For some odd reason GD decide to bypass the direct airflow on the main AC. Duct only.
Completely defeats the unique and fantastic feature of the Coleman Stealth AC system being able to blast the cold air directly to the main room/kitchen on a super hot day, vent it to the ducts for quiet operation.
"Ya just remove the plug" was the answer from GD.
Nope, more to it.
You remove the plug, then a purchased separately partition goes in:

Then a purchased separately different airflow directing base is installed:

Then ya put the original or the included with the new base purchase cover on:

Good to go:
Way way more cooling air flow being able to open the registers at the unit than directing it through the ducts.
Maybe on a warm day you are good with duct flow only, but in the heat of the Southwest we open up the direct discharge.
Our last 398M came OK without the plug as is my sons and all our friends. Why GD did this is a real head scratcher and it ain't we always did it that way.
Also the AC unit sounded like when as a kid, you'd clothespin a playing card on your bike to slap against the spokes.
That annoying noise was loose wiring and a big stringy glob of sealant flapping around inside the ac unit intake plenum. Secured the wiring, trimmed the sealant annoying noise gone.
So now, onto the Refers annoying door not closed alarm when in-fact the door is closed. Internet remedies aren't working nor is NorCold customer service any help what so ever.
