Panasonic air conditioner problem

Good Morning Friend,

I understand that you have water spitting out of the top vent on your Frigidaire air conditioner, model# FAC105P1A. I also see that it sounds like water is gurgling through the pipes and you want to know how to fix it. If your air conditioner is also leaking outside, this is normal during excessively humid days, due to it removing large quantities of moisture from a humid room. If it is also dripping inside, I suggest slightly tilting your air conditioner to the outside, to allow water drainage. I ask that you please follow up with a comment on the post, at your convenience, to advise if further troubleshooting is needed or if your air conditioner status has changed successfully. Hope this is helpful.

-Best Regards-

Could probably replace the hose with bits from ur local hardware store.

Most likely the AC condensation drain is stopped up. They get dust and even spider nests in them. Clean the tube by using a flexible piece of wire or something similar. DON'T USE A COAT HANGER WIRE. A stiff wire can punch a hole in the hose. The other method that can work is to use a turkey baster and force water in the hose to back flush it.

Thanks for using FixYa.

impreston - with out the following parts , you really don't have "just the air conditioner."

1- Flexible Exhaust Hose
2- Hose Adapters
1- Sliding Window Kit
1-Foam Window Seal
1-Remote Control

The drain hose is something you supply. A garden hose, no longer than 5 feet will do if you want it to be a continusos drain, rather than drain into the water collectiong bucket. But, without the first 4 items lister above, you won't be able to operate the unit.

Here is a link that may be of some help to you, since you don't have an Owner's Manual.

You will beed to contact Frigidaire (1 -800-374-4432 ) for the parts you're missing.

Hope this helped you. Please let me know. Thanks.

Hi,
The drain that runs the condensation from the unit is plugged or trapped...the condensation then blows out the front...

Often dust and dirt will plug up the hole in the bottom pan...and keep the water from running out...

Below the vents, there is a drain hole that is clogged with dirt. It comes from dust in the air, getting washed off the cooling fins.

All air conditioning units remove moister from the air.Which is good,it helps the moister on your skin evaporate faster,and helps cool you down.If its a central heat/cooling unit it should have some form of drain pipe to carry this moister away from the unit.Usually a white pvc tubing. Sometimes these become clogged with dirt,or even believe it not algae.If there is no drain someone didn't do the job right.(clean the gunk out of the pipe,or replace the tubing). If your talking about a window unit the unit will drain out the back of the unit,but the air conditioner has to be tilted in such a way that any water inside the unit will flow toward the back of the unit. (simply lower the outside end of the unit a little lower than the side stuck in the window).I see you mentioned a vent so you are probably talking about a air handling unit in your home.The vent should just be for fresh air.If you have a very tight house an air handling unit will be designed to bring fresh air into the house(to keep your air fresh).That is usually its only function.There should also be a small drain pipe leaving the unit somewhere.Some modern units even have a back up drain if the first clogs,and maybe even a signal that tells you the first pipe is clogged.
