I have been really happy with my Midea U-Shaped Air Conditioner until the thing started making a really annoying hum any time the fan was going. Customer service told me to get bent when I tried to take advantage of the warranty, so I tried to live with the noise until I couldn’t stand it anymore and finally took action.

Please engage with the video/account so that other Midea owners looking to do their own repairs can find this easier.

** I have just been informed that many Danby U-shaped ACs are rebadged versions of this unit **

If you have any notes, ideas, or better methods please comment below!

Tips from the comment section:
- For the narrow areas you can get small screwdrivers or 90-degree shaped screwdrivers at any hardware store
- Magnetic screwdrivers will help you not lose screws (if you do, get an extendable magnetic wand to fish them out)
- If you use lubricant, use only silicon grease - it's inert, shouldn't harm any rubbers or plastics
- You can remove the entire fan duct without taking the whole thing apart (there's detailed comments about it, I have not attempted this yet)
- If you'd like to leave me a tip (certainly not necessary, but very much appreciated): https://venmo.com/Nick-Robinson
