GD Air Conditioner

[Saltheart]

When will your Air Conditioner die? When its 90 degrees for 3 days running!. Turned on the airco Thursday and it ran great...for 30 seconds , then the fan died. Now its old and has been a good performer but it sure would have been nice to get past this weeks heat wave. i already have a new one in house but did not want to install the new one in 90 degree heat! Toughest part is getting the old one out as I always build things like they were battle ships so it was a fight to get that old one loose from its attachments and out the window it went. After a breather here I will put in the new one which should be fairly easy.

Tonight , despite temps dropping to 68 or so , the relative humidity it predicted to be over 80%!

Thank you for indulging my grumpiness!

Come on, surely you've heard of Murphy's Law?

Things break or run down, or run out at the worst possible trime.
That's how the world works!
I have an AC in my bedroom that I refuse to use as it's just not a requirement for me. I survive with a window fan (and good window placement).

Of course air conditioners only croak when you need them....same as windshield wipers....they only #^&#^&#^&#^& the bed when its raining! One of those things!

Yes , of course its going to crap out when you are using it and yes you use air conditioners when its hot. Now I have gone through a lot of airco's. they eventually just don't put out nice cold air. this is the first on I ever had that simply stopped blowing any kind of air.

Anyway ,got the old one loose and pushed it out the window. , rolled it to the curb end over end from where it landed below the window , new one is in , old one was on the street 10 minutes when a "scrappy" came by and grabbed it.

All in all a good ending to an aggrevating story.
