Water leaking from indoor unit front panel or dripping on wall

Safety first: Turn OFF the unit and protect floors and electronics from water.

Steps:

• Check drain hose routing: Ensure the hose slopes downward continuously and is not lifted above the drain pan outlet.
• Clear blockage: Use a wet/dry vacuum at the hose outlet to remove sludge. Repeat until water flows freely.
• Clean drain pan: Open the indoor unit lower cover (if accessible) and remove debris and slime from the pan.
• Verify unit level: Use a spirit level to confirm the unit is slightly tilted toward the drain side. Adjust mounting if necessary.

If leakage continues: The drain pan may be cracked or misaligned and may need replacement or reinstallation.
