A.C. unit is draining on the inside of the house.

The unit is a wall unit and has been in for three years. It just started leaking inside the house thie year. I thought maybe the drain was stopped up but there is not a drain on it. It is a GE 110 unit we bought from Wal-Mart.

There is a drainage and it is stucked with dust, mold etc. Just open metal lid on the wall inside your house, where the coil is installed and where you're changing filters, remove air filter, there at bottom you will see the drainage hole (now under water probably). Rent an air compressor from Home Depot or Lowe's, stick the hose to that hole and turn compressor on. This shall blow the drainage through. After that slowly pour 1-2 cups of Chlorox or Tylex in there, let it stand for 15 minutes, then pour some more water and blow with compressed air again, then flush it with water and blow last time.
Do that at least once in two years, or you gonna have same problem again.

Why does my split ac unit leak inside the house?

This happens when the drain pipe is too high, or kinked. The pipe must be lower then the drain pan in order for the water to drain. This is a common problem.

Frigidaire FAC107S1A leaking water thru the inside of the house

Hello, first make sure the unit is tilted back in the window about a 1/4 inch. Also, check the drain on unit, sometimes they can clog and prevent condensate from draining.

My air conditioner is leaking inside the house onto the floor. I bought it last year. How do I fix the problem.

Two things generally cause the problem you're having.

The drain hole in the drip pan near the rear of the unit is clogged and/or the rear of the unit is not tilted down enough for the water to flow to the drain hole. 1/4" to 1/2" is the rule of thumb for the rear tilt.

Finding the drain hole is often a challenge. As, the clog can blend in with the drain hole. Persistence and patience are the key to finding it. A pipe cleaner works well to clear the hole.

I hope this helped you and thanks for choosing FixYa.

Drainage occurs near the front of the unit, resulting in pools of water leaking onto my window sill. Unit is installed properly, there is no drain hole to direct water away from the insides of the walls...

The A/C unit should be tilted slightly to the rear and this will allow the water to leak to the outside of the window, you may have to drill a small hole in the case to drain if there is no pre-existing hole.

Water leaking inward

There should be a drip tray that catches all the condensation and funnels it out the back. Check for holes, cracks or a plugged drain hole.

My Maytag side by side fridge freezer is leaking at the bottom and ice is collecting at the bottom of the freezer. I cannot find any model number but think it's about 6 years old

The drain is clogged behind the wall in the freezer you can do one of three things take the back wall inside the freezer off and thaw the drain in the bottom and clear it out,Pay someone else to do this,or you can mover your food for a day unplug the unit open the freezer door and leave it off for 24 hours allowing the ice to clear from the drain,seems to happen about every five or six years with Maytags..
