Possible Causes
Clogged condensate drain channel, Unit not tilted correctly (window models), Blocked drain hose (portable models), Excessive ice melt from frozen coil
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before tilting or opening. Avoid water contact with electrical parts.
- Check tilt (window units): Ensure the unit is slightly tilted downward toward the outside so water flows outdoors, not indoors.
- Clean drain channels: Remove the front cover and locate the condensate pan and drain holes. Use a small brush or pipe cleaner to clear any slime or debris.
- Inspect drain hose (portable): Verify that the drain hose is not kinked or blocked. Flush it with water if necessary.
- Address freezing: If you see ice on the evaporator, follow the freeze-up steps (clean filter, improve airflow, check for low refrigerant via technician).
- Dry and test: After cleaning, dry the area, reassemble, and test for leaks with a small amount of water poured into the pan while the unit is off.
