IS THERE SUBPOST TO BE STYROFOAM INSIDE THE AIR CONDITION, IT IS BEHIND THE FAN WHEEL, AND ON BOTH SIDES INSIDE UNIT WATER RUNS OUT THE FRONT, NOW UNIT DOES NOT TRUN ON. THANKS, DEE

If its a window unit, pull out of window get to the front fins might have to remove a few screws on the sides of front and spray out with a hose be careful not to get control box wet.spray fins and wheel inside, dump water out the back or side, put back in window it should start blowing cold air if not then its time for a new one.but sounds like its getting over heated

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

you may hear water splashing that is because it is coming off of the condenser the part that is outside the water runs off the condenser and is forced out by the fan for as the noise could be something in or on the inside fan blade or outside fan blade as long as the water is not coming inside your house and you have enough slope on the unit you should be ok

clean the filter, install a ptrap on the drain line. Im sure the Styrofoam is the drain pan.

no it is insulation for noise and hot air usually

Hello,Lilo The styrofoam pack MUST stay in place.When in operation the air tempature is so cold the unit will condensate(create water)if not insluated.Your unit would LEAK all over the place.The blower fan is a PLASTIC composit and should not rust.

Your unit has a clogged drain passage that's why the water is staying in the front of the unit.If you take the unit case off look for a drain trough in the bottom of the a/c where the metal wall is that the fan mounts to thats where it is,clean it out and the water will flow to the back of the a/c and not blow or drip inside your house.

Check breaker for outside unit Also check to see if you ahve afloat switch on the inside air handler. Located under or in front of unit. It may be full of water and tripped. Blow out drain if tripped.

Yes, they mostly juust use it for air flow

Hi Julie,
Is this a newly installed unit? The problem sounds like the sleeve is improperly installed. The sleeve should slope approximately 1/4 inch downward from inside to outside. This way the water will run to the back of the pan where it will be picked up by the slinger fan, or drain to the outside. Most likely this is the cause, not the styrofoam pan. If you need further info, you can contact me at greg.mcnary(at)airdistributors.com (replace (at) with @) and I can get you detailed installation instructions.
