Friedrich High Condensate Production / Improper Outdoor Drainage

Excessive water dripping or running down the exterior wall

Possible Causes

Very humid conditions, missing or misaligned drain spout, blocked external drain kit, unit overfilled with condensate due to level installation

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Use caution when working on exterior walls or windows.

Steps:

  • Verify tilt: Ensure the unit is tilted slightly to the outside so water drains away from the wall.
  • Install or adjust drain spout: Many Friedrich units have an optional drain spout or knockout. Install or reposition it so water drips clear of the wall.
  • Clean external drain kit: If a drain hose is attached, remove and flush it to clear any blockages.
  • Seal around sleeve: Ensure the wall sleeve is properly sealed so water cannot run back into the wall cavity.
