QuestionThe water “pinging” from fan throwing water against the condenser is so loud this unit is not usable. Installed exactly to specs, level to slight outside tilt, nothing helps. Outside drain plug pulled. It’s brand new. Ideas?
Asked 3 years ago by DaveP.
- Answer Same. I was sold on the ultra quiet aspect but it sounds like it’s raining outside it’s so loud. Drained three times already and I installed it today. Slight tilt to the outside as well and plug removed. Buyers remorse on that aspect no doubt.

QuestionI just bought and installed this AC today, I had running for 2 hours and it did not blow cold air at all. Doesn’t sound like the compressor is on?? Air temp blowing is 79 degrees.
Asked 3 days ago by Cori.

Questionbox damaged & stored on side.installed unit & does not get cold enough.seems like compressor does not always come on.tried to put the temp to lowest setting & fan on high but temp was still at 68.is this a sign it was damaged before i got it?
Asked 9 months ago by Gmega.
- Answer We do not advise to place the air conditioner on its side or upside down. This placement could cause damage to the mounting of the compressor. If on its side or back for more than a day, leave it in an upright position and unplugged for 24 hours. To best address your delivery and damage concerns, please reach out to Best Buy support by calling 1-888-BEST BUY (1-888-237-8289) or by visiting the Support Center at the Best Buy website. -- Regarding your temperature concern, we suggest checking out the “Air conditioner does not cool as it should” troubleshooting section on page 16 of the Owner’s Manual, which can be viewed at the bottom of the Features tab on the product page of the Best Buy website. If those tips don’t help, see page 21 of the Owner’s Manual for warranty exchange information. Lauren@GEAppliances

QuestionWhy would you want water to collect onto the outside unit for the fan to do whatever it is you say for efficiency purpose? Doesn't that just now start a mold problem?
Asked 11 months ago by LifeisGood.
- Answer It is normal for water to collect on the inside of your air conditioner. Both the inside and outside of the unit will need to be drained. If you'd like, you can view more on this on page 8 of the Use and Care manual under the Features tab on the product page. Regular cleaning and draining will keep your unit mold free and working as efficiently as possible! -Kacie@GEAppliances

QuestionHow flexible is the left side filter? It will be located at a corner with a wall on the left side. Is it sufficient to just clean the front filter? Also, how tall (height) is the bridge / saddle itself (the part that goes through the window)?
Asked 1 year ago by Hindsight2020.
- Answer The side filter is flexible and needs approximately 5" to be removed and reinstalled. Both the front and side filters help capture dust and dirt to keep it from getting on the evaporator. It is important to clean both filters. The saddle is approximately 4" high.

QuestionHow tall is saddle or bridge portion of the unit? In other words, how far would a typical window stick up because of it? I’m trying to determine how many jalousies I need to remove for this as well as spacers so unit doesn’t sit on the ground.
Asked 1 year ago by Hindsight2020.
- Answer The minimum height from the window sill to the floor is 10" per the Installation Instructions. So, as long as your window meets that height requirement, the unit won't sit on the ground.
