There are only two screws on the front plastic cover. Nothing on the bottom.
I've tried jimmying around the edges and messed up the plastic.. But no joy..

Today, I dehumidified my basement for about 2.5 hours. When I remembered
I had left it on, I went down and scanned the compressor (via the vents) and
it was still about 98 deg F. Never really got that hot.
Maybe the R22 flowing inside it keeps it cool?
The test wasn't too stressful on the AC, since it's 65 down stairs already.
It wouldn't come on, until I set it for 60..

It was pumping out some real cold air, but heat from the hot coil
wasn't that impressive. Got up to about 92 and that was it.

Maybe it will do better in the summer, when it's 10 degs warmer down there..
