If water is coming in through the filter grill, then your drain trough is clogged. Go up to, remove cowling, and flush trough drains out. That will take care of water getting inside. I like to use pipe cleaners and poke through drain holes on either side of the trough.

Excess water is also caused by poor air circulation and coils beginning to freeze up. All is well for a while, until the compressor finally turns off, then you turn fan off and water pours from above. So, while up top, also clean the coils of both the evaporator (located above and behind filter opening) as well as condenser. When cleaning evaporator, take care not to spray water into the inside of the coach. You should not need a special cleaning product unless the coils are very nasty, then use a non hazardous cleaner (you will get some on the carpet down below) such as Orange based. Also change your filter every 100 hours of the fan running (regardless of compressor) to minimize air flow restriction.

Hi there, have a Hisense fridge model hr6tff526(s) which is leaking water from the inside,looks like its coming from the top where the fan is located.thx

Hi Kassem

It's probably just condensation water like what you get under an air conditioned car in the summer.

Usually in a Fridge they collect the condensed water and run it down a clear hose pipe to a plastic container at the bottom rear of a fridge.
This pipe can become blocked with food & junk & mould, mice etc.
Find one end and clear the obstruction. A flexible rod or wire or air burst.
Cheers

Rv leaking water under neath

The statement is extremely vague. Is it a travel trailer or a motor coach? Motor coach could be dripping condensation from ac while in use. Is it fresh water and only leaks when connected to a hydrant? Does it only leak when sewage is dumped into the black water holding tank? In short, you must determine under what condition the unit is leaking. Then narrow down where it is leaking from and then identify the failed part. RV manufacturers do not publish plumbing diagrams so it is all visual in the diagnostic process.

2006 Tiffin Phaeton water leak by refrigerator

If you have been in a cold climate, there may be a possibility the water pump has frozen up and cracked. Open the lower vent cover outside for the fridge (about 14"x18") with a few long horizontal air vents in the middle. Use a coin to rotate the tabs from the two upper corner and remove cover. Locate the water line coming into the pump. If you see water in the immediate area, it may be leaking but dry the area up and have someone inside help you by filing a cup with water from the dispenser on the fridge door. If it has cracked, you will see the water start running out. It will also less when the ice maker is filling the tray. These units are plastic and cannot be fixed do you need to get it replaced. Before trying to remove the pump to take it to an RV dealer, make sure you turn off the water supply to the fridge. Most units will have a valve connected by a "T" at the cold water supply going to the kitchen sink

RV AC is working fine, but the water is leaking from the ceiling Where is the drain tube on the unit, The AC unit is a roof type, Duo Therm serial # 43404934, Part # 3105459

Normally, the condensate will drain out of the unit onto the roof and off the edge to the ground. Remove your cover inside (probably 2 screws) and tighten the 4 bolts you will find inside. If they are tight, go to your RV supply place and get new roof gasket. Remove the AC and insert the new gasket and resecure the AC to your roof.

Thanks for your question @ FixYa.com

My rooftop A/C leaks condencer water on the bed. Rain water does not leak inside.

Either your condensate pan is cracked or more likely it is just an issue that the drain is plugged.

Water is leaking from the ac vent in the inside of our rv. We took the cover off and it looks like water is leaking from some kind of hole in a silver box. How do you fix this?

Water is NORMAL in the process of A/C, works like glass of icewater, water vapor condenses when chilled...This condenced water should be drained outside, usually by a black drain hose. you cannot block the water or the system will fail, smell bad, and damage the evaporator (similar in function to a heater core, but for AC).

When set at coojest setting, water begins to pool on roof of my motor home

It is normal for water to come out of your unit. On some units there is a drain line if you take the top off of the unit you will see the line hooked to the condenser side (cold) of the unit. But most units just let water run out on the roof and run off. Your unit may have settled or if you have applied a sealant on your roof you may have changed the flow of the discharged water. The water is moisture that condenses from the air inside your rv. This should not cause you any problems unless you have a leak in your roof.

How to stop leak from Dometic "Brisk air" RV AC into the living area?

  • Start with the condensate drain. Your air conditioner collects condensate water from the evaporator (moisture that was in the air condenses and turns into water on the coil) where it then drains into a pan and then outside of the unit. Look for a drain and clear the blockage. If you have a wet/dry shop vac, you can vacuum out the drain area.
  • Make sure your air filter and your evaporator coil are clean. Clean as necessary.
  • Inspect seals and repair as necessary.
These are the first things you want to do and will, in most all cases, correct the problem you are experiencing. :-)

Coleman tsr rv air conditioner leaks into rv when running

It probably has a clogged condensate drain. Take off the cover on top the RV and check hoses or tubes leaving unit for debris or lint. Often this water is used to help cool the condenser so look for leaves pine needles etc in the pan. There may be a cover you can remove on the evaporator section that will allow you to clean the collection pan and hose or trough. Is it possible the RV is far enough out of level that the condensate can't "run uphill"? Always power off while working on this unit unless you are electric savvy. Good luck!
