Water leakage in an air conditioner is usually caused by a problem with the drainage system. This problem can be dealt with from the following aspects:
Procedure: Turn off the power of the air conditioner, remove and clean the filter of the air conditioner. Accumulated dust and dirt can block air flow, causing the evaporation disc to overcool and frost, which can cause water leakage when the frost melts.
Procedure: Check if the drain pipe of the air conditioner is blocked. Use high-pressure gas or special tools to clean the drain to ensure that the water flows smoothly.
Procedure: If there is no problem with the drain, then it is possible that the drain pan is clogged or not in the right place. Check the drain pan for stagnant water or dirt blockages and clean it up.
Procedure: Incorrect installation can also lead to water leakage. Make sure that the air conditioner has a proper angle of inclination, usually slightly in the direction of the drain pipe, to facilitate the discharge of water.
Precautions: Insufficient refrigerant may also cause the evaporator disc to melt after frosting, resulting in water leakage. This situation requires a professional to inspect the refrigeration system and add refrigerant.
Recommendations: If none of the above methods can solve the problem, or you can't check and deal with it yourself, it is recommended to contact a professional air conditioner maintenance service. Professional technicians can accurately diagnose problems and provide solutions.
Cleaning the air conditioner filter and checking the drainage system regularly can effectively prevent water leaks from occurring.
Maintain the air conditioner regularly, including cleaning and inspecting the refrigeration system, to ensure that the air conditioner is operating efficiently and prolonging its lifespan.
When dealing with water leaks in your air conditioner, put safety first and make sure the power supply is disconnected before any operation is performed. If you're not sure what to do, the safest way is to contact a repair professional.
