The directions have the steps to take when a "P1" error is flashing.

1) Remove the plug (the upper black plug not the lower) and attach the included drain hose.
2) Put a bucket under the hose.
3) Press the TURBO button for MORE THAN THREE SECONDS. The WATER INDICATOR will begin flashing telling the user that the FORCED WATER DRAINAGE feature is activated. You will even hear a little whirring noise.
4) Wait until the WATER INDICATOR stops flashing and no more water is flowing out of the drainage tube.
5) After the water is finished flowing, make sure that you FASTEN the DRAIN PLUG. Of course, failure to do this will flood the area.
6) The unit should now work.

You can also move the unit somewhere that you can remove the plug and let the water flow freely (you do not need to have it plugged in for this method) and once the water is finished, replace the plug and fire it up. It should then work correctly. It's also mentioned that the water should be drained quite often to prevent corrosion. I do it every few months and of course when winter approaches.

I like this air conditioner and have had really nice luck with it. A little loud but who cares. That's why there are SUBTITLES on the television.

Hope this helped.

I hope this helped you. Thanks for choosing FixYa.

check the condensate tank to be sure it is empty and installed correctly, also make sure the unit is level.

In your case, the condensation generated by the AC is split between the exhaust duct and one of the water collection tanks. The unit should warn you or shut down, when the tank is full and needs to be drained. But, at 10 years old, I'd monitor is regularly.

Generally, no. These units only have just so much fan pressure to exhaust the heat & moisture out of the house. Extending the hose could cause a draining & exhaust problem.

What exactly is the problem with the window installation kit? Knowing that, will help me, to help you.

Yes there is supposed to be a screw in plug. You can probably order one directly from Danby
