Tilt window air conditioner to drain water outside
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- If window air conditioner is not tilted far enough outside, water can back up and flood the inside. In that case, unplug drain hole and let the water drain and pour out. This correct angle is about 3.6° on a 6,000 BTU LG.

I learned nothing here. Your video didn't really explain anything about how to tilt the air conditioner.
cablebrain yes he said we didn’t have to that they was already made for a window to just put it in the window....I’ll let ya no how this works for me by this time Tom. Cause I just put ours in an exact size window as the a/c....Lets hope it cools this residence off!! Today showed 32oC radio says 39 with humidity....cooler outside than in but in evenings we got very hungry mosquitoe s that come in at dusk. Got my fingers crossed sitting out getting bit to hot hopein ac will cool it off for sleeping...NewBrunswick Canada 🇨🇦
@@kawliga41 Then why have a video titled, "Tilt window air conditioner to drain water outside
" if there is nothing to do about it anyway? It should have been titled, "Don't tilt your air conditioner backwards, or your water won't drain properly."
Seriously if this is the case then tell me plzzz I need this to work I should say desperately want this to work so far it’s cold in front of it but the house is still warm and no water coming out of back which I assume has too happen for it to be working properly it was only used a few months last yr... js help plzzz
@@kawliga41 Be sure that the air conditioner is set to recycle the air that is in the house, not set to bring in fresh air. I don't know if that helps at all.
GE didn't compensate or put a drain hole in my ac at all. Now I got a floor soaked with water!
Thank you for your video. You are the only individual who put up a video like this, which is exactly what I needed. I did read in my GE air conditioner, manual where it does say place it in the window level, or with a slight tilt, which is basically what you said, I felt it needed a slight more tilt so I cut the wood to shave Hope everything goes fine. Thanks for your video deeply. Appreciate it.
I'd do the same you did. Stay cool this summer ❄️
No, it didn't help. You didn't show anything.
I noticed that if I further tilt the ac unit - it will prematurely fail - vs installing level. Most ac units come with those flap attachments that go in window seam. So like this video states, most manufacturers build units with tilt already installed - just install level where flaps fit in window seam. Usually after about 3 or 4 years the ac units will eventually start leaking inside, this due to algae buildup - turn off and clean back with hose. But usually after about 3 to 5 years it just time to get a new one because after a while they just go bad or don't cool as well. Replacing a 5000 BTU Unit for $130 bucks still cheaper than calling an ac repair man.
Good point
GE is not one of those manufacturers evidently!
Trump lies again
sad that new ones dont last worth a shit, i have an old fedders from the 70s and a kenmore from 1986 that still work fine with just normal cleaning, also have a general electric carry cool from the 80s that also works a dream. also they dont have cheap Styrofoam that gets mold easily.
I think I just found the answer to my problem. I hope it works.
That is interesting to know. Thank you for the information.
yes, if its gurgling, tilt it back a little
Good little tip video.. I just uploaded my friends air conditioner that I will be tackling today check out how dirty it is.. ♡Tom from New Jersey ♡
Keep up the great work on the videos
I live in a mobile home and me and my husband have been haveing a problem with our ac unit we have deeped cleaned it let it fully dry and put it back in cuz it wasnt dripping enough and condensation was collecting alittle bit on the top sides and bottom of the unit on the inside the house and its getting the wall wet we have tried tilting it a good bit but we cant tilt it anymore its the explandable panels on the side cant be moved at all or it wount be flush to the window seal do you have any ideas that would help the condensation not collect to the front of the unit and go outside
Sounds like mold is clogging the drain tube.
Take it out the window take it apart on a table then get a bottle with bleach and soap spray it and scrub it ,take hose in jet and clean in-between the fan and hose the drain let unit dry 2 hours I have to do mine every few months debris get in it I'm in a mobile home hope this helps
I tilt mine back to 6 is that going to hurt it
Do "NOT" ever drill the sleeve. They are talking about a minimum tilt slope ....they should also say, you should "NOT" tilt more than half an inch that can cause problems also!!!!
Go to your RUclips search type in how to take window ac out and clean them,their is a lasy shows you how to do it
The problem is if you put the unit in the window where the unit bracket is, the window might not be level enough to let the unit lean down.
In that case I might tilt the AC back 1/2 - 1" by jamming a couple pieces of wood under the front side.
Terrible video, you did not show how to do it and how to do it safely
no...if sits level then not tilted is it
Indeed
Why is my ac water dripping on my house
If you've already tilted it slightly towards the outside, have you inspected it for mold? Use a flashlight and check it out. Else you might wanna remove drain plug to let water in the back out. Good luck & report back how it goes.
@@p1nesap I installed it in the window the way I think it's suppose to be but the water is dripping on the house. Do you think I installed it wrong?
@@p1nesap Well where is the drain plug? AND if its in the window how am I suppose to do that?
@@p1nesapHOW do you tilt your AC? My window isn’t titled so I don’t understand how it is physically possible. Why does this video refuse to show this and why does everyone in the comments refuse to explain this?
@@HoweyJR_ Water drips outside my house too. It happens. You might fit a hose into the drain hole and guide it on the ground away from your house.
This is stupid. HOW do I tilt my air conditioner back? This video shows nothing.
I had to put my ac unit further out cause it keeps dripping 💦 inside my apt then I noticed the tenant above has his ac on 24 hours a day and constantly drips water into our I told him about plus I even got sick and we have mold all over our window and water stains not even our super does anything about it now they saying we have to pay for water damage we went to court and they even said it's coming from the above apt my super just look at me and walk away boy he felt really stupid now they have to repair our apt cause we have mold outside of the windows
Thanks for posting your story. I get drips from upstairs but my drain pan is unplugged so not much mold. It's been a very humid summer in the northeast and I've got spots of mold on styrofoam which I never get.
@@p1nesap i had to take my ac apart to clean it out make sure your ac drop out the water from the back not the front I had to tilt mine a little back in the apt window now the water drips out plus I had to cover the top of my ac when it's not in use my above renter that live in the bld had his on 24/7 and let me tell you his ac water mess up mine I had mold and rust all over my ac unit I only had it for a year now
@@randyrogers263 Thanks for posting. Many others will read this & learn.
Useless
Makes no sense at all
