How can I get my air conditioner to stop leaking water?
I change the filter at least every two weeks. I have several indoor pets and I have removed the hair from the coils.
It's been extremely hot and humid where I live too.Air conditioner leaks water from coils....?The water leaking from your air conditioner is condensation, you will always have some leakage. There should be a tube or pipe to drain this away, they can get clogged with dust and dirt and cause overflow.
This condensation is mostly caused by the A/C unit pulling humidity out of the air. So if it has been really humid, you will have more condensation.
As far as your indoor pets, their dander can cause furballs that clog up the condensation drain.Air conditioner leaks water from coils....?the drain pan and line are clogged thats why it leaks also maybe low on chargeAir conditioner leaks water from coils....?Make sure the air conditioner is tipped, slightly, backward outside. Airconditioners remove water from the room they are cooling and should dump it outside.(if its tipped SLIGHTLY to the outside)Air conditioner leaks water from coils....?same thing happens to me, i dont know how u can stop the leeking but i started to turn off my air conditioning for like 10 min, then turn it back on for like 30 min, then off again for ten min and so on. it doesnt leak anymore.Air conditioner leaks water from coils....?Your air conditioner will always create condensation when it works.
What you need to do it open it up and see what is blocking the drain holes to the outside.
Also, make sure the air conditioner is sitting in such a way that the part of the air conditioner that is outside (if it is a window unit) is lower than the part that is inside so that the water will flow down and out instead of into your house.Air conditioner leaks water from coils....?Copied from the link below:
If warm air is able to enter around the air conditioner it will encounter cooler, dryer air. When they meet condensation will occur. If water leaking from front of air conditioner inspect to see if dripping from body of machine, or water droplets clinging to front area. To test, operate machine for 30 minutes and then use flashlight to check under front edge of base. Small water droplets here indicate an air leakage problem. Add foam insulation to stop warm air from infiltrating.

Good luck!Air conditioner leaks water from coils....?I assume it is a window unit. It should be normal for an air conditioner to produce some water when it operates. (The same thing happens when you have an ice-filled glass of water. The water in the air around it condenses onto the glass.) If you are having trouble directing the water away to the outside, then I would direct you to the owner's manual.Air conditioner leaks water from coils....?If it's a window air conditioner . they are supposed to do that its called condensation that is normal on the front should be a filter lift out and clean every 2 weeks with soap and water clean gently.replace. the hole on the outside of the housingwhen conditioner is tilted should make the water flow out of the back of air cond. if not its clogged .unplug from outlet have someone help with the air cond.remove from window take the 6-8 screws out of the outside of housing I would do this outside spray coils and the inside of cond.try not to get much water on the capacitor or electrical parts clean w/water thourly let dry for anhour or so put housing back on and all the screws get help putting back in the window plug in turn on should work fine good luck ..
