Why is water dripping from the air conditioner?
The reason for the "crying" air conditioner is most often the lack of timely prophylaxis of the device or its incorrect installation. What is the danger of an air conditioner that does not work correctly and in what cases call a master?
Plugged tube
Water runs out of the air conditioner because the pipe is clogged, possibly for several reasons:
- Dirt has collected in the tube, preventing water from flowing out. To prevent this phenomenon, the interior of the air conditioner should be installed with a slight slope from the wall. Correct placement allows you to safely use the device for up to seven years!
- The insects have made a nest in the tube. This is not uncommon, especially in country houses. You should not try to install mesh barriers - a tried and true option, it will not stop dripping from the indoor unit of the air conditioner;
- The tube just lifted up and no water flows out of it. This happens quite often and is removable by the hands of the owner of the equipment.
Technical problems
The heat transfer of the outdoor unit may decrease. The radiator can become clogged with dust and debris, water drips from the indoor unit of the air conditioner.
It is very simple to check this - the wall of the house should be visible through the grating.
If, in addition, the device began to blow out the air weaker or the air conditioner turns off by itself, the problem is most likely in a decrease in heat removal from its inner part. It is necessary to call the master.
During the installation of the air conditioner, the cold circuit was depressurized. Freon leaked out, only the master from the service can fix it.
When the air conditioner was started for the first time, the air was pumped out poorly from the cold circuit. Moisture remains in the track, freezing during the operation of the device and clogging the capillary tube. Professionals will handle the problem. The system is treated with nitrogen and then filled with a new coolant. It is very bad if dirt gets 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 from the air conditioner.
It turns itself off
There can be many reasons why the air conditioner turns off by itself. If he gave a sound signal and then immediately turned off and this situation repeats with several attempts to turn it on from the remote control - it's time to call the master. The simplest reason may be poor contact on the air conditioner control board. What is the danger of such a breakdown option - by replacing an expensive component. There may also be a problem with the compressor, sensors or the control board itself.
