Tools and Hardware Reviews of Frigidaire FAK104R1V 10,000-BTU Slider/Casement Air Conditioner with Electronic Controls
Customer Review: Busted plug in
Summary: 3 Stars
When I received this item it had a busted plug in. It is a circut breaker plug in. It was cracked and I don't think it was from the shipping. I cut it off and put on a different plug and it works but it is not the plug in that is suposed to be on it. I wrote Amazon a email about it but did not receive an answer. I would probaly not buy another item like it from Amazon. Dean Boe dboe@rtconnect.netCustomer Review: Arrived Damaged
Summary: 3 Stars
The A/C unit arrived damaged. The container was not properly padded at all, so it comes like this from the factory. The metal was bent. We had UPS pick it up and ship it back to Amazon.com. About 10 days later, Amazon refunded the money. I never got to see how the unit works. If they just put a little more care into packaging, I would have a brand new unit and Amazon would have their moeny!Customer Review: DOA. No quality control, no service
Summary: 2 Stars
Got this through Amazon. Amazingly quick delivery even with free delivery option. However your mileage may vary. The unit arrived with stuck fan inside. The fan is made of plastic and to reduce noise they balance it by attaching small metall clips. The clips were attached so poorly, that fan simply stuck after producing a sequence of loud clicks.
I have called the Frigidaire and got a phone of their authorized warranty service provider. There is only one provider in Boston, MA area. Tried to call the company multiple times but was greeted by voice mail. No calls were returned.
Finally I have removed the cover and repaired the fan myself. However it is pretty obvious that people at Frigidaire plant did not ever try to turn the air conditioner on after it was assembled, or even worse - they knowingly packed faulty unit.
Otherwise it is just an average AC with performance and noise level you should expect from window mounted AC.
Customer Review: This Model IS NOT Energy Star Rated!
Summary: 2 Stars
The Amazon.com product description stated that this model was Energy Star rated and it is most definitely not. Only the 8,000 BTU unit is. Very disappointed that I have to go through the time and hassle of repacking and returning such a large and bulky item. To Amazon.com's credit, they responded promptly within an hour or so (on a Sunday no less) to my online return request, and said that because the product was not as advertised, that I will not have to pay for return shipping. I should also mention that we already own two of the 8,000 BTU units and they are MUCH quieter than this one. We'll see how the return process goes...Customer Review: Weird Clicking Noises at First
Summary: 2 Stars
I just received this unit, had it installed... turned it on and left the house... Returned to a lovely cool room and the air-conditioner making annoying low level clicking sounds... I am hoping this might go away...The idea of having to remove the unit is almost too painful to contemplate...
UPDATE: After 3 days of constant use, the clicking noises on my unit stopped and the air conditioner has been working great every since. I wish they would let me add stars to my review, but I dont seem able to change my original rating...
