My Air Con Is Driping Water

If you have an air con and it is dripping water, then it may not be the condensation that has caused the problem. The condensation that causes the problem should have come from at least one of the three posts on the front of your unit. This should have been readily apparent when you first put it in the window. If you could not see any condensation there, or it is not dripping, then maybe you have something else that is blocking the air con from working correctly. One thing to try first if the condensation keeps coming up and down is to simply move the air con back a few inches to see if this makes a difference.

If you find that the water condensation is coming from at least one of the three posts on the top of the air con, then you need to remove the top of the air conditioner. Now remove the three screws that are holding the condensation to the top of the air conditioner. Once the three screws are off, detach the air conditioning unit from the mounting brackets underneath the house. You will then need to remove the fish finder that is on the air conditioner.

There is usually some plastic sheeting that is wrapped around the air conditioning unit, but this should come off once you remove the fish finder. Now you can remove the plastic wrap or other wrapping that is shielding the condensation and locate the cause of the condensation. If it is air leaks, then the leak must be located where air vents meet the ceiling. This is usually a metal duct or ceiling joist. A lot of people have had success just pulling up the ceiling joists without having to remove the entire ceiling to fix the problem. If this does not work, you may need to have the entire ceiling removed and replaced with drywall so that the condensation can be fixed.

If you are dealing with a unit that has the thermostat spring attached to the air con, then you need to disconnect the electrical supply to the thermostat. Once you are done, take apart the two wires that are connected with the unit. After you take these out, you will be able to see that they are made up of two wires, one wire is positive and one wire is negative. These wires must be connected to a positive or negative to prevent the water that is accumulating in the air con from charging up the batteries.

Once you have removed the wires from the mounting bracket, you need to take out the air con itself. Look at the air con and notice that the bottom of the air con is wet with water. You will notice that the top part of the air con is dry and there are no clouds around. If you notice any white marks on the air con where the condensation is building up, then this means that the unit is leaking.

Take away all objects near the condensation spots and place them safely out of harm’s way. Now you can look at your problem. If you are still having trouble, then you should check the electrical connections. This is when things may get complicated because if there is a problem with the electrical connections, then you will need to replace the entire unit.

If everything checks out and you are still not sure that your air con is dripping water, then you need to use the services of a professional electrical specialist. It is important to remember that there are two different types of condensation. On one end of the spectrum, condensation that occurs due to humidity can cause your air con to drip water. On the other end, condensation can form when the air in the air con is chilled by the heat in the room.

These are extreme cases, but you should always keep your air conditioner serviced when it starts to drip water. The problem with condensation that forms in your air ducts can easily be repaired using inexpensive parts from your local hardware store. You can also make the necessary repairs yourself if you are confident about your ability to do so. If you cannot fix the problem yourself, then you should call in an air conditioning expert to handle the job for you.
