Where can I order an AC filter?

I've heard you should replace the filter yearly, but can't find anybody looking to sell one. It's a GE window 5500 BTU unit model# AST05LKS1

If it's just the regular thin foam stuff, you should be able to get it at your local hardware store.

If it is the corrugated looking ones (like they use on central AC systems), you should still be able to find it at the hardware store, but make sure you either know the size or bring it with you.

A quick search shows me you have almost the same AC as we do. Here is one site I found: http://www.appliancepartspros.com/Appliance-Parts/ge-air-filter-item-number-ap3995886.aspx

The filter is very specific to the model of the AC and can't be bought at the local hardware store. (Wish I had known that when we bought the darn thing! :-/ )

Edit: Looks like Sears carries them too... http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-model/GE-Parts/Room-air-conditioner-Parts/Model-AST05LKS1/0432/0904032/G0612028/00001?blt=06&prst=&shdMod=

No matter where you find it, do yourself a favor and buy several at a time.

Is the filter that plasticy stuff, or foam? If the plastic stuff, don't replace it... Just wash it. In my, limited, experience, filters unique to the unit are typically washable.

Btw, sometimes there is both plasticy and foam. Pick up the foam at any hardware store, as mentioned. Again, the plastic need only be washed.

I tried washing it and it seems pretty restored. Thanks everyone!

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
