Go around the back side and unplug the drain hole! These are designed to drain out the back through a hole in the drain pan. Maybe your unit is tipping forward and not draining like it should. You can use a coat hanger or wire or even a shop vac to remove debris from the drain.

Making a noise and spitting water inside

your ac unit may not be installed properly, it needs a 1/4 inch tilt to allow water to drain properly outside. Also make sure your drain plug is open to allow the water to drain out.

Water in air conditioner

A lot of the newer window units design the outside fan to pickup the condensate water and sling it onto the coil. The evaporative effect makes the unit run more efficiently. They ususally don't spit, but if the unit is running well, otherwise, I would't worry about it.

Condensation buildup

Make sure the unit tilts towards the outside. If it's installed level or tilted toward front it will not drain properly.

It's two years old, and is now spitting out lots of water.

Should have a drain on the unit. Check for ports that have debris in them on the outside of the unit. Clean the debris out and the unit should drain normally.

Started making a noise, spitting water from vent

there is a drain on the pan under the cooling coil - your "blades" if you are looking in from the front cover - the opening could be stopped up going to the back of the unit - you will have to pull it out of shell to see drain line

My Lg split system air con spits water

Make sure the unit is tilted downward at the back. About 1" lower than the front is good. Even with a drain, the water will pool inside if it doesn't have a slope for drainage.
