You need to find out if your drain has an out let outside and vacuum it out with a wet/dry vac. Otherwise you will have to cut the drain line inside and vacuum it out there, The ac supply houses sell a twist and turn clean-out tee that makes it easier to clean your drains.

SOURCE: leaking AC condensate drain pan

that's not the problem. It has a 1" crack in bottom of the thin plastic drain pan. I need to figure out how to seal that crack. Replacing the drain pan would be a major project, due to it's attic location and it sits in the drain pan.

SOURCE: A/C drain pan not draining.

The drain must have one and only one trap in it. A trap is where the pipe goes up then back down so that water is kept in a section of the pipe - will stop the air from blowing thru the drain and not letting the water drain - may not sound right but it is! I've seen this many times! Drain traps are not understood at all by the HVAC industry.

Leaking water

Yes they do each have a drain hose. They might all tie in together somewhere. Accessing the drain pan is quite a task. Also it might have a pump in it that could not be working it just depends on the setup. I don\'t have any links or a description but is definitely not easy to take apart one of these units. Best of luck to you.

We've had two of thee units for a couple weeks now. Then suddenly they started leaking a LOT of water. How do we fix this problem asap?!

If you haven't been draining the water collection tanks regularly, that could be the problem. With that said, the units should shut down automatically, when the tanks are full. If they are not doing that, the water tank full sensors are faulty. The drain plug is on the rear of the unit, just above floor level. To drain it, place a low sided pan or bowl capable of holding 1 quart water, under the drain plug. Unscrew the plug and allow it to drain in the pan. Or disconnect the unit and roll it to a floor drain or outdoors and drain it/them.

In addition, check the exhaust hose(s) for obstruction r drooping to much. Either will trap moisture that should be exhausting out the window.

Hope this helped you to troubleshoot and solve the problem. Thanks for choosing FixYa.

Our window air unit is leaking into the house. It was purchased it earlier this summer and has worked fine until now. We don't see a drainage hole on the outside and the manual said nothing about a...

Two things can cause the problem you're having. Either separately or collectively.

1. The drain hole in the drip pan near the rear of the unit is clogged.
Sometimes finding the drain hole can be a challenge. As the clog will blend in with the hole. Patience & persistence is what is needed in locating it. A pipe cleaner works well to clear the clog.

2. The rear of the unit does not have enough downward tilt.
The general rule of thumb for rear downward tilt is 1/4' to 1/2". This allows the water to flow to the rear of the drain pan and thru the drain hole. Rather than into the house.

Hope this helps you & thanks for choosing FixYa..

It appears that the drain is plugged it sounds as if you have it tilted enough . U should be able to remove the front cover from the unit and see the drain behind the evaperator between the inddor fan motor and the evapator. you will see a pan might be plastic under the evaperator . look for the drain . they are sometime difficult to find but it's there. be certain it is open. You might also (if it has a drain hose Blow a bit of air up against it and clear it as well. either way take a bit of of house hold cleaner and drop in the drain pan .. this will help a little to clear the drain . Let me know hope this helps

There is water leaking out from the bottom of my furnace. It leaks whenever the ac is running.

Hello, sounds like a clogged condensate line or a faulty condensate pump if the unit has one. Cleaning the drain line should fix the problem.

Leaking inside. Fedders A3X05F2A-J Unit is sloped away from house. Have sprayed coils. Doesn't seem to be drain hole at back of unit

Mellisia, the problem very well may be, that the drain pan hole under the unit, on the outside may be clogged. When that happens, water backs up and leaks out the front of the unit.The drain hole should be near one of the corners of the drain pan. And with Fedders, it may be on the edge/lip of the drain pan. The clog, may appear to be part of the drain pan and that's why you haven't noticed it.

Inspect the drain pan closely. If you can't find it. You can create one, by CAREFULLY drilling a hole at one of the corners of the drain pan. It doesn't have to be a large hole 1/8" to 1/4" should do.Be sure the unit is OFF and unplugged from the wall, before attempting this. Also, once the drill bit penetrates the drain pan STOP. You don''t want the drill bit to pierce the coils on the back of the unit.

Hope this helped you. Please let me know. Thanks.

Our carrier reverse cycle airconditioner is leaking inside the house after a hour of use. how can we fix this? we have cleaned the filters in the inside unit and it still leaks,it works fine as a heater...

Did you blow out the drain? If so pull the front off of the air handler unit. Ckean out drain pan. This drain pan had small holes on either side that run from the sode drain clean those out. Also if your coil is dirty it will pull water back and cause it to leak. Try cleaning coil and dain pan plus blow out drain. Rus

Too much water in drain pan

The leak could be from the boiler valve housing- there are o-rings there as well and/or other components.
