GE air conditioner leaks water inside the room

Safety: Unplug the unit. Use towels to protect flooring.

Steps:

• Check installation tilt: For window units, ensure the unit is slightly tilted downward toward the outside so water flows outdoors.
• Clear drain hole: Remove the unit from the window if needed. Locate the drain hole or weep slots at the rear base and clear them with a small brush or wire.
• Clean drain pan: Remove debris, algae, or sludge from the base pan so water can flow freely.
• Inspect for icing: If the evaporator coil is freezing, address airflow issues (clean filter, ensure fan speed is adequate) and thermostat settings.
• Check drain pan integrity: If the plastic or metal pan is cracked or rusted through, replace the drain pan assembly.
