Do-It-Yourself Story

This was a old Kenmore 12,500 BTU window unit with a slide out case. I recommend two people to remove from case (heavy). After removing from case, remove top panel over air outlet and control panel (two or three screws) accessing wiring for compressor. Using a screwdriver short out capacitor terminals to the case to make sure it is discharged. Remove red and white wire from capacitor to compressor and black wire from control board to compressor, noting positions for reinstall. Remove two screws on each lower side at base pan,two screws on either side of condenser, one next to compressor at pan, one or two on front of evaporator and lift entire fan assemble and shroud up to access fan blade. Install new blade and reassemble.
