Is there a good reason not to run my window unit like this?

My kid kept jamming shit in there (thus the breaks in the filter) so here I am
Any suggestions?
Should I just take the face plate off (like in the pic) every time I clean the filter?

It was the only way to get the filter out

Jesus that's it? I plan on studying HVAC when my kid goes to school so I can answer these questions in the future. Has anyone here studied that school of thought? I dont care what it LOOKS like I'm talking about functionality.
Please gentlemen I'm looking for help.

The gases are contained in a sealed unit. It shouldn't matter how you put it.

As long as your unite is facing the right way which it looks like your unit is. Since I can read the numbers and assuming uo is up then it should be fine im not sure what you're worried about.

I am way too buzzed to be specific (Bzzzzzzzzzzzzz). But I can tell you that ANY contraption modern man has designed that works on principles similar to your device depends on air flow. Pre filters catch all the tiny crap in the air that would permanently clog and ruin the efficiancy (spelling?) of your unit. AIR in, AIR out is what you want -and let no airborne particles get in between.
I would just tell you to get a new AC, if it weren't for the fact that I have been in a worst pinch myself. Hope this helps somehow.

Ya I'll be poor for the rest of my goddamn miserable life. So I'll put the face plate back on I guess. I guess I'm a year or two from real answers. A nice person told me I could use my certification to legally order giant tanks of nitrus....niiice

As soon as the face plate went back on the unit died? It seems permanent. Fuuuuuuck
My bad it must have been some reset thing

If you don’t have the filter on right then it would be no worse than having your windows open without a screen. Probably not a big deal unless there’s a lot of dust or pollen in your area 🤷♂️

All I see from you koods is traveling without context. What do you do for a living?
Ps I really enjoyed your protest photos. I think it's really cool when people who usually have to do their art in secret can do graffiti in broad daylight

The face plate probably helps direct the air so the cold incoming air isn’t sucked right back into the vent that goes back outside. An ac unit is just a system where heat is removed from incoming air, and put back into outgoing air.

That big metal prong things sticking out, that is some kind of temperature sensor for a thermostat, you need to figure out what that sticks into and put it back in.

I put the plate back on after cleaning the filter. That's NOT the point koods goddamnit answer the question. Why do you travel so much? It's for sure not for the view. I've never seen you post the country side. Whatever you are up to it's always busy city stuff
