Model FFRA051WA1 Frigidaire 5000BTU window AC unit - it does not drain any water outside or anywhere.

It's brand new and been running for 3 days. It cools great, but where is the water going? I'm afraid there's something wrong with it.

    Hi Connie Blankenship, We want to help you with your question, but we need more information from you. Can you please add details in the comment box?
    Is it humid in your house or dry air ?
    If dry air the water comes from the water in the air. So if it is a dry air then there won't be a lot of water.
    The user manual states it drips out the unit. if it does not drip under humid conditions it might be installed incorrectly . ie drip hole is covered under unit. Could not find installion manual online .

It uses the condensation to cool the coil. It is normal to not see any water

What is the problem when an air conditioner begins to freeze up?
Freezing up is caused by
•dirty air filter or evaporator coil(indoor coil)
•dirty blower wheel or blower fan blades
•low freon
•weak or slow blower motor
If air filter and indoor coil are clean may be low on freon. Blower wheels seldom get dirty on window units. Pull unit from window and clean both coils with a water hose. Careful not to get any electrical wet. Let dry for a while and reinstall. If it continues to freeze its a freon problem most the time.

Where is there a drain hole for the water?
Your Frigidaire window unit is the same as any other window unit. Typically window unit air conditioners don't have a drain. This is why you have to make sure the back of the unit (the end that goes outside) is slightly lower than the front when you put it in a window. When it gets so high with water it drains out the back onto the ground.

I have a window model and lost my user guide. I was wondering where the water empties?
There's a drain pan under the unit. I has a drain hole on the outside (outside the wall) part of the AC. If the unit is installed properly and has a 1/4" to 1/2" downward tilt on the outside, the water runs to the rear of the drain pan and drains out thru the drain hole. That's assuming the drain hole is not clogged.

Get rid of the old stuff,too big to be used
Newer unit can't be inside the old sleeve as you call it

Just install the new unit how you see fit, to seal
it up

5000BTU is too small

A 7,200,8,000 or 10,000 BTU is the same size & about
the same price.

Ac is tilted out but water still drains in
Hi!!
Look on the bottom back of the unit for the drain hole is probably clogged, use a piece of wire to unplug it.

Water leaking inward
There should be a drip tray that catches all the condensation and funnels it out the back. Check for holes, cracks or a plugged drain hole.

Leaking water from underneath.
Hello my name is Heath it will be my pleasure to assist you. The drain should be in the back of the unit outside . If you lean the air conditoner slightly toward the outside it should drain outside.

Have 5000BTU Goldstar window unit. Water dripping
the bottom of the case from the outside usually has a "divot" in it below the coil to allow flow from the hose that runs across the bottom of the unit, try pressuring up and "blowing out" any obstruction, if this does not work then you may have to disassemble the unit and verify the drainpan is not cracked below the indoor coil (rare)

Just purchased a 15000 btu 110 Frigidaire window unit and we love it. However, since the rear of the AC is actually on the back porch, the water from the AC runs down the wall and on to the floor. We could...
window units slide into an outside frame section
there is a hose attachment area at the back of the ac unit proper that a hose can be attached to
and there should be a section in the frame that allows the hose to be fitted to that ac unit proper
the unit should be mounted so that it actually slopes slightly down at the rear so water can collect at that drain point
there are adaptors that should have come in the packing box for hose attachment
if not, many people use white poly piping or electrical conduit with suitable elbows to collect the water at the hole and pipe it back to the wall into a bucket and the collected water used to water plants and gardens
