REASONS FOR A LEAKING AIR CONDITIONER AND WAYS TO RESOLVE IT One of the major problems during summer is the leaking of the air conditioner inside the room. Imagine the embarrassment of a leaking air conditioner while you are hosting guests. Think about the inconvenience caused by shifting the furniture to save it from the dripping water, and the lost aesthesis of your home, by the dispersed look of the furniture. So, here we are to discuss some of the major reasons for the leak and the ways to resolve them. If the problem persists, contact the AC service nearby. COMMON CAUSES OF THE LEAKING AC WITH RESPECTIVE SOLUTIONS CLOGGED CONDENSATE DRAIN LINE One of the primary reasons for the leaking AC unit is the condensate drain line due to dust, dirt, sludge, or mold. This leads to the collection of water in the unit, which eventually drains out. Thus, some of the modern ACs have a cutoff switch that shuts down the unit on account of any detection of clogging.

The best part is as the problem the solution is also very simple, just use a wet/dry vac to clean the condensate line. You can also try scrubbing it gently to remove any gunk. Also, check the drain pan of the AC for any water collection, and empty it. Of course, a professional would do it better, so contact a nearby AC repair service, occasionally for better results. RUSTED/ DAMAGED DRAIN PAN This is often a sign of long-term wear and tear on your AC. A damaged drain pan can be securely sealed by using a good quality water-resistant sealant to fill in any cracks that may be present. Pour water to verify accurate sealing. It is best to completely replace the drain pan. BROKEN CONDENSATE PUMP OR FLOAT SWITCH The condensate pump is responsible for removing water from the air conditioning system. When the water level in the pump rises, the float switch is turned on which triggers the water out of the system. Thus, in case of a problem either of them will not let water out, leading to its collection and ultimate leakage. Though the problem is easy to understand, it is complicated to solve it all by yourself. So, reach out to an AC repair service near you, and let the technician do his job.
