Claim 0:
1. An air conditioner comprising:
a main body;
a panel assembly, coupled to the main body, to cover a front surface of the main body; and
a cam assembly below the panel assembly and comprising a cam having a cam contact surface with a first contact portion and a second contact portion, wherein
the first contact portion is farther from a rotation axis of the cam than the second contact portion so that the cam is rotatable between
a first state in which the first contact portion contacts the panel assembly so that the panel assembly is in an ascended position in which the panel assembly is fixable to the main body, and
a second state in which the second contact portion contacts the panel assembly so that the panel assembly is in a descended position, lower than the ascended position, in which the panel assembly is separable from the main body,

when the cam is rotated from the first state to the second state, contact of the cam contact surface with panel assembly causes the panel assembly to move from the ascended position to the descended position, and
when the cam is rotated from the second state to the first state, contact of the cam contact surface with the panel assembly causes the panel assembly to move from the descended position to the ascended position.
