Now let’s dive in more about aircon dripping water how to fix it…
1. A Clogged Drain Line Cause Wall AC Unit Leaking Water Inside
The most common reason for air conditioners to leak water is a clogged drain line.
As the name suggests, the drain line is the pipe that links the overflow pan to the outside or the drainpipe depending on the setup of your air conditioner.
There are a few reasons why this line might become clogged and a few things that you can do to remedy this.
The first step that you need to take is to look at where the water is coming from.
If water dripping from AC indoor unit, it is possible that the unit was not installed correctly. This is a problem that many people face with window air conditioners that tilt to the front when they are installed incorrectly. In these cases, the unit will need to be taken out and installed correctly to stop the leak.
If the water is not coming from the front, you should check the tubing leading from the unit for any debris and dirt. If you feel any resistance in the tubes, you should clear the blockage so the water can move freely.It is important to note that many modern units will have an emergency shutoff feature which will protect the device when there is a clog in the drain line.
If your unit has suddenly turned off for no reason, you should look at the drain line.
While you are checking the drain line, you should also look at the overflow pan in your unit.
This pan is located underneath the unit and could be the cause of your water leaks.
When this pan is damaged, the water will spill out onto the floor.
When inspecting the pan, you should look at each corner carefully. You should also look along the edges for any holes, cracks or notches. Any of these issues will allow water to flow from the pan to your floor.
Small holes in the pan can be easily fixed with epoxy, but you might want to replace the entire pan for the best and longest lasting results.
There are many people who do not realise that a dirty air filter can cause a water leak.
The air filter in your air conditioner will need to be changed regularly and leaving a filter for too long will impede the air flow in the unit.
When this happens, the air around the evaporator coils will become too cold and this will cause the coils to freeze over.
When the coils freeze, ice will form inside the unit. The heat from the outside air will then cause the ice to melt and this will lead to a leak.
It is important to note that a dirty air filter is not the only reason why your coils might freeze, but it is the most common.
Air conditioner filters will generally last 1 to 2 months before they should be replaced.
When you have a water leak, you should check your filters and see if they are dirty.
You should also consider when the last time they were changed was and replace them if you are unsure about this. Changing your filter could prevent a lot of problems with your unit that you will want to avoid.
If your air conditioner is new, the drain lines and filters will generally not be the cause of the water leak. Incorrect installation could be to blame for your sudden water problem.
There are a number of points that you should consider regarding the installation that could cause water to leak from the unit.
The first point that you need to look at is whether or not the air conditioner is on a flat surface.
When the unit is not level, the water in the overflow pan will leak and the drain line will not work correctly. If the unit is not level, you should look at adjusting it or getting the person who installed it to adjust it.
If you have a window air conditioner, you should consider if the seals that secure the unit to the window are loose.
When the seals are not done correctly, the warm air from outside will meet the cold air from the condenser. This will cause condensation and will eventually cause a water leak.
If you are handy enough, you will be able to fix these seals yourself or you will need to contact the installer.
When your air conditioner has a broken pump, the water from the overflow pan will not be drawn into the drain line. This will cause the pan to overflow and the excess water to leak onto the floor.
You will only be able to determine if this is the problem after you have determined that the drain line is clear of any blockages.
To test if you have a broken pump, you will need to pour some water into the overflow pan.
If the water does not drain, the pump could be the cause. If you have a broken pump, you will need to call a professional to assess the pump and replace it.
When you have water leaking from your air conditioner, there are a number of causes that you need to investigate.
The most common cause will be a blocked drain line or a dirty filter. These problems can be dealt with easily, but if the pump is broken you will have to call a professional.
The condenser unit of your air conditioner is usually located outside of your house.
The unit comprises of a blower fan, the compressor, and the condenser coil.
This outdoor unit is more likely than the indoor unit to accumulate dust, dirt, and grime, and may even get damaged due to any outside particle getting stuck inside the condenser.
Any leakage in the condenser coil and aircon pipe are also common.
If you notice any leaks in the condenser coil, pipe leaking or leaking water in front part, you should immediately seek professional help for aircon servicing in Singapore.
However, some leaks could be hidden or too minor to provide any visual sign.
If you suspect any leakage in the condenser coil, you can perform a simple test at home to be sure about whether the coil is leaking.
If you notice any severe damage in the coil, you should get it replaced by professionals.
However, before you contact professional aircon service, you can take the following steps to determine if the coil is leaking.
A. Unplug the air conditioner
The first thing to do is to turn off the Aircon and unplug it. You may need to turn off the circuit breaker or fuse controlling the power supply to the Aircon.
B. Remove the back of the outdoor unit
You need to use a screwdriver to take the screws off from the back of condenser unit located outside of your home.
Now pull off the back vent, so that you can view the inside of the unit.
C. Clean the inside compartment
The next step is to clean the inside of the aircon unit with a brush.
If you want to clean hard-to-reach parts of the aircon, you should use a blower or a vacuum cleaner.
Once you clean the outdoor unit inside out, you should be able to see through the condenser coil connected to blower assembly.
In general, you’ll find the blower assembly the edges of the outdoor unit.
You can use a flashlight to check for any leakage in the condenser coils.
D. Perform the test
Now you need to roll a dry tissue paper and run it through the condenser coils.
After some time, pull the paper out and check it for any traces of liquid.
If you notice that the dry paper has soaked in any liquid, you can consider this a clear sign of leakage from your condenser coil.
E. Attach the aircon parts in their former position
Reattach the back vent with screws.
You will need to use the screwdriver again for the job. Keep the Aircon unplugged till an expert technician comes and checks it.Call 9456 0875 if you need our help

FAQ
My aircon is leaking. Is it normal?
It is usually caused by some defects and will need some repairs to function correctly.
How do you fix a leaking air conditioner?
It will depend on the cause of the leak. It is much better to contact an aircon repair expert in order to accurately diagnose the reason for the leaking and do the repair needed.
Can we use ac when water is leaking?
Yes. We can use AC if water is leaking from your AC. But you should get it fixed as soon as you’re able to. However, if water is leaking from your unit, then this may indicate there is a problem that should be addressed. For example, if you have a split AC and water is leaking from the indoor unit, then you might need the drainpipe fixed or it needs to be unclogged. If it’s your window unit that is leaking, then the air filter may be to blame and you’ll either want to replace the filter or check to see if it’s clogged and needs to be cleaned.
Is it normal for aircon to leak water?
Yes. It is normal for an aircon to leak water depends on different factors. Generally speaking, if your AC is producing small amounts of water and it’s located near the drain pipe, then this is normal. This is especially the case when you use your AC during very hot days. In fact, it is usually normal to see a small puddle right under the condensing unit.
However, if your AC is leaking heavily inside your house, then there may be a bigger issue. Then it’s time to call a professional. They’ll get to the root of the problem.
How to prevent aircon from leaking?
There are many ways to prevent an aircon from leaking, with one of them being to check the drain pan. The pan can be found right under the evaporator coil. What this pan does is collects condensation that your indoor unit produces.
Have a good look at it because if it is damaged, then this may be why your aircon is leaking. Even if your aircon isn’t leaking and you want to prevent leaks, then you should still inspect your drain pan. If your pan is cracked or rusted, then this is a sign that you should replace it soon. If you don’t, then your aircon could start leaking in the near future.
Is water leaking from air conditioner dangerous?
No. It is not dangerous if there is water leaking from air conditioner. But it will be troublesome and messy because the water will leak inside your house once you start using it. The situation will become worst, especially if the water leaking is serious.
Why does my aircon pipe leaks?
There is a lot of reason why your aircon pipe leaks. Most of the time, its because of problems with the drain, where the pan might be overflowing or clogged.
Why is my ac leaking water inside the house?
AC leaking water inside the house is usually caused by a clogged drain pipe which blocks the water from flowing out. There are also other reasons such as a very dirty filter and damaged overflow pan.
Should I contact an aircon repair contractor if my aircon leaks?
They can adequately check the aircon unit and repair immediately.
How can I stop my aircon unit from leaking water inside?
Proper maintenance would help prevent the water from leaking from the AC unit. Make sure that the drain is not clogged and properly sealed.
Should I turn my AC off if it is leaking water?
Yes. The leaking water is evidence that the AC system is failing, and it needs to be repaired immediately or replaced.
Air conditioner leaks may manifest in various ways, including moisture around the equipment, water seeping onto flooring near the unit, air blowing hot despite cool breezes from the unit (indicating that no refrigerant is flowing), etc.
Do aircon compressors leak water?
Yes, compressors can leak water. That doesn’t mean that all of them do, but the potential exists in some cases. Most air-conditioners will produce water through a moisture-related process called “condensation“. Compressors are made with metal, and metal expands when it gets hot and contracts when it cools. Because refrigerant is continually being compressed in an air conditioner’s ‘heat coil’, there’s a lot of temperature change going on inside the coil – so much in fact that condensation commonly develops because of this.
When we turn to our AC to lower the room temperature or cool off after being out in the sun, we’ll be looking at a list of potential side effects, including increased humidity from both takings.
Why does my AC leak after a service?
The leaking is often the result of three factors:
The technician has incorrectly tightened something, and it has either cracked or turned.
Improper reassembly following dirty service.
A seal was inadequately applied, cracked due to contamination, and now leaks (usually the “O” rings).
