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.

The window unit must be set level side-to-side and slightly tilted down toward the outside (condenser) coil. The Condensation (water) from the cooling coil (evaporator) must run toward the outside fan where it will be picked up by the fan blade and thrown onto the condenser coil to promote cooling of the coil.
If you are referring to the unit doing this on the outside of the structure, this is normal. the "Hamster Wheel" is designed to carry a small amount of water and create a light amount of water to go onto the condenser to help with the evaporation and cooling process. If this is on the inside of the structure, the unit may not be level or another issue causing improper drainage.
i have had units turned too cold and ice forms on coils. shut unit down and take it out of window. turn /tilt and when all water runs out, re install and turn back on to a Higher , less cold setting.
The AC fan is blowing the water that has condensed on the cooling pipes.It is possible that there is clogging of dirt in the fins of the cooling pipe'
this results in water logging.The filters must be clogged and dirt has accumalated.Use a good air spray or a water jet to clean.The condensed water must flow to the rear of the unit to drain out .{A/C must be fitted slightly tilted.}.Hope this helps.
ok,,il be blunt,,,throw it away,,its past its best,,to have it fixed would be costly so do yourself a faver and just buy a new unit,,,,then show it off to all your friends,,,like look what iv got,,,eat your hart out!!!
it would be the cheapest way out of this
sounds like the drain is clogged, it usually comes out if the outside of the unit just below the coil in the middle of the back, there may or may not be a hose attached to the front pan below the evaporator, try pressuring it up to blow it out. worst case you may have to remove from the window, disassemble and clean. hope this helps...
When you observe this is your compressor quiet? Then most likely your refrigerator is in defrost mode. The water is coming off the evaporator (think of a very cold radiator) as the defrost heater element warms. This element is similar to the electric heating element in the bottom of your electric oven. the water hits it and it will hiss. This is part of the normal operation of a refrigerator. The defrost cycle usually lasts from 20-30 mins and will occur 4-6 times a day. If you are having trouble with frozen food melting then re-freezing, or the temps are on the warm side, you might need to have your defrost timer or defrost termination switch looked at.
Make sure the window unit is evenly placed inside the window frame.Just a slight twisting of the housing will cause the fan blade to scrape the housing. Make sure that the fan blade has no come loose from the fan motor shaft if that does not solve the problem. Also make sure the window unit tilts slightly downward so that any water from the condensate produced inside the home on the condenser coil can drain down the slope to the outsidelike the way explained. I have also seen units that were positioned correctly but the drain trough is blocked and will not allow the water to drain outside the house. Let Me Know, Thanks, Sea Breeze
