Water runs out of the air conditioner because the pipe is clogged, possibly for several reasons:

  • Dirt collected in the pipe, preventing water from flowing out. To prevent this, the inside of the air conditioner must be installed with a slight slope from the wall. Proper placement allows you to safely use the device for up to seven years!
  • Insects made a nest in the tube. This is not uncommon, especially in country houses. Do not try to install mesh barriers - a tried and not effective option, it will not stop dripping from the indoor unit of the air conditioner;
  • The tube simply lifted up and water did not flow from it. This happens quite often and disposable by the hands of the owner of the equipment.

Technical problems

The heat transfer of the outdoor unit may be reduced. The radiator may become clogged with dust and debris, water dripping from the indoor unit of the air conditioner.

Checking this is very simple - the wall of the house should be visible through the grill.

If, moreover, the device began to blow out weaker air or the air conditioner itself turns off, the problem is most likely in reducing the heat removal of its internal part. You must call the wizard.

During the installation of the air conditioner, the cold circuit was depressurized. Freon leaked, only the master from the service can fix this.

At the first start-up of the air conditioner, air was poorly pumped out of the cold circuit. Moisture remained in the track, freezing during operation of the apparatus and clogging the capillary tube. Professionals will cope with the problem. The system is treated with nitrogen and then refueled with a new cooler. It is very bad if dirt got into the pipes during the installation of the air conditioner. The inside of the device will be covered with ice and the owner will see water running out of the air conditioner.

Itself disconnects

The reasons that the air conditioner itself turns off can be many. If he gave a sound signal and then immediately turned off and this situation repeats with several attempts to turn it on from a distance - it’s time to call the wizard. The simplest reason may be poor contact on the air conditioning control board. What is the danger of such a breakdown option - by replacing an expensive component. There may be a problem with the compressor, sensors, or the control board itself.
