Very noisy
on June 7, 2026
Posted by: R Gam
I only used it once so far and I’m not sure if I received a dud. The fan is quite loud, as in it would be hard to take a phone call while it’s running. The condenser is quiet. It also took a while to cool my room and it wasn’t that hot the day I tried it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi R Gam,
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear that your portable air conditioner (Model FHWC083TC1) is louder than expected and took longer than anticipated to cool your room after initial use.
For basic troubleshooting, we recommend confirming that the unit is placed on a level surface with adequate clearance around the air intake and exhaust to ensure proper airflow. Make sure the exhaust hose is installed correctly, not kinked, and sealed properly at the window kit, as poor venting can impact cooling performance and increase operating noise. Also, verify that the air filter is clean and properly seated, since restricted airflow can cause the fan to work harder and sound louder. It may also help to allow the unit a short stabilization period during first-time use as it begins cooling the space.
If the noise remains unusually loud or performance does not improve, further inspection may be required.
For additional assistance, please contact our Consumer Care Team via live chat at Frigidaire.ca or call 1-800-265-8352, Monday–Friday, 8:30 a.m.–8:00 p.m. ET.
