  • Public/college radio broad cast. Also never fell for mainstream data traps and apps. These broad casts stream for free from their websites and have corresponding spinatron links for playlists. May I recommend: WWOZ new orleans or WMUH Allentown

    That’s pretty much all you need. For world music Try putumayo world music hour on ever weekday around noon on WMUH for a great source of curated world music by region. For a deep dive on world music there is a crazy detailed World Journey with Logan on Saturday on WWOZ.

    Also for fun some times I write down stuff I like with a pad and pen, then promptly lose said notes.


  • Fascinating. The “slinger ring” holy shit I’ve definetly heard that sound on my previous GE. And very slightly in the midea unit but much less often. Maybe due to the U set up making it quieter/ harder to hear. Or seeing as there is a recall, probably doesn’t work as well on midea.

    Makes sense in regards to cooling the coil surface but yeah no doubt it won’t be enough to evaporate all the moister and cause mold. Thanks for the info


  • Yes of course a fridge does not condensate nearly as much as a room A/C coil. Curious where you found information that says they purposefully designed it to not drain off. And how splashing water onto a coil would make it more efficient? Also, though I havnt done any deep search, from experience most window units are a hassle to access the coil for deep cleaning other than from through the filter. The midea unit is actually decent in accessing the entire face of the coil and fins can be cleaned by removing filter and with no tools opening up the entire face of the indoor unit (this would basically only be covered in dust) much better than older units I’ve tried to work on.


  • It seems the recall for the mold was essentially forgetting to put a drain for excessesive condensate. I havnt gotten a response yet. Did you get a response from them? Sucks that unit is awesome. And quiet. I thought it was funny they didn’t leave condensate tap to run a drain. I kinda assumed they figured out how to evaporate it in away like a refrigerator. They are made really well otherwise and have great user controls. Even the mounting bracket are next level.
