Air conditioning help

tilt your ac down on the outside,so it will drain properly,if that doesnt help,pour some bleach in the water inside to get rid of mold that clogs the drain

John, good job on clearing the drip pan's drain hole. Now adjust the tilt of the rear of the unit to 1/4" to 1/2" downward tilt. Now the water will flow to the rear of the drip pan and out the drain hole more easily.

I hope this helped you and thanks for choosing FixYa.

Here is a thought, received by me from a AC mechanic recently. Window ACs no longer actually drain concensate. Rather, the water is caught in a pan with the idea it will evaporate back into the outside air. The reason for this is the dripping water frequently resulted in the growth of algae below the unit resulting is unsightly stains and sometimes, slippery conditions. Evidently, there were a lot of complaints about being 'dripped on' also. So, AC manufacturers don't put drain holes in the bottom any more. If the pan over fills, it will spill out of many makes. If you want yours to drain, put a hole in the bottom.

Like I said, just a thought.

Thanks for your question @ FixYa.com

Check the filter and service it while your at it. You may have a drain hose with this unit if so it could well be plugged so you sill have to pull it to get to it and clean it out as well as the drain tray. If you donot havea hose then it just needs to be tilted to theoutside about 1 inch or so. hope this helps let me know Jon

From what you have described, it sounds like the drip pan under the unit is full of water. This can be caused by the unit not being installed properly in the window. It must have 1/4' to 1/2" downward tilt at the rear. This allows the water in the drip pan, to flow to the rear and drain away thru the drain hole. Also, the drain hole may be clogged and needs to be cleared. The drain hole can be a challenge to find sometimes, as the clog can blend in with the hole. Be patient and persistent when looking for the drain hole. A pipe cleaner can be used to clear it.

This usually caused by high humidity and a build up in the condensation pan under the unit. Or the drain pan has a clog it's drain In addition, if the outside part of the unit is not sloped (tilted) down 1/2", to allow the water to run to the back of the pan it builds up under the front of the unit.

Hello, make sure the unit is tilted back in the window so the water can drain through the tubing. If the unit is level it wont be able to drain properly.

The drain is stopped up or the unit is not tilted back enough to drain out the back. If the drain is stopped up sometimes you can blow it out with compressed air from the bottom of the front coil. If the unit is not tilted enough in the wall or window it cannot drain out of the proper drain hole in the back of the unit. Hope this helps you.

Make sure the unit tilts towards the outside. If it's installed level or tilted toward front it will not drain properly.

need to have the unit tilted back just a little so the water can drain properly.
