Ac filters

[Chili1]

I have a 2012 Alpine 3650RL. The only place I see for the return air filters is in the living room ceiling. It would take 8 screws to get the grill off. Is thi correct or am I missing something?

Haven’t looked at the new ones recently, but that is typical location for the return air on the whisper systems. I thought the center grill was removable to get the filters out to wash them. I guess I am glad my old Alpine only has two screws to remove each one.

Welcome to the forum

From the few videos I watched it appears you have the "whisper quiet" A/C system. The returns are on the sides of the ceiling but Im thinking the grills should pop loose.

It makes sense the grill may pull down thanks

My vents are screwed onto the ceiling

He has a 2012 so it may be different.

Ok, I guess I skipped over that when I read the post. In that case it’s the same as what I have in mine and yes 8 screws. Be careful not to over tighten the screws. There’s nothing behind them and they strip easily.

Maybe post a picture if you can.

I haven’t worked on one, he did state 2012 in his post though.

And if you look at the timestamps you'll see we posted at the same time.
