MAJOR Design 101 Flaw discovered in All Windows mounted units in my home where I use them as Zone Cooling for bedrooms so that I do not need run Central Air system constantly or as hard. What is the Design Flaw? Water from the Evaporator Coil upfront where it condenses the water out of the air drains into the bottom tray and then exits the tray at the far right corner into the bottom pan of the unit. That water combined with rain water... HAS NOWHERE TO GO. It sits there until it finally builds enough water height to drain out of a raised edge drain hole in approximate center of the unit. The water that is TRAPPED in the pan causes Multiple Issues. 1) Health Hazard from stagnating water to result in Sick Building Syndrome. The water evaporates back into the room as the unit outside is exposed to heat and sun. Black mold grows using the water as a source of continuous moisture present. ALL of my 4 units had Black Mold Growth throughout them. Cleaning the filter is NOT the cause. It is the continous presence of water from removing the humidity in the air such as encountred in Texas and then of course rain, etc. 2) Ants and bugs use it as a source of water. They invade your home even at the 2nd floor 3) Accelerated Corrosion of entire unit with all components in constant water bath resulting in premature destruction of unit and integrity of steel bottom due to Rust. One unit literally had the bottom fall apart when touched with only the paint holding it together?! 4) They pose a Safety Hazard to anyone below them or Handling them because there is the potential for Failure to fall due to the accelerated corrosion and rusted bottom no longer able to suppor the weight of the components such as the coil, compressor, fan, etc 5) Safety hazard created by all of this that can lead to an Electrical Fire and Water Damage to the building. I had water coming out the front of the pan back in the room when the black mold growth plugged the drainage hole and all of the biological growth occurring in the bottom of the main pan?! All of this was a SIMPLE DESIGN FLAW. They are Missing 1/2" Drainage Holes in the bottom pan where it was clearly designed to be a Sump for water to collect right behind the bottom right evaporator coil drain pan hole. This was discovered on multiple units dating back to 2008 including a Brand New Unit received this week of Oct 2020. When I called Frigidaire, their response was to vacuum it out?? Hello... they need to Add Holes. I recommend anyone reading this to Drill the missing holes yourself also in existing units. Black Mold, Biological Growth, Bugs, Safety Hazards Galore. Frigidaire and Arctic King (Rebranded Frigidaire Unit) All had this Fatal Design Flaw.
