Shonky workmanship

[Felder]

Why is the unit mounted on a 45 degree angle? :confused:

Nah - the AC is fine. I think the wall is on an angle.

[Wongo]

Now I am confused!!:confused:

Just went outside to look at the other 2. The vents face up on side and down on the other side. Shouldn’t it be facing down on both sides?? Clearly they are made that way but why so? Heavy rain in Sydney like last night will fill it up very quickly and the hole at the bottom doesn’t work fast enough.

Does anyone have an explanation?

Also my apologies to the electrician who installed them years ago.

Wongo,

I'd guess it is a faulty unit - mis-stamped at the factory?

Chris

ps. Thanks for the greenie

[Wongo]

Oh, I might have to cover it with something otherwise it will keep happening.

[elphingirl]

Good luck with it Wongo - ta for the greenie!
Cheers

Just went outside and looked at my Kelvinator and the side vents are stamped one up the other down, but as its under the eaves and installed level there is no problem.

Everyone knows that airconditioning is most efficient run at 24°, perhaps they were trying to double the efficiency?

is that true Balding Midge ? I assume wrt cooling efficiency on the machinary it may be, but on a hot day 24 deg is still too freaking hot....

Go back and look at my first reply.
Does not matter where the water comes from, it can not get out with the drain hole above the water.
Dave..

[Wongo]

But David the drain hole isn't above the water.:confused:

It will be when you rip the ugly, wonky, badly made pos out and use it for an anchor.

Thanks Jack.

Still dont know why though.

[woodbe]

Only think I can think of is that it's an attempt to stop the AC from recirculating the heated air back through the coil by creating non-symetrical airflow patterns on each side of the unit.

In any case, it's daft...

Oh.
On mine the drain hole is in the middle of the bottom.
Thought yours would be similar.

Time for a little awning me thinks
