Glad to hear the drain hole is clear and functioning as it should. Now, all you need to do is adjust the downward tilt at the rear of the unit to 1/4" to 1/2". That way the water will flow to the back and drain, before it completely fills up and water blows out the front.
Hope this helped you and thanks for choosing FixYa.
Check the filter and wash it out while your looking at it. be certain that the unit is tilted ot the outside about 1 inch or so. so it can drain .. Hope this helps. Let me know will ya?
This usually caused by high humidity and a build up in the condensation pan under the unit. Or the drain pan has a clog it's drain In addition, if the outside part of the unit is not sloped (tilted) down 1/2", to allow the water to run to the back of the pan it builds up under the front of the unit.
If the water is leaking to the outside, that is normal. Especially if, the humidity is high outside.
If it's leaking to the inside. No, that's not normal and is due to improper installation. The rear of the unit should tilt down about 1/4" , to allow the water to drain outside via the drain pan hole.
water normally condenses in the evaporator .. this runs down to a pan that drains to the outside section of the air conditioner .. there it it used to help cool the condenser and overflow runs out a drain in the back ... your unit is not draining the water properly to the back section .. that is usually caused by the air conditioner being being mounted with its top tilted toward the inside ... it should be level or slightly tilted toward outside for proper drainage ... its also possible that paper or other debree has clogged the drains inside the unit from the front section going to the back section ..
If you're getting water inside, you need to put more tilt into the unit. The back end should be tilted down, no less than 1/2" per foot. If the AC is 1 1/2 feet long, from front to back, the back should be AT LEAST 3/4" lower than the front. MORE IS BETTER.
tilt the unit toward the back so it will drain toward the back or you will have a mess on your hands,tilt it just about 1/2 in so the water runs toward the back and drains outside and very important to air filter clean
Dear cmr 1,
As you have mentioned that it look like the fan hitting something, this is possible. This kind of problem can occur while transporting the machine. Some times the fan becomes loose because of viberation. So the fan has to be realign. Regarding the tilt it is okay to have 1/4 inch tilt backwards. Since the air-conditioner is brand new it is advisable to contact the company.
