Title: Similar Unit Broke After 3 Years
Review: I bought a similar AC unit (FAA055P7A) on June 6, 2008. On July 24, 2011, it started making squealing sounds whenever it ran. We were afraid to use it.Figuring that we'd have to buy a new unit anyway, I decided to open it, in the slight chance that I could repair it. These things don't just pop open. An hour later, I found that a little rubber seal on the axle that drives the fans had rotted and fallen into the centrifugal fan compartment.I don't know if that qualifies as planned obsolescence, but it amounts to the same thing. Most people would have bought a new unit. I almost did.I put it back together (minus the seal) and it appears to work fine.I should mention that, when working on devices like this, always make sure they're unplugged. And watch out for capacitors that can shock you even if the unit's unplugged.
Is the review positive or negative?
