Celiera 51GW 18000BTU mini split a/c heat, water collects on top rear coil and drips into fan housing and comes out bottom

While cooling, water is supposed to drip off the evaporator coil and flow out the unit. That's a feature of air conditioning. You get a little bit of control of where the water drips to by installing tubing to conduct the water wherever you like, unless the outlet port is plugged up. Poke a toothpick up it and see if that unclogs it.

How do u change a thermostat in a 99 buick la sabre, there is only cold heat coming out of the heater

The thermostat is used to control the flow of engine coolant. When the engine is cold, the thermostat is closed to prevent coolant from circulating through the engine. As the engine begins to warm up, the thermostat opens to allow the coolant to flow through the radiator and cool the engine to its normal operating temperature. Fuel economy and engine durability is increased when operated at normal operating temperature.


REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
CAUTION Never open, service or drain the radiator or cooling system when hot; the system is under pressure and will release scalding hot coolant and steam which can cause severe burns and other bodily harm. Also, when draining engine coolant, keep in mind that cats and dogs are attracted to ethylene glycol antifreeze and could drink any that is left in an uncovered container or in puddles on the ground. This will prove fatal in sufficient quantities. Always drain coolant into a sealable container. Coolant should be reused unless it is contaminated or is several years old.
  1. If necessary, unfasten the retainer and remove the upper engine cover.
  2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  3. Remove the air cleaner and duct assembly.
  4. Partially drain the engine cooling system, into a suitable container, to a level below the thermostat.
  5. Disconnect the upper radiator hose from the water outlet.
  1. If necessary, detach the electrical connections from the throttle body assembly.
  2. Unfasten the water outlet attaching bolts, then remove the water outlet.
  1. Remove the thermostat. Remove and discard the gasket.
  1. Thoroughly clean the manifold water inlet and water outlet mating surfaces. Inspect the water outlet for corrosion or other damage, and replace if necessary.

Fig. 9: Thermostat and water outlet mounting - 3.8L (VIN L) engine shown

Fig. 10: Exploded view of the thermostat, gasket and housing assembly - 1997 vehicle shown

To install:

  1. Position the thermostat into the intake manifold with a new gasket.
  2. Install the water outlet to the intake manifold with RTV sealer. Tighten the attaching bolts to 20 ft. lbs. (27 Nm).
  3. Connect the radiator hose to the water outlet housing.
  4. If necessary, attach the electrical connections to the throttle body assembly.
  5. Install the air cleaner assembly, then connect the negative battery cable.
  6. Refill the engine with the specified type and amount of engine coolant. Start the engine and check for coolant leaks.

I hope this helps; remember to rate this post. Good luck.

LEAKING ON THE INSIDE OF THE HOUSE

There is an outlet to allow condensed water to flow outside the house from the AC unit runs. Please check whether there is any dust block in the tube and once you clean it water will flow out and not into the house. Sometime the garden lizard or flycatcher could get into the drain pipe and got stuck and block the outflow of condensed water.

Please ensure that the window air conditioner is installed in such a manner the out side portion of the unit is slanted or tilted to the back so that the water will run out and not into the room. By providing some pad to the front portion of the unit the above could be achieved and condensed water will not flow into the room.

Where do i refill coolant? message reading low engine coolant.

please rate, thx Coolant Recovery System NOTE: When the water thermostat (8575) is closed, there is no flow through the radiator coolant recovery reservoir (8A080).

Trapped air in the cooling system must be removed. A pressurized radiator coolant recovery reservoir system is used which continuously separates the air from the cooling system.
  • When the water thermostat is open, coolant flows through the small hose from the top of the radiator outlet tank to the radiator coolant recovery reservoir.
  • The radiator coolant recovery reservoir separates any trapped air from the coolant and replenishes the system through its radiator coolant recovery hose to the water thermostat housing.
  • The radiator coolant recovery reservoir serves as the location for:
    • service fill
    • coolant expansion during warm-up
    • system pressurization from the pressure relief cap and
    • air separation during operation
  • The radiator coolant recovery reservoir is designed to have approximately 0.5-1 liter (0.53-1.06 quarts) of air when cold to allow for coolant expansion.
