MY AC IS LEAKING UNDERNEATH THE UNIT ON THE INSIDE. NOTHING COMES OUT THE DRAIN HOSE THAT GOES TO THE OUTSIDE AND HASN 'T SINCE PUTTING IN MY NEW AC APPROX 5 YEARS AGO. YOU CAN SHOOT WATER THRU THAT HOSE FROM THE OUTSIDE AND WATER WILL COME OUT UNDERNEATH THE UNIT. THE WAY THE PVC PIPES ARE ON THE INSIDE, I CAN'T FIGURE NOW TO SHOOT WATER FROM THE INSIDE OUT. HOPE I MAKE SENSE. THANK YOU!!!

After reading your post, it made perfect sense. In your situation, you don't want to use water to clear the PVC pipe(s), you should use compressed air. Which is what most HVAC technicians use. If you know someone that has a portable air compressor, that would definitely do the trick. You would do all this from the outside, rather than the inside.

I hope this helped you and thanks for choosing FixYa.

How do I stop my Domestic Duo Therm AC from leaking inside?

as all ac units produce water when operating, there will be a drain hole and tube to the outside of the unit
possibly under the cover or lining
it will be at one end of the drain pan and you may have to use a bit of wire to push out the gunk and dust that will be blocking the hose
other than that take it to a caravan shop and have the technicians clean out the hose for you

Leaking under neath heating unit but it's not the hose but a little white knob underneath unit

ac drain . There could be a blockage in the AC drain pipe that runs under the car. This can usually be unblocked with compressed air they jack up vehicle takes 30 seconds to fix with vehicle hoist.
When it blocks up the AC unit builds up with water and leaks clear water inside the car. if it was green water it would be the heater core leaking coolant.

Dishwasher leaks

Hello - Since you have previously replaced the bottom gasket and issue continues I suggest contacting a professional to move forward accurately. The leak could possibly be coming from the drain motor/pump or a loose hose connection located underneath.

My LG LP1200DXR Portable Air Conditioner seems to be working properly, cooling the room as it should but no longer is draining any water. It does not shut off as it would when it is full although I have...

Actually, your unit was not designed for continuous draining. It needs water in the tank to help cool the coils. I'm sort of surprised that the unit hasn't stopped cooling or hasn't overheated. Since you haven't seen any water in the drain tank you have, it may have pasted the point of no return. Disconnect the hose, reinstall the drain plug and hope that you have to start emptying the tank again, soon.

Hope this helped you and thanks for choosing FixYa.

Sharp CV-P10NC AC unit it has a puddle of water coming down.

earlier models had a pan you had to empty .. your model has a small pump that is supposed to pump the water out the hot air vent (that goes thru the window} .. since its leaking it is likely that the pump inlet is clogged ... you might have to remove a panel to get at that ... it will be near the bottom of the unit (near the drainage nozzle) ... also check the hose that goes out thru the outside vent .. make sure its not cracked, clogged or smashed ... temporarily you can use the drain nozzle to drain off the water to a lower area (it cant drain up without the pump) ...

Water on floor

There are 2 places it could be coming from, most likely is a leaking or bad "heater core". If it's not a heater core, it would be "condensation" from your air conditioning system. Check your coolant first. If it's low, your heater core is leaking the coolant inside the vehicle. If you don't repair this problem it can lead to severe engine damage. If it's not the heater core, the condensation buildup from your air conditioner is not properly draining outside the vehicle. Could be as simple as a clogged, or damaged drain hose.

Wet on Passenger side floor when AC is on

Auto ac units have an outside drain for the condensation. If you ever noticed a car running and it looks like it's leaking something on a hot day it's the condensed water from the ac unit draining. What you have is a clogged or disconnected drain hose.
You need to find the hose and drain and reconnect them. Sounds simple, good luck.
