Window Unit VS King Snake

Figured it out.

The question now is how in the world do I get it out? The AC has 4 screws on the outside but after taking them it out I still can’t get inside of it. This wasn’t on my list of possibilities today.

the screws you see along the bottom have to come off, as well as the screws on the sides for the window frame bracket, because those screws go into the metal backing plate for the fan motor to mount to.

most covers screw on, or the unit slides into it like a cabinet.

go watch a youtube video if you still cant get it off, but you just got to see where it doesnt move, and find that screw

i had a residential a/c unit literally hopping off the ground because of the same thing, had a snake wrapped around the fan blade shaft. it was an old york tombstone unit (because it looks like a tombstone) and that was the raunchiest shite i ever smelled and then i had to try and wash the guts and whatnot off of the coils.

As a kid we had some friends and their parents over for several hours one afternoon. They got in their van to leave, and it started squealing to the point it could be heard probably all over the neighborhood. He cut it off, popped the hood, and found a mess. A big chicken snake had made it's way up into the engine compartment and, apparently, wound itself around the serpentine belt or near the fan because it was cut in three or four pieces. Ol' baw drug out as much of it as he could, but they said by the time they got home and everything got hot, it wasn't a good smell. I imagine the musk contributed to that.
