Your first post was at 3:01, 2nd post at 3:15, please dont expect instant help from an all volunteer site. Some folks wait a day or more for help on their car questions. Im sure someone will comment, sorry I have no clue to your answer.

Most window units these days have sealed refrigerant systems with no service ports - they're "throwaway" items.

this one is about 15-20 years old. and has a tube that sticks up and it looks like it was already clamped or done before.

I wouldn't call a window air conditioner a "throw away" item. Some of them are pretty inexpensive and it is cheaper to just throw them away. All newer a/c systems are "sealed systems". You can buy line taps to access the system. R-22 is just another form of refrigerant. It is not as bad for the environment as say R-12. R-22 runs alot more pressure than, R12. If your a/c allready has a tap on it ... it may need recharging. The leak must be found and repaired before it is recharged. I highly reccomend you take it to a qualified tech. for repair. Most a/c problems are caused simply by dirt. A good thorough cleaning is all that is needed. You must remove the outer case and a few fan gaurds to do this right. Good Luck, Tom

thanx 4 the help:)

I'm guessing for the price you pay to have that old one fixed, you could buy a new one that is much more energy efficient (and quieter).

the one i have is quiet hence the name emerson quiet kool... as far as energy goes...its not too bad (ive seen much worse) in fact its pretty good.of corse its not the best but i like it.
