Updated If the insulation is missing or has been torn or split, it can cause dripping.The best thing is that you don’t need a professional to handle to this problem. You can fix it all by yourself. Here is it :First cover your air conditioner with a plastic bag hanging down and also have space to collect water. Picture it as a sack hanging.Now take the drain tube and blow air into it from your mouth. This results in flowing of all the unclean water into the plastic bag you had placed.Then grab the drain tube and lift it upwards. Attach the vacuum cleaner to the drain tube leaving no gap between them. It will absorb the dirt accumulated in the drain tube. Drain off the dirty water from the drain tube.Next use the vacuum pump for the final drain of the dirty water.You can also approach Quotemykaam at 09899763411 or book online for AC repair in your city:AC Repair in DelhiAC Repair in GurgaonAC Repair in NoidaAC Repair in FaridabadAC Repair in GhaziabadYou can also book for our other services - AC servicing, AC insatllation,AC gas refilling, AC repair, AC un-installation, AC on Rent in Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, Faridabad, GhaziabadWritten All air conditioners produce water

, as the result of moisture condensing from warm air, as it is cooled. If the split unit is dripping, it needs cleaning, more than likely.If you live in a place that is REALLY hot and REALLY humid, your ac may be condensing more water than usual. It should be draining thru a tube to the outside, rather than inside.The condensation drain tube is probably plugged up with dust bunnies and mold. It is likely that all it needs is cleaning.If the unit is producing only a moderate amount of moisture, it will probably evaporate “inside” the “outdoor’’ part of the unit, since newer air conditioners are made to work this way.This saves on electricity by cooling the condenser more efficiently.If the drain tube is plugged up, the condensed water has nowhere to go, and and drips out inside your house.Written Thanks for your A2AThere is water vapor in the air which we refer to as Humidity. The amount of water vapor held in the air is dependent on temperature.More water vapor can be held at higher temperature.

As temperatures start falling the amount of water vapor that can be held bu the air falls. At a low temperature called dew point, the water vapor will start forming water droplets on surfaces lower than that temperature.best window unit air conditioner buyThe water is produced in the internal unit because the evaporator coils are at very low temperature usually around 4–5 degree Celsius. carrier ac parts for rvThe temperature of the coil surfaces is much lower than dew point and when air is blown on evaporator coils, the air cools down and the water starts to condense on the evaporator coils.how to charge my home ac unitThis water is then drained out through the drain pipe, which in a split ac is ducted out along with the power wires and the copper tubing.

Thus if the drainage system is faulty or blocked, water collects in the inner unit and starts flowing and leaking out from the inner unit.Please get the issue checked by a qualified technicianEnjoy life...Written Water comes from all air conditioners as we know air contains water particles in form of vapours (Science -IV class) . These vapours releases heat when AC funtions and the heat is converted into liquid water.You must have observed when you take out a chilled bottle from fridge and keep it aside, very soon water droplets are formed from the side of the bottle. Similarly,when moisture in air increases and it comes in contact with AC , water comes out.Don’t worry , its a natural process, but if it comes out constantly then it needs to be repaired.Front Facing CompressorPRE PURCHASE: 2 year refresh of the old FRA126CT1: this is updated version of a amazon 4 star rated unit which claims to now be slightly more energy efficient. since this unit just came out for 2014 most are taking back orders for it now.

I filed mine a month ago with a NJ reseller who got 6 units in this week, so i should be able to post a full install review by the end of April - will edit this rating before then - stay tuned. search on youtube for UbrclsWLDQ8 to see a live demo of the 2012 version of this 2014 refresh - essentially the same unit.INSTALL UPDATE: cooling a 15x30' room, the remote temp sensor thermostat design was a must as i sit at the far end from this A/C that's installed in a sunny window, and this 12K did a great job keeping me cool without over cooling the room. this unit has an auto speed fan which picks low,med,high blow depending on need, so it's safe to over-spec and get this 12K if you were considering a 10K. this WHITE (not ivory) cabinet is a lot of soft metal and plastic, so while one man can install it, be careful not to knock it about in the process. condenser fins have no cover grill, condenser fan area has sides and TOP venting. there are two metal 3x1x.5" feet on the bottom while the evaporator pan has no drain plug (some water gets blow out through the condenser so don't install this above a doorway).

the washable air filter is small in area, which means you'll have to check and clean it often - the unit has an indicator telling you when cleaning is overdue. the fresh air vent rod leaves a 2mm gap even while closed. fan blow direction control goes straight out no matter what you do. If you use this in a bedroom, make sure your pillow is several yards away as the compressor sits to the side of (not behind) the evaporator grill so there's nothing to insulate that puttering noise (this may be true of most modern efficient designed units). I didn't use the side panel kit, but instead DIY with 1x4" boards and foam rubber pipe insulation. Even with my AC unit friendly double hung window, I added a Thermwell Prods. Co. ACB160H A/C Safe Air Conditioner Window Supports to make solo installation re-positioning easier, reduce window frame stress and for added piece of mind. there is only a thin foam layer separating you from the outdoor elements, so I would not plan on leaving this in a window during any subfreezing Winter.PRO INSTALL TIP: the TOP condenser vent and foam evaporator casing means that when it rains, you will hear the drops going through the vent and tapping loudly on the foam.

I took an 7x14" swatch of window screen material, then glued its 4 corners around the vent using aquarium silicon or gorilla glue (see customer photo section) now the rain water still gets into the unit (it's designed for that) but at least I don't hear it so loudly during a thunderstorm.CLOSING THOUGHTS: I do miss the bad old days when a window a/c was a huge tank of a machine, so I'm a bit biased against these new tight space and energy efficient designs. Those other super quiet units they sell costing hundreds more are kind of a gimmick, as all they really did was move the compressor further back from the evaporator so you don't hear it as much - those ancient a/c units I now miss were designed that way by default. so IMHO this is a 3 star air conditioner, with 5 star control logic features and 5 star energy efficiency, so you can average things out according to your own priorities. I wanted the most cooling power per dollar that evenly cools one large room, and would not make me dread reading my Monthly electric company bills this Summer.REMOTE ADVICE: If you depend on the remote thermostat - it consumes 2 AA batteries every Month (the remote seems to work but may not transmit updates to the unit from a distance) so consider using rechargeables AA'a here.

When you turn off the A/C unit on it's own flat panel, this act seems to disengage the remote sensor so you must remember to separate reengage it (press start - remote sensing - on the remote) when you turn the A/C unit back on later, which can be a pain. A way to bypass this may be to use the timer feature to turn off and turn on the unit during weekdays when you are away from home for work/school.MARKETING: "Clean air ionizer" is marketing for a static charged screw - that's all they need add to call it an air ionizer - same as a 12v lighter toy ionizer for your car. I own a separate Ionizer (they are used by professionals to remove smoke & soot odors after an indoor fire), and anyone who has one knows you regularly have to clean off the charge plates where the soot and plaster dust builds up on them. there is no such structure on this A/C to clean, therefore this claim is little more than a marketing gimmick. The cool dry recirculated air is already helping alliviate your allergy symptoms, not some "ionizer" gimmick inside this unit.

also note that the clean filter indicator (that shuts off the unit until you remove and put back the filter) is based on a ~1000 hour timer, and not on when the filter is actually obstructing any airflow. Defies the slang term "window-shaker"What's this?Very impressive, a lot of features and quiet insideGreat air conditioner that exceeded my expectations. Only Blows in One Direction: ForwardDo not buy this machine. Frigidaire does not stand behind their product.A Couple More Recommendations... See Photos~Very happy with the price we paid and the fact that this was available when local stores were running out of A/C units... Amazon delivered it within a week although Prime should have made it sooner, that is not taken into account in my rating here.Installation was simple enough after we purchased a bracket/shelf at our local hardware store. We purchased the one Amazon says is most commonly purchased with this unit here; I think rated for 160 lb, if I remember correctly...Added a small towel underneath to help fill the gap left over our window sill and used this product to seal around all sides surrounding the plexiglass above, Duck Brand 1278973 Self-Adhesive Foam Weatherstrip Seal for Medium Gaps, 5/16-Inch x 3/8-Inch x 10-Foot, 2 Rolls per PackMy husband was going to build a removable frame he found via YouTube but it was so hot when we set it up

, we worked with what we had instead (pictured) and the frame isn't happening until this weekend.I'm uploading some photos so you can see the overall size and how our temporary set-up turned out.The reason I rated this unit three stars is because when we use it on Auto or Eco mode it often comes on for less than a minute before shutting off again. This is while NOT using the remote sensing function. I thought maybe it was due to a thermostat being in the remote but found it does the same thing even with the remote nowhere near the unit.Confession, we've not actually read through the user manual, lol but after more than a month of use, I thought I'd take time to review it with our thoughts so far. Should we find that this is a matter of user error, I'll definitely update this review...Otherwise, I'll add that we feel that the unit is loud (but no louder than any other window A/C units I've experienced). Even on the Low setting, it is fairly noisy.Thankfully, even on Low, it is also quite effective and blows a pretty strong gust of air.

So strong, that no one wants to sit in the dining room while it is on, since it is in our dining room window. I'd give it five stars just for effective cooling, so not to deter anyone from purchasing it...This unit is the strongest one we could find that was rated well while still 115 volt. It effectively cools our whole 1500 square foot rambler with the addition of two fans that help move air down a hallway to the other end of our house.Overall we are happy with the options and find the remote and everything quite user friendly. The fan vents do seem to be cheaply made but they blow cold air fine.In spite of the off and on issues and the unit being loud, we would still buy it again and recommend it to others. We are happy we bought the warranty as well though because we are unsure if it is actually running correctly or not.We are in the Pacific Northwest, for reference, not somewhere that gets extreme heat for long periods of time or very humid. We purchased another unit for my mother-in-law's small apartment and it is much quieter and a ton more energy efficient...
