Water leaking from the front of the unit into the room

Safety: Unplug the unit before removing it from the window or sleeve.

Steps:

• Check installation tilt: Friedrich window and through-the-wall units must be slightly tilted downward toward the outside so water drains outdoors. Adjust the mounting so the rear is lower than the front by about 1/4–1/2 inch.
• Clean drain pan: Remove the unit from the sleeve or window as needed. Clean the condensate pan of slime, dirt, and debris.
• Clear drain holes: Use a small brush or pipe cleaner to open any blocked weep holes in the base pan.
• Inspect drain tube (if equipped): For PTACs with a drain kit, ensure the drain line is not clogged or kinked. Flush with water and mild bleach solution.
• Check for cracks: If the plastic drain pan is cracked and leaking, replace it with the correct Friedrich drain pan for your model.
