DIY How to Install a Window Air Conditioning Unit-Wal-Mart A/C Unit

Purchased this air conditioning unit from Wal-Mart a number of years ago and used this same insertion and removal method every year as this was a seasonal window unit only installed for a couple months out of the year. Once I had this system down I could have it put installed in less than 5 minutes. First step is to take the window out and place in a safe spot for a couple months. The window removal here demonstrates the slider type where all you need to do is slide it to the left a little, push it up into the groove, and pull it up and out over the lip. Lift the air conditioner up and set it into the groove. Be absolutely sure you don't drop out the window and be sure nobody is below you before you start this. You also want to make sure you have a way to secure this once I the window. Safety brackets should be installed to keep it from dropping. Before you go buy one at the store be sure you take the height and width of your window to make sure the unit will fit. They are great to have in the summer time when it's roasting. You'll be glad you put one in. They are fairly affordable now. I'll post a link to one below and you can just order it.

DIY Instructions-How to Install an Automatic Ice Maker in Your Refrigera...

How to Install and Automatic Ice Maker. This installation was for a Frigidaire brand. IMEZC000 model. Automatic Ice Maker Installation kit. After unboxing the ice maker, you'll notice that there is an electrical connector that needs to be hooked up. Keep that in mind. The ice maker will need an on demand water supply so you'll need to run a water line to the fridge. Almost all models nowadays have a standard hook up in the back of the fridge for this. When I did this, I removed the thread protectors from the fridge connection and used teflon tape around the threads. Then I hooked up the hose, turned on the water and checked for leaks. In this video you'll notice my incoming water valve demonstrates some leaking while operating the valve. Once it's either in the fully open or fully closed position, the leak stops. I did end up replacing this valve just for the purposes of upgrading it and made another video on it as well. After the water connection at the fridge was satisfactorily checked for water leaks, I pushed the fridge back into it's spot. Now it's time to mount the ice maker. The electrical connections are uncovered inside the the freezer. There are some plastic screw hole protectors in the side of the freezer that need to be removed to allow for the mounting screws to be inserted. Then I inserted the mounting screws that come with the ice making kit. Don't screw them in all the way. Pull out your ice maker and plug the electrical connection into the receptacle in the freezer. Also there is a plastic ice slide that needs to be installed as shown in the video. After plugging in the electrical connection I hung the ice maker onto the mounting screws and then drove them in all the way to secure it to the side wall of the freezer. I then plugged the fridge back in had ice in no time flat. This ice maker installation was so easy.

What’s Inside Amazon's Frozen "Xice" Ice Gel Packs? Thawed and Unthawed ...

This was a fun experiment to see what was inside of these ice packets that amazon sends with their food deliveries. The gooey gel inside is very inert, non-flammable, and non-glow-in-the-dark. It was fun to cut it open in both the thawed form and frozen form just to satisfy my curiosity. This would probably make some good fake halloween blood and guts if you dyed it red. Maybe I'll try that on the next one during halloween season. The Nice itself seems to be very effective and stay frozen keeping your food cold for a long time. I like to keep them in the freezer and at least get another couple uses out of them rather than immediately discard them, just seems to be too much of a waste. Buy some stuff from from the amazon links below as it helps support my blog and channel!

How to Install an Automatic Ice Maker

This was a really easy installation. Anyone can do this. This installation assumes a water line has already been run. So you must shut off and  connect the water line as shown in the video to the connection on the bottom of the refrigerator in the back using teflon tape for the connection to prevent leakage. Create room in the freezer for your ice maker then pop the plastic cap over the wire connection. Remove the caps inside the freezer for mounting the ice maker. Screw in the mounting screws to the designated holes. Connect the wire connection from the ice maker to the freezer. Hang the ice maker on the mounting screws then finish screwing them all the way in securing the ice maker. Don't screw them in too hard b/c the plastic could break but just tight enough to keep it snug. Plug fridge back in and turn on the water. Works like a charm.
