No water is draining out and no water is collecting on the coils either?
Good Morning Friend,
I understand you want to know if your Frigidaire air conditioner, model# FAC126P1, will drain if it is tilted at 5%. I also see that there is no water draining or collecting on the coils. When your air conditioner was installed, you would have wanted to make sure that the top rail and sliding panels at each side were offset to provide the proper pitch to the rear of (5/16"). This is necessary for proper condensed water utilization and drainage. If you are not using the Side Panels for any reason, this pitch to the rear must be maintained! I ask that you please follow up with a comment on the post, at your convenience, to advise if further troubleshooting is needed or if your appliances status has changed successfully. Hope this is helpful.
-Best Regards-

SOURCE: AC draining into neighbors window
we had this issue inside a warehouse, after carefully watching where the water exited the unit, we used a 3" pvc fitting to collect the water and then reduced it to 1" pvc and ran a drain line to a non-objectionable place. obviously if you are on the tenth story of a building this may not be an option... just an idea :)
SOURCE: water doens't drain properly and sitting there,
that's fairly common for window units, it's ok to drill a small hole in the underside of the case to drain the water, just be sure you don't puncture the condenser in the process.

Hello my name is Heath it will be my pleasure to assist you. The drain should be in the back of the unit outside . If you lean the air conditoner slightly toward the outside it should drain outside.
SOURCE: there is no drain hole for water to drip outside.
These are designed to retain some water in the pan. This is for the slinger fan to throw water through the condensing coil. This helps the refrigerant cool and is important to the efficiency of the unit. I would certainly not recommend drilling a hole in the bottom. The hole may cause the water to roll somewhere where damage could occur. Try instead tipping the unit Backwards before bringing it in the house.
SOURCE: Ac is tilted out but water still drains in
check the drain hole located on the outside rear panel appx. 3/4" above the bottom of the units bottom plate to make sure it's not plugged with outside debris,if so depending how badly it's plugged you may be able to unplug the unit and rat out the drain hole with a wire rod carefully so as not to puncture anything inside the case,if not you may need to remove the entire cover and hose out debris
