Whirlpool Air Con Drainage issue




By cbsoupman on May 31, 2009

" "
My 8000 BTU Whirlpool Air Con is draining water all down inside the window sill. Is there supposed to be a hose/pipe that drains to the outside???

- Appears to be a closed unit. No tube or opening outside is apparent. Advice?

- It is dripping down the inside of the window sill (causing water damage) instead of out the back somehow. I'll remove the cover and check it more thoroughly. Thanks for the help.

Yes, there should be a place for the condensate to drain outside. It's apparently clogged and the drip pan is overfilling. Look for a tube or an opening outside where the condensate should be exiting. This needs to be unclogged.

- All I can say is there has to be some way for the condensate to exit to the outside.

There is no A/C in existence which does not produce condensate, and there has to be some way to remove it from the unit.

Since you don't want the condensate on the inside of the house, it would follow that the unit has to be designed to allow the condensate to flow to the outside.

I can't imagine that there is a "bucket" you have to empty. I assume you have been running the unit satisfactorily with no condensate coming into the house -- is that correct?
