Well people. . .
I just drilled a hole in the condenser coil trying to drain the cabinet.
Needless to say. . . Be careful before you drill the cabinet.

This is probably caused by the unit not draining to the outside. When you install a window unit a good rule of thumb is to canter it to the outside by 1/4" per foot.

Haier Air Conditioners do not have a drain hole or hose like most A/Cs. This problem can easily be solved by carefully drililng about an 1/8 or 1/4 inch hole in the bottom outside edge directly on the metal frame, around the cooling fins.... This will elt the water drain out...if you when outside and looked in while it was spitting you would see the water pooling up in there. Haier expects us to mount these units at an ungodly angle to drain the water, but drilling a small hole will help (really anywhere in that bottom plate would work since the whole bottom is a "drain pan"

- Yes definately, for every cabinet I've seen you only need to drill a hole about 1/8 inch deep, just enouggh to pierce the cabinet. Let the drill do the work... if you bear down all hard and get in a hurry you will shove the drill bit into the innards when it does break the metal...and theres lots of nice soft aluminium and copper for your carbide bit to chew in to :D

Actually the unit is designed that way. The condenser fans on Haier units are designed to pick up the excess water and spray it onto the condenser to cool it. To me it's a dumb idea and causes everyone to hear your AC (sounds horrible) but it's their design. Yes, I have a hole I put into mine to stop the noise and no it doesn't overheat. Is the splashing onto the condenser necessary? - I don't think so personally.
