Tools and Hardware Reviews of Frigidaire FAA065P7A 6,000 BTU MSII Air Conditioner with Electronic Controls
Customer Review: No Drain!
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased this 6K BTU unit and a 12KBTU unit just like it about one month ago to go into my mothers house.
The units work very well as far as cooling capacity however the 6K BTU unit has NO DRAIN hole!
It has poured 10 inches of rain in TN over the past two weeks and the water pours into the unit through the vent holes on the top of the unit.
The pan then becomes full of water. This unit has one fan motor that turns the fan blades that push air across the condensor on the outside and a blower that pushes cooled air out into the room.
The blades on the fan that cools the condensor hits the water that is laying in the pan preventing it to spin properly.
Twice I have had to remove the unit and pour the water out. Its full again!
I dont want to drill a drain hole because I think it is designed to "sling" condensed water from the evaperator onto the hot condensor to aid in removing heat from it.
The goons in their R and D never thought about rain water getting in the unit I suppose.
Think Im going to go ahead and drill the hole and hope for the best.
Customer Review: Noisy!
Summary: 2 Stars
Great price! The first week the unit was fairly quiet but then started getting louder. Strange clanks and grunts are appearing. The temperature gauge will show only the "Set" temp. and not the room temp when in the cool mode.

Customer Review: Not Draining, Water Smell,Noise
Summary: 2 Stars
The unit manages to cool quite a large room and with little noise. It blows cold air properly but even after I repositioned it five or six times I cannot get it to drain properly and it smells bad (stale-like) and I hear the water gurgling inside.Customer Review: Pleasantly surprised
Summary: 4 Stars
I was nervous to buy a window unit because after reading all the reviews on Amazon I expected to plug it in and have it not work, sound like a tank, drip everywhere, etc. At first I thought my nightmare had come true (I really didn't want to have to deal with shipping it back) because when I first turned it on, it wasn't working. But I opened it up and found that inside, one of the fan blades was wedged up against some of the metal piping inside. I pushed the pipes aside about an inch and freed the blades. Now it works like a charm.
I really like the unit. It sounds like an air conditioner; the noise is a perfectly sensible hum/rush. Air is cold. Remote control is a nice plus. Easy to install. Good stuff.
Customer Review: Provides good cooling
Summary: 4 Stars
Bought two of these. Some people say that they're too loud but I disagree. Noise is reasonable and the units do a good job cooling.
