Clogged vents, inlets or output can cause overheating during operation. Better power supplies "shutdown" to protect themselves and the unit... I think your Display is telling you this IS a "ON" time... but the internal protection(s)MAY be preventing proper operation.
Most of these devices have condensate pans that need to be emptied. these can and will shutoff the unit when they become full. i would start to look low in the front maybe behind a removable panel. good luck.
I wouldn't recommend servicing this yourself unless you are an air conditioner repair person by trade. If the unit is five years old or less Sharp covers the parts-----you pay the labor for the repair. There is a manufacture code on the unit that will indicate when it was made anyways if you don't have your original bill of sale. If the unit is within its first five years of life you would need to take it to a Sharp authorized service center. If you do not have a receipt you will need to get a proof of purchase letter from Sharp. If the unit is older than five years you can take it to any repair person but it might be cheaper to purchase another unit.
earlier models had a pan you had to empty .. your model has a small pump that is supposed to pump the water out the hot air vent (that goes thru the window} .. since its leaking it is likely that the pump inlet is clogged ... you might have to remove a panel to get at that ... it will be near the bottom of the unit (near the drainage nozzle) ... also check the hose that goes out thru the outside vent .. make sure its not cracked, clogged or smashed ... temporarily you can use the drain nozzle to drain off the water to a lower area (it cant drain up without the pump) ...
