QuestionHow do i clear the P1 error code on my frigidaire 8000 BTU portable A/C? this unit is brand new and out of the box came blessed with this error
Asked 8 years ago by Bill.
- Answer Mine had the same error after one day of running it. You can open the drain plug at the BOTTOM of the unit and drain out any water. that will clear the error. you shouldn't have to empty that try again unless you run it in dehumidy. if the error comes back, it is defective. i had to exchange my for the same problem. the new one works great.

QuestionIs it very noisy?
Asked 9 years ago by Bill.
- Answer It is quite loud. I have mine in my living room, when watching television I normally keep my tv on 20 (volume), with this running I need to raise to about 26-30, depending if I am running it in low fan speed or high fan speed.

QuestionHello, I just moved into a apartment I'm interested to see if this unit will work in a normal wall out let and also how many amps will it pull? thank you.
Asked 8 years ago by wrc62.
- Answer Yes. Regular 115 outlet. Draws 8 amps. Circuit breakers in houses are either 15 amp, or 20 amp. 12 amps is normal max run time load (80%) for a 15 amp circuit. 16 amps is same for 20 amp circuit. Both may have more than 1 outlet on the same circuit, so watch what else is plugged in elsewhere. Generally, this AC unit is good to use, 1 on a 15 amp with other loads as well, or 2 on a 20 amp, no other steady devices. No one actually limits the load to that guidance and runs higher loads w/o breaker popping. ThIs unit also has 3 fan speeds, (harder to find) and sleep mode.

QuestionI plan to put this unit in my sunroom and I am concerned about the noise level. All window units are too loud and drown out conversations.
Asked 9 years ago by Sam.
- Answer Most units will put out a higher noise level on a high fan setting. The lower setting on this unit is relatively quiet. The 3 setting level is louder but that is typically used for a "fast cool" situation which is not typical. Also, it depends upon the acoustics of the area being used: rooms with hard surfaces such as glass will be louder than carpeted areas. This unit has a satisfactory noise level on level 1 and two.

QuestionHow is the humidity drained from the unit...via a garden hose?
Asked 9 years ago by GailD.
- Answer Hello GailD! There are two ways to drain the water that comes into the air conditioner FFPA0822R1. The dehumidifying drain outlet is located in the middle of the back of the air conditioner and there is an additional bottom drain for the air conditioner as well. You would plug your hose into the dehumidifier drain hose outlet for proper draining and it is drained out by gravity not through a pump. We hope this information is helpful to you. –Thanks!-

QuestionHow do you stop the unit from leaking water out the drain holes while in the a/c mode?
Asked 8 years ago by SFMama3.
- Answer Under normal operating conditions keep the plugs in both the top drain (rubber plug in the black hose thread) and bottom drain (Knob with black rubber stopper at the bottom of the unit). There is and internal water tank that holds the water and it evaporates with use and goes out of the exhaust tube. Under extremely humid conditions the tank may reach a limit where the unit shuts off and shows an error code, otherwise the unit should not have to be drained or let to drip in a/c mode.

QuestionI want to use this unit only during the hot months. Since it's portable, would I be able to disconnect the ENTIRE unit, placing it in storage during the months when not in use?
Asked 8 years ago by Nomo90026.
- Answer Yes you can detach everything and compile it in storage space. However, my unit does not cool the room very well. The room is only 150ft^2 (well within the specs) and it just doesn't cool the whole room. It may be best to get a bigger unit. I am not satisfied with this unit.

QuestionHow long is the vent hose? Thinking of putting this in a garden-level room and want to make sure it can reach the window above.
Asked 9 years ago by Utopos.
- Answer It stretches to about 5 ft. Similar to a dryer hose. You can get a coupling and add to the stock vent hose if needed. However, the exhaust efficiency is lowered the more is added to the hose. Note that the stock hose is sufficiently long enough for most applications.

QuestionCan I install the window kit with the exhaust connection on the LEFT side of the window? The directions do not address this question. Also, the hose keeps popping out of the window kit whether I put it in on the right or left.
Asked 7 years ago by Frustrated.
- Answer Yes, left side is fine as long as the hose reaches and is not pulling on the window insert. It may take (2) to get the hose attached to the spacer. Before you install the hose vent, measure the rectangular spacer so that it fills the open space in the window. If you are using the extender piece, use a philips head screw driver on the (2) screws to hold the length you need in place. REMOVE FROM THE SPACER FROM WINDOW, extend an end of the hose fully and screw on the round attachment (with the wire screen), several turns so it is securely attached to the end of the hose, next, line up the (3) "L" shaped tabs with the slats on the spacer, insert and twist to lock in place (may take 2 people). Install spacer (with hose attached) in the window, close the window tight against the side flanges of the spacer, there are screws if you need to secure it more. I have not used the screws the window holds it fine. Last step, screw on the other round end attachment, several turns on the hose until it lines up with the back of the unit. Slide it to place. Hope that helps!

QuestionCan this be used in a room that has no windows and only one door? My question really is - there would be nowhere for it to vent out except into the room itself. Is this OK?
Asked 8 years ago by Nancy.
- Answer This unit must be vented to outside as expels heated air in order to cool as all A/C units do whether floor or window. You may try just an automatic shut off dehumidifier that would have to be emptied once humidity collects as water as we have this type of unit in the basement and feels like it's air conditioned in summer. Does a great job.
