Quick Fix leaky window unit air conditioner
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 авг 2017
- PLEASE NOTE: The units require a small amount of water in the pan to splash up and cool the condenser. If you drill the hole too big it will completely drain and could hurt the unit. Mine has been fine now for 3 years but I have heard of other people having issues. I think it all depends on your climate and the angle of the unit. This unit even at the proper angle still dripped inside even after cleaning all the passages.
My window unit leaks on the wood.... This is how I fix it.
It is dripping into the window sill because your unit is not pitched downward. You need between an eighth to a quarter inch pitch/drop from the front of the unit to the back, and not any more than this.. Take a two foot level and place it on the front top and hold it level. Then measure the distance from the level to the rear top of your unit. Get the 1/8 to 1/4" pitch and secure unit in this position with screws to the frame or by propping it up with a stand or mounting. This will allow some water to stay in the pan and splash against the fan blades onto the condenser which helps cool the condenser for better cooling. If the water rises too much it will reach the pan drain hole and drain out before reaching the window as the water is running uphill giving the drain time to expel it. . If your unit is level or pitched toward the front some of the water will run into your window sill before draining. Keep the unit flushed out with water by spraying hose through the outside condenser coils which will knock out a lot of the gunk built up on the inner side of the condenser which is the dirtiest due to the fan pushing dirty air onto it. Condenser coils need to be kept clear of major gunk build up in order to cool properly and not over use/over heat the compressor. Flush out the pan and make sure the pan drain hole is clear. If you needed additional holes to drain water the manufacturer would have provided them. If you remove all the water in the pan by drilling holes the unit will run a little quieter without the splashing sound of water but will cool less efficiently. I take mine out of the window every couple of years and do a thorough cleaning with it on the ground and partially disassembled to get to the inter side of the condenser.
Wow thank you so much im gonna ask hubby to do this tomorrow ... Thank God for our backup unit in the meantime!
Thank you for sharing MrJimTim. You just helped me fix my air conditioner today. The temperature here was 99 degrees today! The heat index was over 100 degrees. Thanks again sir!
I couldn’t stop laughing at the end
Yeah whatever!!! Made my day!!!
I love your attitude rock on dude
I know!!!! And I was listening so close to learn about what he was saying!!! LOL!!!!!
Thank you for sharing.. for the Giggle too.. funny way to end... stay safe and healthy!
you are funny! I like the simple way you found the water, drill a hole/ carefully of course!
LOL, thank you for sharing.
"yeah whatever" too funny.
Soooo funny!!!!
Nice trick with the plastic water slide .
Worked like a charm but I did two holes kinda spaces apart because I couldn’t cage where the water was building up but now it’s not leaking ❤️
Will it effect the ac?
You are the real Man , too many Joker on water leaking air conditioner .
A man looking for something to fix around the house all I ever wanted. at least now I know they are out there trash the video gamer
OMG!! DO NOT DO THIS! Just clean the drain passages. There is supposed to be water in the bottom pan, in which the fan spits around to cool the compressor. If you do as this guy does, your unit will burn out. If you read the instructions, it says to add water to the pan of new units or if they have been in storage; once the unit is running, it will fill the pan automatically.
@batonbeauty Mold is what usually clogs them up. I just pour bleach into the pan, right in the window. Also make sure the unit is sloped to the outside. I used to do professional mold remediation and our tests proved bleach is the best thing to kill mold.
100% correct...
dumbass
A little bit of an overreaction there. No, it will not burn out because of this, it will just be less energy efficient. The fan in the rear is the main thing cooling the condenser coils. Some people don’t like the random noise of the water being splashed around by the fan.
Is there a way to get bleach into the drain pan without taking it completely off of the unit? Thank you
Good weather resistant- whatever....lmao 🤣
He really just said whatever! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 and smaarrrttt I wouldn’t of ever thought of that stapling that to the house
Thanks! This will help me not get too uptight while I'm working on mine. I'll just say, "Yeah. Whatever." 😂
What causes excess water leak OUTSIDE?
Best fix ive found, thank you!

Cool video. Mine is leaking like Niagara Falls.
I suffer from Occipital nerve headaches...i wonder if this would help
Our A/C is working but not cooling, keeps freezing up... What can we do?
Cool idea, but not convenient when you’re 2 stories high
sir it is required to slant the ac unit a little bit higher at the front..at what is the correct way to slant?
thanks! It worked for me.
Tell how i fixed mine. Those rectangle plastic trash cans got 2 wheels, Just set it cocky eye under the unit and place a block to hold it THAT IT! I'am smart and happy camper!
This is a very bad idea bro. I agree with Zac vaper for all the reasons he stated. Do not do this!
my understanding is that most air conditioners are supposed to have water in the pan. while this fix works for a time the first thing you should try is to pitch your AC outside and clear the drain holes.
cool thanks to your tip it worked like a charm!

OMG! THANK YOU!!!
Maybe just add the plastic bit right under the hole of the air conditioner rather than on the house
I feel like this ALL the time. "Whatever. Lemme see what else is broken so I can fix it.."
WHATEVER
LOL THANKS , we got it lol
Thank you so much,🤪😚🤩😔😣😋😄
Can't do it your way, I live on the 9th floor😞
The ending lmfaoo
2:30. ......woah there. 😆 lol
I like putting a good coat of exterior. .. Yea whatever ! Lol
Don't do that somebody trippin
Too bad my unit is on the second floor...
To add that piece of plastic for the drip was pointless your house gets rained on naturally
You've got to remember during the summer this will drip constantly up to 24 hours a day 7 days a week. The paint will wear through and the wood on the house will begin to rot after a while. I've seen it happen on many houses I've worked on. Also this is somewhat protected by the eve of the house to prevent rain from pouring in directly at the quarter round

I honestly didn't expect this video to get more than 100. Congrats on being number 77,777! 👏 👏 👏 👏
Engineers had their heads up their asses when they designed that.
Lol
i'm gonna do mine after i take it out of the window, clean it, hose it off, dry it and put it back in. thanks
That's a great idea. Fortunately, this one has only been installed for a few weeks. It can get really nasty if it leaks for a while. I've had to replace wooden window sills before due to rotting from window units. Thanks for watching!
Egh, whatever 😂
I can't believe you said whatever at the end of his video and usually passive aggressive people use whatever but I'm just saying that those people use that I'm not saying he is but those kind of people use whatever because it's one word and then they leave you hanging but this guy should have never said whatever at the end of the video was very unprofessional like I was very rude I think
I really hope you're joking since everyone else thought it was funny. I was saying whatever to myself. Kindly use punctuation next time so that we can have an easier time interpreting your comment. LoL. Thanks! 😂
