    • Appliantology Live Dojo, Saturday, 4/27/2024 @10 AM ET
      27 April 2024 02:00 PM Until 03:00 PM
      5  
      All Appliantology tech members are invited to join in this workshop on all things Appliantological. 
      We have a special session planned for this one. Instead of the usual Show 'n Tell on a technical topic, we're going to post tech sheets in the comments to this Calendar Event (scroll down to see what's posted so far) and ask specific questions that can only be answered by reading the tech sheet. If you at least try to answer the questions beforehand, you'll get a lot more out of it. The tech sheet and the questions are posted in the comments section below.
      Your mission, if you should choose to accept it, is to check out the questions for each one and try to answer them ahead of time. Then come to the Dojo to see how well you did! 
      Who: This workshop is only available to tech members at Appliantology.
      When: Saturday, April 27 @10:00 AM Eastern Time.
      Where: Online via Zoom
      How:
      Click here to go to the forum topic with the registration link. If you're interested, register now. Arrive a couple minutes early to make sure your connection is working. Set a reminder for yourself for this workshop so you don’t miss it.  And check out past workshops here: https://appliantology.org/announcement/33-webinar-recordings-index-page/

Replacing Carrier Through the wall AC Unit

I have some old (1988) Carrier ac units that I'd like to replace. I've lubed the fan motors as best I can several times but inevitably they'll freeze up on the hottest day of the year. Chassis is pretty rusted as well. Model number is 51ZMA70601.

Problem is, we have a nice old place and in order to avoid carving up the wall, I'd like to just slide in a new sleeve or new unit rather than cut a bigger hole. Existing sleeve outside dimensions are 15" H x 20 1/8" W x 16 1/2 D but guessing I'll never find a new one to fit the existing sleeve.

Any recommendations?

Thanks.

SHIPPING AC UNITS IS EXPENSIVE  so go to your local motel owner and ask where he gets his units you will find he uses  a dealer nearby .with sales and service .......why by something over the internet that you cant find service for in your area ..........update : this is what happens when i just skim a post . looking at the size you want you just need a regular sized wall/window unit .... take your measurement to . sears /lowes /best buy ect ...... i does not matter anymore wnat brand you buy ( there all cheeply made )  if you want less trouble dont buy into all the bells a whistles ( no remote controls ,digital controls ect ) KEEP IT SIMPLE ....best if luck BOB

Thanks Bob. I agree that shipping would be to much. Wasn't really planning to buy online but was curious about the wisdom of trying to find one the same size versus having a bigger hole cut in the wall...
