I have a Kenmore C120 portable air conditioner. It is leaking water from the back bottom. There is a white drain but this unit is supposed to self evaporate. At least it did last year. Now it is leaking water all over my carpet. Please help.

    Thanks Gas Logs.

    To clean the air filter, do I need to take it apart? or do I just take a vacuum to it?

    Also, to drain the tank, do i need to take it apart or do I just tilt it and make sure all the water comes out?

    Thanks.

Interestingly, your Kenmore Portable AC is manufactured by Delonghi. Occasionally, what you are experiencing happens when the humidity level is high and the air intake filter needs to be cleaned.
That also means that you will need to drain the tank, at least once.

You know where the drain plug is, so you can either carefully take it outside to drain or put a low sided container, capable of holding 1 1/2 quarts of water under the drain plug. If you drain it inside, turn the Master ON/OFF Switch to OFF and unplug the unit, before attempting to drain it.

Hope this helped you to solve the problem.

    No, it's not necessary to take the unit apart. The filter holder and frame are on the back of the unit. Simply pull the frame off and your can remove the filter to clean it.

    Your water is leaking because you're missing the drain plug. Mosey on down to Sears and order yourself a new plug otherwise the water catch drain is just gonna keep on leaking.

HOw to fix portable air conditioner? It is leaking

Unless it is leaking the refrigerant then what is dripping is the condensation air conditioners produce. This being a portable, it should have a drip pan that can be removed and drained. Window units just drip out the back and large units have a hose routed to drip away from the unit or into a drain.

I bought a DeLonghi PACC120E portable a/c with no manual. The unit does not cool, and it dumps water. How do I get it to blow cool air?

I would drain the water out of the machine via the plug on the back once the unit is drained turn on, wait a few minutes. If compressor does not come on or comes on and does not cool, you need service beyond diy.

I have a Kenmore Portable ac unit and its leaking from the back in the middle of the vent. I drained the unit,but it starts leaking again within minutes. Is there something wrong or could it just be too...

All portables, alllll, you have to put unit in
window with a slight tilt, as the unit runs
it creates condensation that condensation
is the water leaking out the back it's supposed
to do that, I have seen people hook a hose up
an let it drain in a bucket.
even your car a/c leaks water

Water

This ac unit will have to be taken apart and clean out the drain holes in the bottom of the case.Use a water hose to clean and wash it out,also remove any large objects by hand,of course you will have to remove the unit from the window to do this.

How to change or clean the filter and where to download a manual

DeLonghi has the manuals for their portable air conditioners here: http://delonghiusa.com/support/product_manuals/5#table-jump . The direct link to the PAC C120 manual is http://delonghiusa.com/support/sites/default/files/product_manuals/m-PAC+C120.pdf .

Before cleaning, turn off the air conditioner. To clean the filter, pull it straight up from behind the top of the air intake (on the back of the PAC C120). Vacuum off the filter. If it is very dirty, immerse it in warm water and rinse several times. (The water should not above 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees F)) several times. Then allow the filter to air dry. Slide the filter back into the air conditioner and turn the unit back on.

I hope this helps.

The air conditioner is cooling but it is dripping water on the floor, lots of it, I mopped up more than a gallon for less than 24 hours use.

It sounds as if the drain plug on the back of the unit, down near floor level is loose or missing
Check for that first, because the unit is supposed to shut off automatically, when the drain pan is full. If the plug is leaking or missing, the unit doesn't sense, that the drain pan is full. Also, be sure you exhaust ducts are not bowing down a great deal or trapping exhausted moisture in the duct, that should be exhausted out the window.

Hope this helped you to troubleshoot and solve the problem.
