I was able to fix my AC (same GE you have). In year 2 and now year 3 it would spit water like crazy after a few hours, just like this video shows, i had the drain plug pulled, i tried tilting the unit even more to the outside, even though it's suppose to be level and nothing would work. So, I took the AC out of the window, took off the front cover and also the entire unit cover. On the front left side there is a little tunnel for water to drain to the back, I cleaned that out and there was some debri and must have been enought to cause my issue, there was some dirt and dead beattle dry rotted body. I was suprised since I don't have tree leaves or anything I would have thought could have clogged it up. The other thing I did was also drill a hole in the bottom back where that drain tunnel is. The reason I did this was because the built in drain plug, I could not see how the water from the front could easily get to that hole, so I figured I would make my own (I don't care about effiency at this point), so that the water would be gone. I've been running AC for 1 week and have NO ISSUE's anymore!!!! I spent many hours and searching for answers and just a little time to do what i mentioned fixed it, I had never taken apart an AC in the past and was hesistant, but it was simple and worked.
I've been drilling holes in the bottom for the last ten years. Something in the universe is wrong. We shouldn't have to do that. The drain holes should be larger and there could also be an easier way to get to the clogged drain shaft. When it rains hard the issue intensifies. It spits water from the front and must be dried out before using again.
*Totally impressive **Fastly.Cool** in my room. Wish I designed this myself. We can’t believe how quiet it is. It’s not as heavy as our last AC unit but it works more evenly and efficiently. Extremely happy with this purchase.*
A trick that works. Unplug the AC unint . Take a 7"×2" stripe of t-shirt material and a wire twist-tie or a small piece of wire go outside and stick 2 to 3 inches of the material through one of the lowest vents on the bottom side as close to the back end of the unit as possible, just enough that the t-shirt material is soaking up some water, leave the remaining material hanging down toward the ground. Wire this material to a vent so it won't fall out. This will kinda create a siphon so the water will run out there instead of spitting into the house and your AC unit will still have enough water in the bottom of the pan to run correctly. You're done. Turn the AC unit on. Fixed in less than five minutes You may also need to add one to the other side of the AC unit depending on how much water is going into your house. This really does work give it a try.
Pulled the plug on mine and it works so much better. The "sling ring" nonsense may work where it isn't extremely humid, but not here in Central Texas. Drain holes have worked just fine for years and that's why your central HVAC unit has condensate lines and they have to stay clear.
They're pretty easy to take apart. I take ours apart once at the beginning of the season, take a leaf blower to it get all the crap out then use a spray bottle with dish soap & little bleach. just cover the controls with a plastic bag so they don't get wet. rinse it off. It helps with the smell on first start up and kills any mold/mildew.
I have the same a/c. You need to tilt the unit more than what you have and it forces the water to go through drain hole. Keep the rubber plug out. Don't put the plug back in. This fixed my problem. Like I said I have the same exact unit and I love it. Good Luck. I hope I helped you.
Loved your video! Frustrating problem, have the same AC & heart issues, but you did put it in the right perspective. Doctor bills cost a lot more than window AC's, not to mention time consuming and even more frustrating! Thanks and have a stress-free day!
I have a GE AC just like yours, and it will eventually start growing slime on the casing around the vents. It will start to smell like fishy stagnated water. All that water splashing from the fan drained into my wall through the window sill, and under the house. The water caused my floor and carpet to rot, and mildew. I finally had to carefully drill a hole under the casing without hitting any components. A bunch of old nasty water drained out. It seems to be working as good as ever after the hole modification. You have to be really really careful when drilling the hole. Also if the hole causes too much of a problem I could plug it back up with something but I think drilling a hole in the bottom back may be the solution.
Have the same nasty slime from mine I have a Frigidaire window AC. Drilled three drain holes in the back side. Was disgusting. The water was overflowing and leaking inside. But I still have the problem of water build up on the vents. Trying to fix this now.
@@LoveGummy you can make a wick from a good paper towel, fold it long ways about 5 times, and put it through the vent into the water. That seems to have helped mine.
When I first installed one of my window units it dripped water on my floor. What i did was tilt it back more and unscrew two screws of the frame on the back so it could drain properly. If I were you i would just leave the plug out. If they told you to leave it in then i don't think they know what they are talking about. It's suppose to drain, all air conditioners have to drain.
They don’t drain them anymore. They want a pool of water on the outside. The fan blade has small scoops on it that go into the water and splash it on the external coils to cool them.
It sounds like the pan underneath the inside coil might be slightly clogged and water is not able to escape. Usually they have a little indentation molded into the bottom of the unit for the water to escape down, kind of like a little drain Channel. If even the slightest amount of dust or dirt gets in that thing it'll piss all over your house. The only way I've ever seen to get those to work right again is to either get a really thin wire and stick it up that channel from the outside and remit out a little, or you could try spraying at the bottom of that divider between the inside and the outside down at its base to try and dislodge the crud. But once you get that thing poked open, tons of water will come from the inside or the outside. I haven't found a single window unit that wasn't a pain in the rear when it came to this situation. I don't like taking a garden hose to anything that's sitting in my window because the water could make it inside theoretically, but if you must you must. The other thing you could check is to make sure that it's leaning down slightly toward the outside so the water can move my gravity. I hope that helped and I hope you got your problem fixed. I know there's probably plenty of others here who is offered the same solution and short of taking it apart and cleaning it I can't think of any other way. I feel your pain I've been there many many many times.
I have a 25,000 btu window AC unit. It's 131 lbs. Me and my brother take it out the window about every 3 years to clean it well. It's an old unit but still cools well. But this year I've developed what sounds like ice pellets hitting around about where the fan is. Some water also comes out the front. It's never done this before. I've drilled a couple holes outside near the rear and more water is coming out but it still has this ice problem. Other than it being a noise problem it still cools very well. I've decided to grin and bear it the rest of this summer and get a new unit next year. Hard for me to buy another one when this one cools so well.
Clearly I’m not the only person experiencing unwanted issues with my window ac unit. STRESSED is exactly how my experience has gone !! No one I know seems to know how to resolve my ac issues. In desperation I’ve taken too searching for videos on YT. Hoping I’ll find solutions. I’m frustrated beyond belief. If I wasn’t 60 and if I didn’t have copd breathing problems especially in summertime humidity. I would skip using an ac all together ! Something that’s supposed to be so simple in installation, usage and maintenance has been an utter nightmare.
As far as the water issue I had with the unit, all I did was pull out the plug. It seem to work fine after that. I no longer have the air conditioner now but it did work fine after I pulled out the drain plug. I hope this is somewhat help to you good luck
I have had the same issue and your GE looks like mine model AHC08LY. I got the AC in 2020, then in 2021 it started spitting bad, i had puddles on my floor. The unit per GE should be installed level, but I even tried to tilt it away and found tilting it away made it even worse. Pulling the drain plug made no difference. I'm in the same boat as you and I'm still searching for an answer.
I had similar issue. Ice was building up on the coils.I could see it with the flashlight! I had to turn it off. Let all the ice melt-then tilt and drain all the water. Gave it time to dry out. Like REALLY DRY OUT! Seems good now.
Hey Mike it's completely safe to run it with the plug out. It will actually run alot colder and you won't have anymore spitting issues. These slinger fan designs are a fail all around. I honestly don't think it adds any efficiency what so ever but it does indeed introduce a boat load of issues.
I took my plug out and nothing ever drained out of it. You have to find a good spot towards the back underneath the unit. Make sure your not going to drill through any components, and drill a hole in the center backside underneath the case. Please be careful when drilling the hole. You can easily damage the unit if you hit anything inside the case.
@@wilfredosantos2947 yeah ive been running mine with the plug out for two seasons no gunk inside and it runs as cold or colder than the thermostat reads. definitely no performance loss. These ac with dual inverting are still highly energy efficient without a slinger to cool radiator/compressor anyway. if you understand how acs work then you know it doesn't need a slinger fan, anyone who says its required is just uneducated. slingers are for higher efficiency they are not required to operate mechanically optimal.
I'm now subscribed lol Also I figured out mine. Took off plug, but that's not the issue, in the middle there's grime build-up. So I made a hole under on opposite side and water was able to get out. Now I'll clean it through there often and no more water will be going towards fan and shooting inside home.
This is the perfect size for cooling our roof top tent. Even on high it is not so loud that we can’t sleep. Actually, My kids like the white noise when we’re camping.It’s also small enough to pack in a home depot 27 gal bin
Mike, take care of your health. I have the same unit. No issues, watching your video I feel lucky. I am waiting on my A/C guy to fix my central unit. He is like us, heart issues. So, I have to be very patience.
with the drain plug OUT, does it still spit water? if yes, then there is a clog inside somewhere, in the area at the bottom on either side, where water runs from front to back. maybe some bugs crawled in, or some leaves or dust got sucked into the system. unless you want to send in for the warranty, you need to remove and unscrew it, and clean the path(s) from front to back. if it STOPS spitting water with the plug out, just leave the plug out. humidity levels vary from place to place and different times of year. in higher humidity, the water builds up too fast to drain normally, so that plug is for those situations. normally, it's GOOD to let the water pool at the bottom, as the fan inside blows it onto the coils, which helps cool them down. but if the water builds up too quickly, it will have no place to go but INSIDE. so just leave the plug out til it gets less humid. just don't lose it!
Not an expert but agree with leaving the plug out AND closing vent to outside air (recirculating the air you're cooling in the house). Unit might be too small for the area you're trying to cool. Just having it on 76-78F and using fans as long as it's cooling and dehumidifying the air during the day is better than nothing. That extra water you get after you seem to have drained it could be from what is leftover in the unit, which can freeze even with clean filter.
This is something I do also. I'll have my AC on 77-78F and I have a small box fan that I also have blowing in the room. Also helps to wear short pants and t-shirt. Keeps you comfortable and the compressor in the unit does not run a lot.
I just had an issue with mine and it’s exactly the same as yours. You have to put it at a angle in the windows so that it can train the access water out.
If your window AC is spitting out water, you're probably leaving it on cool for too long, as in a few days straight. Let the fan run for about 30 minutes or an hour in the morning when it's not as hot and then check to see if the water is still leaking from the vent.
Shove a length of gauze strip about 6 inches wide and 6 inches long on the very bottom end of the back of the unit and let it hang down and wick the standing water out of the drain pan bottom to the ground. You can shove the end of the gauze strip down in there with a butter knife.
I have a similar unit. From day one it spit water but I found out it’s because of the rapid temp change. It is installed in a she shed and only is used when my wife is in it. Lately it’s around 85 degrees inside when it’s turned on. After 10 minutes it forms water you can see. We dry it and it seems to do it less and less the cooler the shed gets.
First of all there are two fans in the AC. One cools the outside coils and dissipates heat OUTSIDE the unit. The other Blows the cold air inside the house. The outside fan has what is called a "sling ring" around the edge of the fan/squirrel cage that grabs water and throws it / blows it onto the outside coil/fins and helps it dissipate heat. The pan below catches all the condensation the AC makes and it is picked up by the sling ring... The pan(s) need to drain but they also need to stay full enough so the sling ring has water to work with... I have the same problem (water inside the cold air area not draining and splashing around making annoying noise...) My bet is that the drain hole / drain channel between the inside of the pan and the outside of the pan is clogged... ((WATER GROWS ALGEA)) I'm going to pull the AC, take it apart and hose everything out... I suggest you do the same....
How do you suggest doing this for people who have water from a well that causes rust from the minerals and salt? It is very difficult to remove the heavy air conditioner every time this may be needed.
@@michaelzoran I hear you but you HAVE to take these window units out periodically and get to the inside to clean them. I have a large 25,000 btu unit that is very heavy. Me and my brother usually take it out the window every 2 to 3 years. It's unbelievable how dirty it gets in there. Worse is the inside part of that outer coil. If it gets clogged your AC will not cool. I know it's a pain. I'm 63 and know I won't be able to do this too many more years. But it has to be done. I guess central air is the other solution but I've heard horror stories of electric bills close to $400 but I may have to eventually go that route. There are companies that will come get your AC unit and clean it out for you. Of course, they'll never do as good a job as you will.
@@richiec.7637 We always take the air conditioner out of the window at the end of each year. It is always cleaned at the end of the year so that way it is fresh for the start of the next season. It is frustrating when it has to be taken out multiple times during the year in order to clean it.
it’s sucking in hot/warm air while blowing out cold air, therefore creating condensation. doors and windows have to be closed. then it should do it less if not at all. you can also go for a dehumidifier if that helps.
Although this video was done a couple years ago and I no longer have the air conditioner, but what I did was pulled out the plug and it was fine after that
It could be alot of rain. If you live in a very humid area use the wick idea. Use a paper towel, used dryer sheet or wick. My Midea was not even a year old and it was doing the same thing. You can use any kinds a clip you have. Paper clip to secure it. In case of a storm. This way you won't void warranty. Lets face it, its been hot & humid. Mine is in a second story window. It works.
So did you ever figure this out ? I am having the exact same issue . Brand new roof down draft cooler installed by a professional , Spitting water out . Don’t know why ???
@@elizabethdean1662 In another comment, 1BubbaMike1 said he got it working well by removing the plug from his air conditioner. I had service people say that even if your model doesn't include a removable plug, you can still drill a small hole towards the back of the unit in order to let the water drain better.
My ac unit is brand new. Just put it in yesterday. It does drip outside. Maybe, I need to put a dehumidifier in the attic also. At least until I get the main floor a.c. window unit in. That will help keep the attic cooler. Or remove the screws holding the ac to the window, bring the ac back in, remove the plug, ... This would have been good to know last year with the new ac. I wondered why my carpet was wet. I just removed the unit. Maybe I could have just used a dehumidifier, and the air purifier for a fan. That's all I have used thus far this season. Screens on the window, and a tower air filter in my living room. Where is where I spend the majority of my time. I didn't have to do that with the 2 old 12- 17 yr old ac units that have out the last 2 years. It's a new ball game. 🤷♀️ If I may say so without stepping on toes, yours looks more flat at that distance in this video. Mine has probably got almost 1 1/2 - 2 slant. I couldn't really measure mine, because at the time I was putting it in, I had wasp flying around. I couldn't remember if the booklet stated 1/2" to 1" or 1" - 1/2, ... of a slant. I'm just working with an old house and the window sill on the outside slants down already. There's no front sill left either. Just the center and back third. And since it's in the attic, at 65, bad ones, keck, hips, and back; I am not getting on any ladders (with my trifocals), is all I got to say about it. Good luck hope you, we all, get it figured out. I do prefer a slower drip, than fast, so it doesn't create a well in the dirt, and seep into the basement. 🙄😒
From what I know, the newer units do this in terms of efficiency. They "throw around" the condensate on the outside part of the unit. The outdoor fan will blow the water against the coils, helping cool them and dissipating the heat more quickly. But, I have not heard of a unit throwing water inside.
Mine new cooler is also doing the same thing . I have a roof mount which I’ve had for 50 years , just got a New cooler and it spits a lot of water ‘!!! I’m afraid it’s going to damage my wall and floor if it keeps up
I have a similar problem but instead it spits the water all over the outside of my house and is rotting the wood it’s crazy!! Hope all is better by now for u my friend..
I was having this problem and ive figured it out. Take the plug out with the a.c. off for a day. Dont run it for a whole day then you can putthe plug back in and run it 😁
I have the same unit guys I figured out that if you block the 2 out of three vents around the metal case in the back it slow the unit down from making to much water in the pan
I'd just keep the plug off to keep the water from accumulating which maybe why it's spitting out the front. It won't hurt a thing to have it draining water all the time.
there is a pan in the front of the unit. That has a small weeping whole to the back and then to outside. it must be clogged. you must take the face off to clean it
I also have the same problem and removed the black plug. Still condenses alot and spits water inside. Unit is only one year old. Since it is very hot and humid now in NJ, I will just wait and see and make any adjustments when it gets down to the 80s. Filter is clean also. The only fix I saw involved spiking holes in bottom of styrofoam. I will hold off on that until I really have to. Great video and hope it works out.
I live in apartments and we all have window units and I noticed they all have a constant leak. So maybe their supposed to leak and the unit it supposed to tilt. I’m searching RUclips because it’s been a week and my landlord has yet to fix my window unit it’s spitting out water in the apartment and had stopped blowing cold air geez
I have the same model. Set your temperature to 72F. I took the plug off from the bottom it doesn’t have to be on. However the ac will make water noises. That’s normal
It's condensation from the coil . It driping into ware the brower fan is . You have to take it an part and make an small hole for the water to drain into the fan area to the tray
But why hasn't mine been doing this all along. I've had this window unit about 10 years. It's just now starting to do what you said and I kinda thought it might be condensation from the coils on the inside somehow getting to the fan.
But why hasn't mine been doing this all along. I've had this window unit about 10 years. It's just now starting to do what you said and I kinda thought it might be condensation from the coils on the inside somehow getting to the fan.
Mine sounds like running water and spits little rain drops out extremely loud and annoying but its been so damn hot I’ve had it running non stop its so high up i can’t just go outside to check…
Mike I would leave the plug out. If you don't want to you need to go and get AC without a plug preferably a bigger unit at that point when it starts doing something funky a bigger unit without a plug like that has a hole that runs from the coils that are inside the house to the back of the unit where the pan is and that will be filled so I got to do is pop the back off and stick a metal coat hanger in there make sure it's clean and your you're fine
@@1BubbaMike1 Mike, I'm curious, do you have a lot of mosquitoes in your area? The last couple years, mosquitoes have gone inside our air conditioner. The air conditioner would literally chop up thousands of these dumb mosquitoes as they go inside the unit. The problem with this is that it causes the problem of having the air conditioner get clogged up with the bodies of the mosquitoes. We would use a combination of water and bleach to clean out the air conditioner when this happened and it helped. We were never able to find a particularly good repellant for the mosquitoes, though.
I'm having the exact same problem but my unit is a lot older. Probably 10 years. It's cooling well but this year it started making rattling sounds like maybe small ice droplets are being blown where the fan blows air into the room. I also see water around the louvers where the air blows out. I thought maybe water wasn't being drain properly so I went out and drilled some holes under and near the rear of the AC. So it's draining a lot more water but I'm still having this noisy ice pellet thing going on. I'm sure the noise is ice because the unit cycles on and off during the night when it's cooler and when I wake up I'm not hearing all this noise. I can also see water coming out the louvers. The filter wasn't really dirty but I took it out and cleaned it. I have also started running the unit fan on high thinking that would keep the coils from freezing. No matter what I still have the same problem so I'm perplexed also. Again, it cools the whole upstairs very well and it just started doing this about a week ago. I have a device that measures humidity and it's around 46% so that's ok. I don't know what it is. For the life of me I can't figure out why they'd put a plug to NOT let the water drain out. I just don't get that.
The doctors never do have your kind of problems and they always tell you don't stress your blood pressure is too high make sure you take your medications. LoL WTF Now my AC unit is spitting water Dude.
@@1BubbaMike1 hey you know what mine was doing that after we just had some hardcore rain again here in the Tampa Bay area and I just think the wall unit filled up with water and that's the reason why it was doing that because I don't have a board covering the top of it I see a lot of people have boards over the top of theirs about 8 inches above it and I think that's to block the rain from getting in there and flooding it and making it spit water in. So humidity rain also sprinklers mine actually had to drain plug out of it and it was still doing that but we had so much rain the streets were flooded and where I'm at we're not below sea level.
@@1BubbaMike1 also this is the first and only time I've seen it spit water so it's probably just raining too hard cuz like I said there's stuff blown down from trees and stuff and I just got this unit right before summertime and we haven't had a storm this bad here at least.
i had a unit like that and it worked great for 3yrs except that water would drain and spatter on the outside of the house---like on the brick, and it looks like hell. then it started not cooling and the electricity bill went over 100 bucks more than it should have. so i stopped running it and got a new one---same manufacturer but slighlty different. it does not spatter water on the side of the house. but it makes a lot of noise and can see the fan blade running thru sitting water in the bottom of the tray. very annoying rattling sound. and there is no drain plug, nothing to drain any water.
The same thing is happening with mine. I use the A/C to dehumidify our condo, otherwise the smoke alarm goes off. This morning it was spitting water and now all my windows have condensation and the smoke alarm has gone off twice today, which my neighbors are pissed about. I’d leave the outside door open, but the outdoor humidity is 90% and indoor is 75%, so I’m not escaping this stupid thing anytime soon
That's interesting about the smoke alarm! My darn AC unit is peeing on the floor, is setting off the alarm, too, and I have had to literally grab a diaper and put it under the damn thing until I can clear the water tray and troubleshoot the possible drain hole outside tomorrow! I feel I am breathing water now the air is so watery sweet and humid! It's laughable, yet scary because the water is dripping from the electric cord of the unit! I did a "u-bend" to the wire and shoved a (finally) empty gallon water container under it until the sun comes up tomorrow and I can figure this out. Damn these things!
Perhaps whoever typed the "plug" info was wrong. After an air conditioner sucks out the heat and moisture from the house the water has to come out. Pull the plug.
For you and everyone else. Your issue is rain. How do I know? Because I had the same issue as everyone on this thread and others. I’m an engineer, and I kept asking why would they put a drain plug in and the. Tell you to keep it there. And the. You have a bung of people with the same issue. I used my unit for three months last year…no problem. Then this year spitting water. I covered the top vents and as I type this we are having a major rain storm. And sure enough gutter is plugged spilling water over the top of my unit. But because I covered it no water in the unit. The answer for everyone is rain. Not bad units.
This is happening to me and im on the second floor of a apartment so i had to get on a ladder very high up. Mine is spitting water out sides and front of vents comming up to front all in my house. Already a couple ppl can't fix it and i still don't know what's wrong.
Yes, another baldheaded gripe video. We are looking for something to help us remedy our dilemma. If you had given the name of the AC unit we would have known not to purchase that brand ever.
This is one of my older videos I don’t even have the AC unit anymore, if you are having the same problems, I had pull out the plug that’s all I did. Problem solved.! And I was not griping. I was looking for some help myself. I wish you the best of luck if you’re having the same troubles I did back. A few years ago.
Pull the rubber plug out and drill another hole and it will work great that's what I done Where that rubber plug is a lot of time that's where you put a drain hose on it anyway
Once I remove the plug, everything was fine but to be truthful I got my central air fixed and I gave the air conditioner away to somebody that needed it I wish you luck with yours. Just pull the plug out and I’ll be fine.
My AC didn't come with a plug. Theres bo water dripping from it outside but it spitting it out from where the cold air blows. I just chalk it up to shitty AC manufacturing These days
Pull the dam plug for a day or 2 and see what happens I'm having the same problem I'm not stressed and I'm letting run all night it sounds like there's someone inside working on something tomorrow I'm pulling the plug.
Mine 14yrs old. No Drain Hole. "suppose to help it run better by splashing the water onto the fins"... yeah, Fuck that.. A Month after I got it I had it spraying water in like you. I Drilled my own Drain Hole. No More Splashing!. So Remove that Fucking Plug!.. Only This year am I experiencing Freezing. Filter is Clean so can't be that. But I do live in the Panhandle of Florida so the Humidity is a Bitch...
SAME AIR CONDITIONER SAME PROBLEM DO NOT BUY GE PRODUCTS SPECIALLY AIR CONDITIONERS MINE WORKS FINE FOR ONE MONTH AND THEN STARTED SPITTING WATER ALL OVER

i came for ac solutions but im now staying for bubba mike
I swear I was thinking the same thing
Me too!
I'm with you guys!
Me too soo fascinating
I have one ac is great and one spits
I was able to fix my AC (same GE you have). In year 2 and now year 3 it would spit water like crazy after a few hours, just like this video shows, i had the drain plug pulled, i tried tilting the unit even more to the outside, even though it's suppose to be level and nothing would work. So, I took the AC out of the window, took off the front cover and also the entire unit cover. On the front left side there is a little tunnel for water to drain to the back, I cleaned that out and there was some debri and must have been enought to cause my issue, there was some dirt and dead beattle dry rotted body. I was suprised since I don't have tree leaves or anything I would have thought could have clogged it up. The other thing I did was also drill a hole in the bottom back where that drain tunnel is. The reason I did this was because the built in drain plug, I could not see how the water from the front could easily get to that hole, so I figured I would make my own (I don't care about effiency at this point), so that the water would be gone. I've been running AC for 1 week and have NO ISSUE's anymore!!!! I spent many hours and searching for answers and just a little time to do what i mentioned fixed it, I had never taken apart an AC in the past and was hesistant, but it was simple and worked.
Trying this technique. One question, where is the drain plug I can't seem to find it ?
@@durrellc6133 infer on left side it should be a little black grommet
I've been drilling holes in the bottom for the last ten years. Something in the universe is wrong. We shouldn't have to do that. The drain holes should be larger and there could also be an easier way to get to the clogged drain shaft. When it rains hard the issue intensifies. It spits water from the front and must be dried out before using again.
*Totally impressive **Fastly.Cool** in my room. Wish I designed this myself. We can’t believe how quiet it is. It’s not as heavy as our last AC unit but it works more evenly and efficiently. Extremely happy with this purchase.*
A trick that works.
Unplug the AC unint .
Take a 7"×2" stripe of t-shirt material and a wire twist-tie or a small piece of wire go outside and stick 2 to 3 inches of the material through one of the lowest vents on the bottom side as close to the back end of the unit as possible, just enough that the t-shirt material is soaking up some water, leave the remaining material hanging down toward the ground. Wire this material to a vent so it won't fall out. This will kinda create a siphon so the water will run out there instead of spitting into the house and your AC unit will still have enough water in the bottom of the pan to run correctly. You're done. Turn the AC unit on. Fixed in less than five minutes
You may also need to add one to the other side of the AC unit depending on how much water is going into your house.
This really does work give it a try.

I could watch this man talk all day. Very entertaining lol
Pulled the plug on mine and it works so much better. The "sling ring" nonsense may work where it isn't extremely humid, but not here in Central Texas. Drain holes have worked just fine for years and that's why your central HVAC unit has condensate lines and they have to stay clear.
They're pretty easy to take apart. I take ours apart once at the beginning of the season, take a leaf blower to it get all the crap out then use a spray bottle with dish soap & little bleach. just cover the controls with a plastic bag so they don't get wet. rinse it off. It helps with the smell on first start up and kills any mold/mildew.
I have the same a/c. You need to tilt the unit more than what you have and it forces the water to go through drain hole. Keep the rubber plug out. Don't put the plug back in. This fixed my problem. Like I said I have the same exact unit and I love it. Good Luck. I hope I helped you.
Loved your video! Frustrating problem, have the same AC & heart issues, but you did put it in the right perspective. Doctor bills cost a lot more than window AC's, not to mention time consuming and even more frustrating! Thanks and have a stress-free day!
I have a GE AC just like yours, and it will eventually start growing slime on the casing around the vents. It will start to smell like fishy stagnated water. All that water splashing from the fan drained into my wall through the window sill, and under the house. The water caused my floor and carpet to rot, and mildew. I finally had to carefully drill a hole under the casing without hitting any components. A bunch of old nasty water drained out. It seems to be working as good as ever after the hole modification. You have to be really really careful when drilling the hole. Also if the hole causes too much of a problem I could plug it back up with something but I think drilling a hole in the bottom back may be the solution.
Have the same nasty slime from mine I have a Frigidaire window AC. Drilled three drain holes in the back side. Was disgusting. The water was overflowing and leaking inside. But I still have the problem of water build up on the vents. Trying to fix this now.
@@LoveGummy you can make a wick from a good paper towel, fold it long ways about 5 times, and put it through the vent into the water. That seems to have helped mine.
When I first installed one of my window units it dripped water on my floor. What i did was tilt it back more and unscrew two screws of the frame on the back so it could drain properly. If I were you i would just leave the plug out. If they told you to leave it in then i don't think they know what they are talking about. It's suppose to drain, all air conditioners have to drain.
They don’t drain them anymore. They want a pool of water on the outside. The fan blade has small scoops on it that go into the water and splash it on the external coils to cool them.
It sounds like the pan underneath the inside coil might be slightly clogged and water is not able to escape. Usually they have a little indentation molded into the bottom of the unit for the water to escape down, kind of like a little drain Channel. If even the slightest amount of dust or dirt gets in that thing it'll piss all over your house. The only way I've ever seen to get those to work right again is to either get a really thin wire and stick it up that channel from the outside and remit out a little, or you could try spraying at the bottom of that divider between the inside and the outside down at its base to try and dislodge the crud. But once you get that thing poked open, tons of water will come from the inside or the outside. I haven't found a single window unit that wasn't a pain in the rear when it came to this situation. I don't like taking a garden hose to anything that's sitting in my window because the water could make it inside theoretically, but if you must you must. The other thing you could check is to make sure that it's leaning down slightly toward the outside so the water can move my gravity. I hope that helped and I hope you got your problem fixed. I know there's probably plenty of others here who is offered the same solution and short of taking it apart and cleaning it I can't think of any other way. I feel your pain I've been there many many many times.
I have a 25,000 btu window AC unit. It's 131 lbs. Me and my brother take it out the window about every 3 years to clean it well. It's an old unit but still cools well. But this year I've developed what sounds like ice pellets hitting around about where the fan is. Some water also comes out the front. It's never done this before. I've drilled a couple holes outside near the rear and more water is coming out but it still has this ice problem. Other than it being a noise problem it still cools very well. I've decided to grin and bear it the rest of this summer and get a new unit next year. Hard for me to buy another one when this one cools so well.
Clearly I’m not the only person experiencing unwanted issues with my window ac unit.
STRESSED is exactly how my experience has gone !!
No one I know seems to know how to resolve my ac issues.
In desperation I’ve taken too searching for videos on YT. Hoping I’ll find solutions.
I’m frustrated beyond belief.
If I wasn’t 60 and if I didn’t have copd breathing problems especially in summertime humidity.
I would skip using an ac all together !
Something that’s supposed to be so simple in installation, usage and maintenance has been an utter nightmare.
As far as the water issue I had with the unit, all I did was pull out the plug. It seem to work fine after that. I no longer have the air conditioner now but it did work fine after I pulled out the drain plug. I hope this is somewhat help to you good luck
I have had the same issue and your GE looks like mine model AHC08LY. I got the AC in 2020, then in 2021 it started spitting bad, i had puddles on my floor. The unit per GE should be installed level, but I even tried to tilt it away and found tilting it away made it even worse. Pulling the drain plug made no difference. I'm in the same boat as you and I'm still searching for an answer.
I had similar issue. Ice was building up on the coils.I could see it with the flashlight! I had to turn it off. Let all the ice melt-then tilt and drain all the water. Gave it time to dry out. Like REALLY DRY OUT! Seems good now.
Hey Mike it's completely safe to run it with the plug out. It will actually run alot colder and you won't have anymore spitting issues. These slinger fan designs are a fail all around. I honestly don't think it adds any efficiency what so ever but it does indeed introduce a boat load of issues.
Leaving the plug in will also promote black mold growth on the cold side of the AC unit
I took my plug out and nothing ever drained out of it. You have to find a good spot towards the back underneath the unit. Make sure your not going to drill through any components, and drill a hole in the center backside underneath the case. Please be careful when drilling the hole. You can easily damage the unit if you hit anything inside the case.
The water is suppose to circulate on the hot coils.
I have the same AC and i run it with the plug out and runs perfectly
@@wilfredosantos2947 yeah ive been running mine with the plug out for two seasons no gunk inside and it runs as cold or colder than the thermostat reads. definitely no performance loss. These ac with dual inverting are still highly energy efficient without a slinger to cool radiator/compressor anyway. if you understand how acs work then you know it doesn't need a slinger fan, anyone who says its required is just uneducated. slingers are for higher efficiency they are not required to operate mechanically optimal.
I'm now subscribed lol
Also I figured out mine. Took off plug, but that's not the issue, in the middle there's grime build-up. So I made a hole under on opposite side and water was able to get out. Now I'll clean it through there often and no more water will be going towards fan and shooting inside home.
This is the perfect size for cooling our roof top tent. Even on high it is not so loud that we can’t sleep. Actually, My kids like the white noise when we’re camping.It’s also small enough to pack in a home depot 27 gal bin
Been running my air conditioners with the plug out for 30 years😊
Just fixed my removing that plug,excellent video
Mike, take care of your health. I have the same unit. No issues, watching your video I feel lucky. I am waiting on my A/C guy to fix my central unit. He is like us, heart issues. So, I have to be very patience.
Thank you Mark I hope you get your AC unit fix soon,
with the drain plug OUT, does it still spit water?
if yes, then there is a clog inside somewhere, in the area at the bottom on either side, where water runs from front to back. maybe some bugs crawled in, or some leaves or dust got sucked into the system.
unless you want to send in for the warranty, you need to remove and unscrew it, and clean the path(s) from front to back.
if it STOPS spitting water with the plug out, just leave the plug out.
humidity levels vary from place to place and different times of year. in higher humidity, the water builds up too fast to drain normally, so that plug is for those situations.
normally, it's GOOD to let the water pool at the bottom, as the fan inside blows it onto the coils, which helps cool them down. but if the water builds up too quickly, it will have no place to go but INSIDE. so just leave the plug out til it gets less humid. just don't lose it!
Not an expert but agree with leaving the plug out AND closing vent to outside air (recirculating the air you're cooling in the house). Unit might be too small for the area you're trying to cool. Just having it on 76-78F and using fans as long as it's cooling and dehumidifying the air during the day is better than nothing. That extra water you get after you seem to have drained it could be from what is leftover in the unit, which can freeze even with clean filter.
we finally let the plug off and it seems to be working now so that might have been the problem
This is something I do also. I'll have my AC on 77-78F and I have a small box fan that I also have blowing in the room. Also helps to wear short pants and t-shirt. Keeps you comfortable and the compressor in the unit does not run a lot.
I just had an issue with mine and it’s exactly the same as yours. You have to put it at a angle in the windows so that it can train the access water out.
If your window AC is spitting out water, you're probably leaving it on cool for too long, as in a few days straight. Let the fan run for about 30 minutes or an hour in the morning when it's not as hot and then check to see if the water is still leaking from the vent.
Im in a high humidity area and my 2nd floor just started doing this.
Whats the humidity now by you?
Shove a length of gauze strip about 6 inches wide and 6 inches long on the very bottom end of the back of the unit and let it hang down and wick the standing water out of the drain pan bottom to the ground. You can shove the end of the gauze strip down in there with a butter knife.
About to do this on my window ac … thanks!
I have a similar unit. From day one it spit water but I found out it’s because of the rapid temp change. It is installed in a she shed and only is used when my wife is in it. Lately it’s around 85 degrees inside when it’s turned on. After 10 minutes it forms water you can see.
We dry it and it seems to do it less and less the cooler the shed gets.
Good to know.
First of all there are two fans in the AC. One cools the outside coils and dissipates heat OUTSIDE the unit. The other Blows the cold air inside the house. The outside fan has what is called a "sling ring" around the edge of the fan/squirrel cage that grabs water and throws it / blows it onto the outside coil/fins and helps it dissipate heat. The pan below catches all the condensation the AC makes and it is picked up by the sling ring... The pan(s) need to drain but they also need to stay full enough so the sling ring has water to work with... I have the same problem (water inside the cold air area not draining and splashing around making annoying noise...) My bet is that the drain hole / drain channel between the inside of the pan and the outside of the pan is clogged... ((WATER GROWS ALGEA)) I'm going to pull the AC, take it apart and hose everything out... I suggest you do the same....
How do you suggest doing this for people who have water from a well that causes rust from the minerals and salt? It is very difficult to remove the heavy air conditioner every time this may be needed.
@@michaelzoran I hear you but you HAVE to take these window units out periodically and get to the inside to clean them. I have a large 25,000 btu unit that is very heavy. Me and my brother usually take it out the window every 2 to 3 years. It's unbelievable how dirty it gets in there. Worse is the inside part of that outer coil. If it gets clogged your AC will not cool. I know it's a pain. I'm 63 and know I won't be able to do this too many more years. But it has to be done. I guess central air is the other solution but I've heard horror stories of electric bills close to $400 but I may have to eventually go that route. There are companies that will come get your AC unit and clean it out for you. Of course, they'll never do as good a job as you will.
@@richiec.7637 We always take the air conditioner out of the window at the end of each year. It is always cleaned at the end of the year so that way it is fresh for the start of the next season. It is frustrating when it has to be taken out multiple times during the year in order to clean it.
it’s sucking in hot/warm air while blowing out cold air, therefore creating condensation. doors and windows have to be closed. then it should do it less if not at all. you can also go for a dehumidifier if that helps.
Mine is doing the same thing!! I watch the video where they tucked gauze on the bottom of the air conditioner and it works GREAT!!
Although this video was done a couple years ago and I no longer have the air conditioner, but what I did was pulled out the plug and it was fine after that
Ok, my plug is out, it's been tilted, filter cleaned, and still no resolution.
It could be alot of rain. If you live in a very humid area use the wick idea. Use a paper towel, used dryer sheet or wick. My Midea was not even a year old and it was doing the same thing. You can use any kinds a clip you have. Paper clip to secure it. In case of a storm. This way you won't void warranty. Lets face it, its been hot & humid. Mine is in a second story window. It works.
So did you ever figure this out ? I am having the exact same issue . Brand new roof down draft cooler installed by a professional , Spitting water out . Don’t know why ???
Tilt it 1 1/2 inches on the outside for it to drain properly...so it will hopefully not get water inside doing that again...
Also wonder if having it on a lower fan speed might help.
we did that too and it was spitting out water but it's working now
@@1BubbaMike1 how did you get it to work?
@@elizabethdean1662 In another comment, 1BubbaMike1 said he got it working well by removing the plug from his air conditioner. I had service people say that even if your model doesn't include a removable plug, you can still drill a small hole towards the back of the unit in order to let the water drain better.
@@michaelzoran ok thank you!
@@michaelzoran ty
🥊🥊🥊👍👍👍Good stuff. The comedy is great.
Same deal but my drain hole was full of this pink snot. I cleared the hole and it drained a little but how do I get all the slime out?
My ac unit is brand new. Just put it in yesterday. It does drip outside. Maybe, I need to put a dehumidifier in the attic also. At least until I get the main floor a.c. window unit in. That will help keep the attic cooler.
Or remove the screws holding the ac to the window, bring the ac back in, remove the plug, ...
This would have been good to know last year with the new ac. I wondered why my carpet was wet. I just removed the unit.
Maybe I could have just used a dehumidifier, and the air purifier for a fan. That's all I have used thus far this season. Screens on the window, and a tower air filter in my living room. Where is where I spend the majority of my time.
I didn't have to do that with the 2 old 12- 17 yr old ac units that have out the last 2 years. It's a new ball game. 🤷♀️
If I may say so without stepping on toes, yours looks more flat at that distance in this video.
Mine has probably got almost 1 1/2 - 2 slant. I couldn't really measure mine, because at the time I was putting it in, I had wasp flying around.
I couldn't remember if the booklet stated 1/2" to 1" or 1" - 1/2, ... of a slant.
I'm just working with an old house and the window sill on the outside slants down already. There's no front sill left either. Just the center and back third.
And since it's in the attic, at 65, bad ones, keck, hips, and back; I am not getting on any ladders (with my trifocals), is all I got to say about it.
Good luck hope you, we all, get it figured out. I do prefer a slower drip, than fast, so it doesn't create a well in the dirt, and seep into the basement. 🙄😒
From what I know, the newer units do this in terms of efficiency. They "throw around" the condensate on the outside part of the unit. The outdoor fan will blow the water against the coils, helping cool them and dissipating the heat more quickly.
But, I have not heard of a unit throwing water inside.
Mine new cooler is also doing the same thing . I have a roof mount which I’ve had for 50 years , just got a New cooler and it spits a lot of water ‘!!! I’m afraid it’s going to damage my wall and floor if it keeps up
I have a similar problem but instead it spits the water all over the outside of my house and is rotting the wood it’s crazy!! Hope all is better by now for u my friend..
I have the exact same unit and it does the same thing.. I’m trying to figure it out now
Pull the plug, works for me
@@spencerpushard6335 do all ac’s have a plug? Cause I have an lg 6,000 btu one
@@xvsn7777 most do. Mine was a little gray rubber plug looks like a button
I literally just bought a brand new air conditioner and plugged it up in this started happening. What do I have to do?
Leave the plug out. Not going to hurt. It will stop the problem. I have done it. The water is normal. Especially in humid parts of the country
I was having this problem and ive figured it out. Take the plug out with the a.c. off for a day. Dont run it for a whole day then you can putthe plug back in and run it 😁
I have the same unit guys I figured out that if you block the 2 out of three vents around the metal case in the back it slow the unit down from making to much water in the pan
I'd just keep the plug off to keep the water from accumulating which maybe why it's spitting out the front. It won't hurt a thing to have it draining water all the time.
Thank you mike, I have same problem same unit, bought brand new not even 2 months , really disappointed, please don’t buy this product
The manual said you can remove the rubber plug.
there is a pan in the front of the unit. That has a small weeping whole to the back and then to outside. it must be clogged. you must take the face off to clean it
I also have the same problem and removed the black plug. Still condenses alot and spits water inside. Unit is only one year old. Since it is very hot and humid now in NJ, I will just wait and see and make any adjustments when it gets down to the 80s. Filter is clean also. The only fix I saw involved spiking holes in bottom of styrofoam. I will hold off on that until I really have to. Great video and hope it works out.
I live in apartments and we all have window units and I noticed they all have a constant leak. So maybe their supposed to leak and the unit it supposed to tilt. I’m searching RUclips because it’s been a week and my landlord has yet to fix my window unit it’s spitting out water in the apartment and had stopped blowing cold air geez
I have the same model. Set your temperature to 72F. I took the plug off from the bottom it doesn’t have to be on. However the ac will make water noises. That’s normal
I just raised mine to 73. 🤞
So if you have it set low 64 that’s too low?
It's condensation from the coil . It driping into ware the brower fan is . You have to take it an part and make an small hole for the water to drain into the fan area to the tray
But why hasn't mine been doing this all along. I've had this window unit about 10 years. It's just now starting to do what you said and I kinda thought it might be condensation from the coils on the inside somehow getting to the fan.

Your supposed leave rubber plug out lol don't leave it in make sure it's tilted a bit back away from window
You running AC full blast, try running it low speed, my AC freezes when in full blast then it barely cools so try running it low
Mines is spitting out helly water and it’s loud and annoying
I was having those helicopter 🚁 seeds getting in mine so I made a custom window screen wrap
I seen someone use a strip gauze in the back drain pan.
Mike I would leave the plug out. If you don't want to you need to go and get AC without a plug preferably a bigger unit at that point when it starts doing something funky a bigger unit without a plug like that has a hole that runs from the coils that are inside the house to the back of the unit where the pan is and that will be filled so I got to do is pop the back off and stick a metal coat hanger in there make sure it's clean and your you're fine
mike leave the plug out and you may have to lean it out the window more
I did and its working out fine now
@@1BubbaMike1 Mike, I'm curious, do you have a lot of mosquitoes in your area? The last couple years, mosquitoes have gone inside our air conditioner. The air conditioner would literally chop up thousands of these dumb mosquitoes as they go inside the unit. The problem with this is that it causes the problem of having the air conditioner get clogged up with the bodies of the mosquitoes. We would use a combination of water and bleach to clean out the air conditioner when this happened and it helped. We were never able to find a particularly good repellant for the mosquitoes, though.
i got stressed just hearing you stressed out. i got water and ice on the coils same unit. 15 mos old but still blows ice cold air thou.
Pull the plug at the bottom of the a/c. Mine created so much water. Runs just fine.
I'm having the exact same problem but my unit is a lot older. Probably 10 years. It's cooling well but this year it started making rattling sounds like maybe small ice droplets are being blown where the fan blows air into the room. I also see water around the louvers where the air blows out. I thought maybe water wasn't being drain properly so I went out and drilled some holes under and near the rear of the AC. So it's draining a lot more water but I'm still having this noisy ice pellet thing going on. I'm sure the noise is ice because the unit cycles on and off during the night when it's cooler and when I wake up I'm not hearing all this noise. I can also see water coming out the louvers. The filter wasn't really dirty but I took it out and cleaned it. I have also started running the unit fan on high thinking that would keep the coils from freezing. No matter what I still have the same problem so I'm perplexed also. Again, it cools the whole upstairs very well and it just started doing this about a week ago. I have a device that measures humidity and it's around 46% so that's ok. I don't know what it is.
For the life of me I can't figure out why they'd put a plug to NOT let the water drain out. I just don't get that.
This specific unit also gets mold
I will admit It worked well for the time I used it
They already come with water or I’ll need to add water to the window ac
I'm seeking the same answer 😩 it's anxiety-provoking.
The doctors never do have your kind of problems and they always tell you don't stress your blood pressure is too high make sure you take your medications. LoL WTF
Now my AC unit is spitting water Dude.
Makes me wonder when it gets really humid is that what makes Some window air units spit the water
@@1BubbaMike1 hey you know what mine was doing that after we just had some hardcore rain again here in the Tampa Bay area and I just think the wall unit filled up with water and that's the reason why it was doing that because I don't have a board covering the top of it I see a lot of people have boards over the top of theirs about 8 inches above it and I think that's to block the rain from getting in there and flooding it and making it spit water in. So humidity rain also sprinklers mine actually had to drain plug out of it and it was still doing that but we had so much rain the streets were flooded and where I'm at we're not below sea level.
@@1BubbaMike1 also this is the first and only time I've seen it spit water so it's probably just raining too hard cuz like I said there's stuff blown down from trees and stuff and I just got this unit right before summertime and we haven't had a storm this bad here at least.
i had a unit like that and it worked great for 3yrs except that water would drain and spatter on the outside of the house---like on the brick, and it looks like hell. then it started not cooling and the electricity bill went over 100 bucks more than it should have. so i stopped running it and got a new one---same manufacturer but slighlty different. it does not spatter water on the side of the house. but it makes a lot of noise and can see the fan blade running thru sitting water in the bottom of the tray. very annoying rattling sound. and there is no drain plug, nothing to drain any water.
The same thing is happening with mine. I use the A/C to dehumidify our condo, otherwise the smoke alarm goes off. This morning it was spitting water and now all my windows have condensation and the smoke alarm has gone off twice today, which my neighbors are pissed about. I’d leave the outside door open, but the outdoor humidity is 90% and indoor is 75%, so I’m not escaping this stupid thing anytime soon
Is it fine now ?
YOU CAN ALSO BUY SILICA GEL BY THE POUND, IT'S USED TO ABSORB MOISTURE THAT WILL HELP TO KEEP THE AIR DRYER
That's interesting about the smoke alarm! My darn AC unit is peeing on the floor, is setting off the alarm, too, and I have had to literally grab a diaper and put it under the damn thing until I can clear the water tray and troubleshoot the possible drain hole outside tomorrow! I feel I am breathing water now the air is so watery sweet and humid! It's laughable, yet scary because the water is dripping from the electric cord of the unit! I did a "u-bend" to the wire and shoved a (finally) empty gallon water container under it until the sun comes up tomorrow and I can figure this out. Damn these things!
Perhaps whoever typed the "plug" info was wrong. After an air conditioner sucks out the heat and moisture from the house the water has to come out. Pull the plug.
I literately have the same unit and it’s doing the same thing.
Mine is leaking on the bottom left. Not to happy with it
Thanks mike I was goin through the same ..took the plug out now we good thanks again
Mine doesn’t have a plug so I guess I need to just drill a hole in it or something or is it possible it’s in another location that I’m just missing 🤔🤔
make sure it leans back
For you and everyone else. Your issue is rain. How do I know? Because I had the same issue as everyone on this thread and others. I’m an engineer, and I kept asking why would they put a drain plug in and the. Tell you to keep it there. And the. You have a bung of people with the same issue. I used my unit for three months last year…no problem. Then this year spitting water. I covered the top vents and as I type this we are having a major rain storm. And sure enough gutter is plugged spilling water over the top of my unit. But because I covered it no water in the unit. The answer for everyone is rain. Not bad units.
It doesn't rain under my car port. Still spitting water. So, that's obviously not the problem for everyone...
You spent $350 for that? A LG Dual Inverter is around $440 and it’s twice as powerful and nearly silent as well. You might wanna upgrade
How many BTU for your home use?
This is happening to me and im on the second floor of a apartment so i had to get on a ladder very high up. Mine is spitting water out sides and front of vents comming up to front all in my house. Already a couple ppl can't fix it and i still don't know what's wrong.
Lmao me too
Yes, another baldheaded gripe video. We are looking for something to help us remedy our dilemma. If you had given the name of the AC unit we would have known not to purchase that brand ever.
This is one of my older videos I don’t even have the AC unit anymore, if you are having the same problems, I had pull out the plug that’s all I did. Problem solved.! And I was not griping. I was looking for some help myself. I wish you the best of luck if you’re having the same troubles I did back. A few years ago.
Only had mine two months and the drain hole is dry. Front full of water 💦
Blowing less air but it is cold air. So I’m going to take it apart today. Watch me see why it’s not draining.
Pull the rubber plug out and drill another hole and it will work great that's what I done Where that rubber plug is a lot of time that's where you put a drain hose on it anyway
Because you keep the unit next to the door and lots of humidity
I got the same ac with the same problem 😂
Once I remove the plug, everything was fine but to be truthful I got my central air fixed and I gave the air conditioner away to somebody that needed it I wish you luck with yours. Just pull the plug out and I’ll be fine.
its suppose to drain take plug out
we did and its fine now
My AC didn't come with a plug. Theres bo water dripping from it outside but it spitting it out from where the cold air blows.
I just chalk it up to shitty AC manufacturing
These days
Drill a hole in the rubber plug. So it won't spit
Its under warranty. Call the manufacturer. !!!!!
Take the dam plug out and that’s it done, problem solved.
Open it and where the fan is there is most likely water
I have same ac. The mother board is defective. You can bypass by splicing and disconnecting. You tube video available
