Questions & Answers

how many amps does this pull on start up? It keeps tripping my breaker.
ByAug 21, 2025
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

Hello, Moxie. Thanks for reaching out to us. This model typically draws about 8.8 amps during normal operation (cooling mode). It features low voltage start-up, which helps reduce the initial surge of current when the unit starts. However, the exact start-up amperage isn't explicitly listed in our product specs, but inverter air conditioners generally have lower start-up amps compared to traditional units. - Maria

                  Severe mold and no support by manufacturer
                  The unit cools about half the area it claims but it has lasted 2 years. The control panel does not work consistently, and some functions require the remote. My biggest concern is the mold build-up on the interior of the unit. It can't be reached without disassembly, and even though the label says Frigidaire/Electrolux they won't help you because it's a Whirlpool product. The phone number on the manual is incorrect. You cannot reach a human at Whirlpool.

                  Response from FrigidaireSupportOct 27, 2025
                  Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience with your Frigidaire unit, valued consumer. I completely understand your frustration. It sounds like you’ve had several challenges with this unit, limited cooling performance, inconsistent control panel functionality, reliance on the remote for some features, and concerns about mold build-up inside the unit. I can certainly appreciate how concerning that mold issue must be, especially given how difficult it is to access for cleaning.

                  While I’m glad to hear your unit has lasted two years, I understand that the ongoing issues you’ve described can make using it stressful and inconvenient. Regarding the label noting Frigidaire/Electrolux but directing you to Whirlpool, I understand how confusing that can be, particularly when the phone number in the manual is incorrect.

                  Here’s what I can suggest:

                  Live Chat Support: Please reach out to us via Live Chat on our website, where our team can provide guidance and help troubleshoot these issues in real time.

                  Customer Support: You can also contact our Customer Support by dialing 1-800-374-4432, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. EST. Our team can assist you with questions about mold removal, control panel troubleshooting, and other concerns.

                  We truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve our products and support processes. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention, and I hope we can help resolve these issues so your unit can perform as intended.

                  Have a great rest of your day! - Maico Frigidaire

                    Gaps on the bottom, does not cool well.
                    I had a 2004 Sharp 12,000 BTU window air conditioner that cooled my 700 square foot apartment very well. It was like having central air conditioning. I retired that unit due to mold buildup on the foam inside. I thought this Air Conditioner would cool as well or better than the Sharp unit, but I am disappointed as it did not cool the place down well at all. Also, when installed, the side panel supports on the bottom create gaps between the unit and windowsill, and a lot of air is lost that way.

                      Excellent AC!
                      We have a large home with 2 central AC units but our bedroom is always a lot warmer than the rest of the house. We’ve tried varies things but decided to try this unit for our bedroom/ bath suite at night. To save energy we turn the thermostat up for the rest of the home at night. It’s amazing & we love it. It cools quickly & incredibly quiet. The variable compressor (inverter) technology is wonderful. No loud surging of compressor kicking on or off. It was easy to install and looks nice.

                          Fall installation
                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm rating the great features more than the functionality, only because we installed in late October and haven't been able to actually use it yet. It is super quiet, cold very quickly and I love the wi-fi option! This went into a 10x12 shed we upgraded into a spa treatment room. The ceiling (roof) is about 15 feet high at the peak; so it's actually a larger room than the avg flat roof. I also mounted it about seven feet high, so a remote (or wi-fi) was a must to operate.

                            Does the job with aesthetics
                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super efficient and does the job. Cools down my room in a matter of minutes. The wireless/app function that the AC comes with is also pretty cool and useful! I’m so happy I ordered this AC and haven’t run into problems. I also enjoy the modern look of it and managed to install the AC onto a horizontal sliding window. Just keep in mind that it’s quite a chunky AC.

                              Love the silence
                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Frigidaire did a great job with this unit, I highly recommend it. Does a great job of quickly cooling my living room, plus the silence is a game changer for me. Never going back to the loud old units. Plus the added WiFi control makes it easy to cool the area before getting home and then there's the added bonus to prank your love ones remotely :P

                                Really quiet, but smells. Was the unit new?
                                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] this unit is really quiet and works well, but whenever the unit blows air with only the fan, it has this thick musty air coming from it. It was there since the very beginning (I bought it brand new), and I thought that it would get better as time went on, but the smell persists. Oh it also did have some scratches on the bottom of the unit even as I opened it from the box.

                                Hello Joshua7kim. Thank you for your feedback. For us, it’s essential to hear how our products are performing. When the air conditioner is on the Fan setting it will recirculate the air currently in the room, not from outside. If you would like to speak about these matters with us directly, please give our customer service team a call at 1- 800-374-4432 Mon - Fri, 8:30am - 8pm (EST) or via Live Chat at Frigidaire.com. Kindly, Anna
