Melvin P Shawnee , OK June 20, 2014 Appliance: Model 2014 FRIGIDARE 18,000 BTU WINDOW UNIT The fan blew up in my frigidaire ac My wife insisted that our new Frigidaire 18,000btu window unit wasn't draining water like she thought it should. She insisted I drill a hole in the bottom of the unit to allow the water to drain because she could hear it splashing around in the unit. (Heaven forbid that Frigidaire didn't know what they were doing when they built the cabinet for the unit). So of course, no one's happy if the wife's not happy, I did what she wanted. When I drilled the 1/2" hole into the bottom of the cabinet the bit went too far into the cabinet and a horrific noise came from within the unit. I just knew that I had drilled a hole into a gas pressure line. After calling many AC repair centers and getting no help, I decided to see what I might be able to do to fix the unit. When I took the cabinet off of the unit I discovered the noise was actually the plastic fan had been destroyed. I called Frigidaire to get the part and was told the fan was out of stock and it would be about two to three weeks for the fan to be shipped.

Efrain D White Oak , TX March 28, 2014 Appliance: Frigidaire Room Air Conditioner FRA18EMU211 Broken fan on Frigidaire air conditioner Looked on the Internet for the part. Several places had the part but only on special order. AppliancePartsPros.com had it on hand and at a very good price. They claimed that the average regular shipping time was 1.7 days (or something like that), and sure as heck, I ordered it Saturday night so the soonest they could possibly ship it was Monday. I received it Tuesday morning, so it actually took less than a day and a half. Replaced the fan and the air conditioner is working like new now.
