With real high humididty this will be a problem I might suggest that you find some kind of pair and place it inside the pail but stacked onotp a a block to keep the unit dry until things dry out a bit .. Its the weather not the unit thats the problem let me know
Thank you so much for your expedite answer. However, I am afraid I do not fully understand how to solve the problem. Please allow to ask those questions: 1. what king of pair do you recommend? 2. how do I install it inside the pail? Will I have to open the Ac to do so? How can putting a block keep the unit dry? Thank you !
I'm sorry I shuld have read my post better I meant to say a pail or drum of some sort. just anything large enough and deep enough to hold the unit and the excess water. . as the unit over flows it will spill in to he pail and not on the floor. and if you have it on a block of sorts it will also keep it from flooding the unit . the other option is to set your alarm for about 4 hours and get upa dump it.. I would opt for the pail or bucket tell thing dry out and cool down a bit
Thank's again for your response. I already bought a huge flat rectangular pail and I put the unit on the bucket. Basically when it overflows the excess water goes into the pail and I drain every morning. (Thank's for the suggestion). This is odviously a temporary solution. I would like to know what may be the source of the problem and HOW TO FIX IT? Can you help me on that? Thank's
The unit is doing whats it is supposed to do. it just that it does not have the storage capisity for real high humdity . The best solution would be a window unit that would drain to the outside and it would be more effecent as well in terms off colling the area. Sorry I cannot provide a better solution .
OK. Thank you very much for your time. I greatly appreciate. This AC was used to work fine I believe that, as you said, high humidity (coupled with heat wave) is messing up the system. Have a good day.

Drainage/Routine Maintenance
This air conditioner produces water during normal
operation. The unit should be drained if it is not
going to be run for an extended period of time.
The unit should also be drained prior to storage
at the end of the cooling season.
To drain the unit, follow the instructions below:
1. Unplug the power cord and roll the unit to a
drain or outside.
2. Pull out the drain cap and allow water
to drain from the unit.
3. Securely replace the drain cap.
Thanks for choosing FixYa,
