Yes, more or less. Its not a filter with pleats, its more of a flat thin panel kind of thing. It looks a little like dryer lint, or a sheet of cotton about 1/4 inch thick. Mine was messed up, and kind of fell apart as I pulled on it. Being a bigger older guy, it was hard to reach my hand inside there to pull it out. I spent about 1 hour cleaning out the box and removing the filter. Although the hole where the blower is gives you plenty of room to reach inside the box, the filter is to the left of that hole. I cleaned the hell out of everything in there before I replaced the motor. I was having issues with the old motor making noise, but once I replaced the motor with a new one, I couldnt believe how much harder the new motor blows compared to the old motor. The first issue besides the noise, was my fan just had 1 speed. Replacing the resistor fixed that issue, but I did that before I replaced the motor. It was about 1 week or so later, before I replaced the motor. Ive been happy with my system since. Its cold and blows hard out of the vents. It hasnt worked as good in a very long time.SO when you say filter you really mean a screen of some sort?
