A/C Woes: OK, I'll believe that the specifications for the A/C are untrustworthy.
Careful inspection of the spec sheet(above) from the LG website reveals that they say it's for windows 23" to 36", but say that the product width itself is 23.6". And they give the product height as 150 inches. WTF!!!???
An awful lot of squeezin' gonna be necessary.
So, I opened the box and actually measured the A/C case. It is about 23.5 inches wide without the expandable wings installed. So, assuming that it is not 150" high
then it COULD fit in the window if installed without one or both wings and made securely fastened to the window frame with a custom made blank on the sides to fill the holes. Not gonna be a simple insert/turn-on/cool type of installation.
(*Sigh*)
But at least I don't feel guilty about ordering an oversized product. I was sure that I'd checked the dimensions before ordering it. They lied, or at least carelessly exaggerated.
Not sure how far you'll get on that tack - electronic items can just randomly fail after passing a worthiness test. The question I'd be asking is HOW it was tested. Was it LOAD tested?
You know 150" is 12 1/2 feet? Nearly twice the height of a standard external door frame. I reckon you'd notice if it was that big
I'd probably try arguing that the symptoms were certainly suggestive of a PSU issue, and if the PSU then fails catastophically then that strongly suggests that it was the issue from the outset and that it was symptomatic. I agree that asking how it was tested would be sensible.
Yes, absolutely.
Complaint: And now my bedroom/computer room air conditioner stopped working. I have a small one from another room taking its place for now, but I'm going to need a bigger one for summer. This month is not going well for me.
Anybody have any good news?
Good News: Well, maybe not "good" news, but satisfactory. My A/C dilemma has taken a definite path. I've ordered a new, but smaller unit.
I'd decided that it would be too much trouble and risk to continue trying to get my still unboxed, but nearly too large A/C safely into and out of the window each year. A point I hadn't realized until the unit arrived on my porch last fall. One man can lift an 8000 BTU unit, but would take two to lift and secure a 12,000 BTU unit. Also, the smaller unit wouldn't require special support brackets or modifications to the window casing. Now the problem is finding a local buyer for a 12,000 BTU A/C unit.
Our local "Penny Saver" advertising newspaper has gone out of business, so I'll probably have to do some sort of Internet based advertising, which I am totally inexperienced with and am loathe to do.
And since the old unit (Amazon priced this year at $480) is already completely paid for (I paid $410 total) and the new unit is cheaper ($302 total) I can put a reasonable price on the bigger unit and still might come out ahead (or at least close to even) in this fiasco.
The new (8000 BTU) unit will arrive on my porch next Tuesday. Yay! Yesterday was an 80F day, today was an 88F day here, but tomorrow and into early next week are projected to be only mid-70sF. Yay! Summer here is brief (late May through late July) but can be stifflingly muggy. Especially on the 2nd floor of this house with inadeqate insulation in the roof and poor ventilation.
Bad News: Two nosebleeds in the last three days.
But they were small and quickly stiffled.
Grrr..., $#@%@#$& double post.
Good news: 51 degrees today, overcast, and a very pleasant amount of wind. Little Dude was in paradise on our walk, greeting the gusts with laughter and waving arms. Bonus: the trees are finally all leafed out, so we can enjoy the sound the wind makes going through the leaves.
Also, only four more days until the rental area at the lake recreation area on our route opens for the summer. I don't care about the rentals, but they sell ice cream treats every year, and that makes Teen Kiddo very happy. We don't get ice cream trucks around here, so it's the closest I can do to make up for it. (And yeah, it would be cheaper to buy a box at the store, but memories are worth it, and the money goes to the park system, which I expect could use it. We have a really nice park system in Minnesota, and I would like it to have the funds it needs to keep being awesome.)
Nice to hear some good news. That's put me in a better mood now. I'm happy for you both.
Also the little air conditioner has finally kicked in, and it's at least cooling down in the bedroom part of the room. It's an en suite bedroom/office/ bathroom with open doorways between each section (not as fancy as it sounds), so it's hard to cool the whole thing. But it's trying. Plus while it was in the 90s today, it's supposed to cool down to the 50-60s later this week, so I have some time before I have to get a bigger one.
