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.
Check the your A/C unit to make sure it's level (or at the incline recommended by mfgr.) Most units are water-tolerant, but you don't want to worry about your windowsill or floors getting moldy.
It could because the condensate pan is not draining and when on AC, the blower is faster. Try running the heat on high fan. take a shop vac and attach it to the end of the condensate drain to remove any debris stuck in drain line.
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.
A lot of the newer window units design the outside fan to pickup the condensate water and sling it onto the coil. The evaporative effect makes the unit run more efficiently. They ususally don't spit, but if the unit is running well, otherwise, I would't worry about it.
I have the same AC and had this problem. Sludge builds up inside the bottom of the unit from dust and water build up causing it not to drain and the fan spits the water out. Its a fairly simple fix with a philips screw driver and a wet vac. Unplug the AC first. Remove the AC from the window. Remove the screw inside the front panel below the filter screen. Then you can pop the whole front panel off by pulling it with a little pressure. Now you need to remove the 3 screws holding each of the slider panels onto the side of the AC. Then remove the 3 screws on the bottom of the left and bottom of the right side of the AC. Remove the 3 screws holding the bar on top of the AC. Lastly remove the 2 screws on the back of the AC in the bottom Left and Right corners. You can now pull the top cover off. You can now use your wet vac to vacuum out the sludge that is in the bottom of the AC from the right and left side. There's a ground wire that connects from the fan motor to the bottom plate of the AC, be careful not to hit it. I knocked mine off possibly to it having been rusting in the backed up sludge and had to strip the wire and reconnect it.
It is freezing up. Change or clean the filter(s) and turn it off until it thaws. If this doesn't work the problem may be more serious. Usually this means it is low on freon. A technician will have to do this repair due to EPA restrictions on the refrigerant
It needs to be installed sloping slightly outside. It is not meant to be level. Use boards or whatever to do this. If this doesn't solve the problem the drain channel is plugged. Take off the outer case and look at the bottom there should be some kind of channel from in front to the back. Use a turkey baster or something to flush it. The back may be fairly deep to hold some water. Don't drill a hole. Some units keep some water in the back so the outside fan can throw it through the condensor to help cool it.
