What do you call the part of an AC unit that expands to provide a good fit in the window?
Question:I recently purchased an used AC unit that is is good working order but needs the part to make it fit well in the window. I need to purchase the accordian plastic/rubber that expands. What do you call that? Every where I search they require a model number. I don't have that info so I'll have to go on part name and the measurements of both the AC unit and window.
Answers:
you need the model number of the ac unit, take off the front cover,, which is good anyhow, cuz there should be a thin filter in it, get the model number and call the manufactor,
you can also google the part number and it should come up with a parts list, I always just cut a 1/4 inch piece of plywood and caulk it into place,, the bellows are crappy,
the model number is on your ac either on the back or the part that holds the filter,which is the frame in front that comes off,on the side you should see it.
You don't need a special part for that. Almost anything to fill the space will do. Plastic, plywood, masonite etc.
