Possible Causes

Clogged condensate drain channel, unit not tilted slightly outward, frozen evaporator melting rapidly, cracked drain pan

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit. Dry any water near electrical outlets.

Steps:

  • Check installation tilt: For window units, ensure the unit is slightly tilted toward the outside so water flows outdoors, not indoors.
  • Clean drain channel: Remove the front cover and locate the condensate trough under the evaporator. Use a small brush or pipe cleaner to clear slime and debris from the drain holes.
  • Inspect drain pan: Look for cracks or rust holes in the plastic or metal pan. Seal small cracks with waterproof epoxy or replace the pan if severely damaged.
  • Prevent icing: Clean the filter and ensure proper airflow to reduce coil icing that can cause overflow.
