- A Montgomery Ward branded, Fedders manufactured, 11,500 BTU air conditioner model LFE-6112. The unit was made in April of 1989, making it likely to have been sold during the Summer of '89. It has an EER of 9 and is allowed to draw up to 12 amps. It utilizes a Rotorex rotary compressor with 39 ounces of Refrigerant 22.
This machine was given to me by Vann earlier this year. It is in near mint condition and appears to have never been used. It runs very nicely and is very quiet for the size. The evaporator is 4 layers thick and has a nice refrigerant sound to it. The fan motor has one of the best startup sounds I've heard. - Наука та технологія
Really cool Startup Sound bro I enjoyed the video of this vintage ac
I Absolutily love the start-up sounds of the fan on this Air Conditioner. It is one of the best I have ever heard of a Fedders product. Seems to work well for an 11,500 BTU machine. Kind of reminds me of your 14,000 BTU Fedders that you have with the grill and design. Hopefully one day we will get to see that unit in action somewhere in the house with a 20 amp circuit installed. The nice machine you have their Jordan and hopefully it will last for decades to come.
Thanks for letting me know.
Really enjoyed the classic start-up sound from the compressor love these older A/C units good video bro
Glad you enjoyed it.
Nice quality unit. The thing with the same amount of condensation is a bit peculiar. Great video and I enjoyed the closeup of the squirrel. He/she needs to keep off your lawn though.😁🦔
My grandmother still has one here in the south where it gets hot works like new 😊
These were excellent quality machines, they last a long time.
Glad you have it so the unit can actually get some use finally. I picked this up in Saugerties a couple years back. I always use a step bit to drill drain holes at the lowest point in the pan. Will let you and Kevin fight over what happens with it next..
I'll pass it along to him when he has a use case for it. He has more nostalgia for this particular model than I, so it's only right for him to have it.
Really like the sound of that one running just as i remember them back in the day there's so many variations of them i like that one particularly maybe one day one will show up for sale in my area definitely considering one of them over a modern piece of junk
That was funny when you yelled at that squirrel. 😂
Thanks for letting me know.
this fedders is a pretty good looking
window ac
nice video
I have a 10K Airtemp unit from 87 that sounds identical to this one. Excellent AC. It has a 3 speed motor with only 2 speed selector knob. I bought a 3 speed selector switch and un capped the medium speed motor lead. Now it's 3 speed but the face plate doesn't match the fan speed. Oh well, definitely a keeper and useable. Just curious to why the compressor sounds very gritty on this era of these ACs..
The compressor sounds smooth to me on this one.
Jordan did you say you did not like how the units blow straight not up does that unit suffer from that issue
I don't understand.
I like it
OK
how do you replace a capacitor on a 1996 Goodman window ac
because the the Goodman window ac I got was from the dump and it has
a bad capacitor and I'm trying tnot to blow my hand off replacing it
with a parts goodman window ac
any advace
do you have a replacement capacitor for it?
@@BigeSnek going to have to part out another Goodman window ac
@@BigeSnek going to the dump for that
like I I got the 1996 Goodman window ac
Or you could just buy a new capacitor instead of getting another bad one.
@@mikafoxx2717 that's what I said I would do

Compared to other vintage units these Fedders Rotarex units are definitely worse, although they are surely far superior to any modern unit.
These things seem to be complete rust buckets though. Every one of these I see nowadays looks to be very rotted out. Someone in my neighborhood had one of the small chassis 90s Fedders in their wall and when they pulled it out it completely disintegrated. I saw the basepan all by itself on the curb and it was very rusty
In what ways are they worse?
@JordanU It's the rotarex itself. My grandparents had one of the early 90s Fedders units and the compressor locked up. I have a Fedders apartment style unit with the rotarex and it takes forever to get somewhat cold
@@nextg5062 This sounds like a case of limited experience bias. Was that compressor cut open and confirmed locked? That's an extremely rare failure, for even the cheapest of units. Most rotary compressors take a long time to build pressure, that's not specific to Rotorex.
@JordanU This was well over 10 years ago. They just threw it away when they got central air. It sat in the wall unused for a year or two before that.
@@nextg5062 It very likely was just a spoiled capacitor.
