a three-prong grounding prong; it is not recommended that you use extension cords. We hope this information is of assistance. Feel free to contact us directly via the Q&A forum on this website. -Best Regards-
Q: Is there a problem with the Econ mode thermostat?
A: Seems to be a common problem with econ mode on most units. The temperature delta they have to see in order to kick the full system back on is too high. Sometimes they seem to work well, but usually they end up causing the temperature in the room to fluctuate far too much, rather than keeping it consistent. It's a pain, but you are probably better off just to keep putting it on cool mode. If your AC unit literally never kicks on the condenser when you have it in econ mode though, I would say yours probably does have an issue.
Q: Does this have the energy saver i.e. stop the AC when desired temp is reached.
A: Yes. It has a energy star label on the face plate and rated 11.2. User can use the Econ mode to set the temperature he desired.
Q: Can I buy the mounting hardware only for this AC somewhere?
A: www.e-replacementparts.com or Frigidaire
Q: Loud "rattling" when compressor isn't running?
A: Check to see if the front grate where the air filter is located is loose. While the AC is rattling simply hold your hand against the grate. If the noise stops you have found your problem. You can then switch to a thicker spongy filter that will take up the excess space. Hope it helps.
A: Yes, but you are not supposed to. This and most modern AC units are designed to fling water collected into the pan onto the AC condenser. This is to increase cooling efficiency and save some energy. In my experience, it can also be quite noisy. That said, you can drill a hole in the pan, provided you know where to drill. You can also put absorbent material at the back of the unit laying into the collection pan to allow water to wick into it and drip out the back of the unit. However, you simply aren't supposed to with this kind of unit, and I'm sure it could void your warranty as well. After warranty, I don't think it will actually harm the unit if you do wish to drain the water, it might make it a little less efficient, but probably a lot quieter.
Q: Can a window AC be mounted through the wall?
A: They do not recommend it, but I have mine mounted in the wall. Just make sure you tilt the unit so the water drains out the back. If not it will drip water inside.
