We have the portable air condioner model LP1010snr and we have drained the tanks and still have the P2 warning. It will not start working. what can we do?

It's with the water. Drain the bucket, vacuum the tubing. If problem persist it's possibly a bad sensor

the sensor is wet

I am not completely familiar with these units but I believe they use a float to determine condensate levels. This float may be stuck in the raised position.

Lift up the window securing the AC, and CAREFULLY tilt back the unit. The water lays towards the back of the A/C under the fan.

P2 means the water collection tank is full and needs to be drained. You have to pull the drain plug at the bottom of the unit and drain the water.
Drain the water (small amount actually) in the shower. Note: There is a cap towards the bottom of the unit that you will need to unscrew, then pull out the rubber plug. Fired up the unit after the water drain ... it worked fine.

First, have you drained the tank recently. If not, the warning light or auto shutoff failed and the tank may be overflowing. Worse case scenario is the that the tank is dirty and is not allowing the coils to cool and the dripping water you see is from the cooling coils. Since the tank is not removable, it's very difficult, at best to clean the tank.

If you drain the tank and before reinserting the drain plug, try to get about 1/2 teaspoon of bleach in the drain hole. followed by 2 cups of water. Of course you'll have to use a funnel of sort to do this. Reinstall the drain plug and move the unit around so the water and bleach will slosh around. Then run the unit until the bucket is near full again and drain it thoroughly. Look at the color of water draining out, for an indication that there is dirty water. That will be a good indication, that some cleaning of the tank has taken place.

Hope this helped you and thanks for choosing FixYa.

If your model is a portable AC unit, the P2 indicates that water needs to be drained from the tank.
Turn the unit OFF and unplug it, before draining the water from the lower tank into a shallow sided pan capable of holding at least 1 quart of water. Once it has completely drained, reinsert the drain plug, plug the unit in and turn it ON. The P2 Error Code should have disappeared. If not, press the ON/OFF button twice.

I hope this helped you.

Hope this helped you. Please let me know. Thanks.

What happens on this unit is it will suddenly stop followed by a series of chimes. You can reset the unit, but it will end with the same set of chimes. My unit display had a P2 code. As mentioned above, I drained the water (small amount actually) in the shower. Note: There is a cap towards tha bottom of the unit that you will need to unscrew, then pull out the rubber plug. Fired up the unit after the water drain ... it worked fine. If they can make a GI Joe talk ... why can this unit simply say ... "Please Drain". P2 is so intuitive.

Hi there,

There is two drain plugs on the back of the unit, you will need to drain the the bottom black plug, you need something to catch the water. hope this helps
