You’re the best

Thank you so much!!!

Window units dissipate water through the outdoor condenser coil. This is why they are installed level in the window. You should ask the manufacturer how the unit is supposed to drain

This one help me a lot and save our AC 😂🎉

Thank you sir!

SNOWY TELEPHONE!!!!

Chipper is such a sweetheart!

Genius! Pure Genius! Going to try this on my unit tomorrow afternoon!

that was very satisfying to watch

I don't understand Why they don't account for this known issue but I thank you for this idea!!

MORE INFERIOR NEW SHIT!!!!!

I'm so happy I came across your video. Thank you so very much. God bless you!

So smart!!

Basically wicking the water out

For those not in the know... Telephone is a Dutch Angel Dragon Edit: ..they are known..to squeek (and be adorably cute)

Seeing telephone makes me think he is an animal undercover that fursuit

Great tip. I used a piece of cheesecloth and drained 2" in one day. Simple and effective. Thanks.

You are a genius 😊 thanks from Venezuela.

I just did this to my window unit. It's been raining here so I couldn't tell if my window unit was draining or not and I just installed this yesterday. I did the same thing you did and almost immediately the water started dripping from the gauze. Because of the way the unit is mounted on the inside (Magic Mount), the unit doesn't tilt. Thank you for sharing your idea!!!!

Regardless of the warranty, is it recommended to drill holes or not to drain the water? It makes no sense of leaving the water standing in the pan when leaving the machine turned off. Please advise.

Man, You’re a genius. I put a bounty paper towel in. The within 3-5 mins. it drained and stopped overflowing

Just saved me $300 I was going to buy a new one today bc the one I have WILL NOT drain. Thank you so much.

Most modern window air conditioners do not have drain holes or plugs for water removal. Instead, the condensation is distributed by the fan sling and thrown up against the condenser to aid in cooling the unit more efficiently.

More Internet misinformation - drain is not needed. Newer AC units rely on a reservoir of water which is spread across the cooling fins by a special fan improving efficiency. Add a drain hole and you have reduced the efficiency resulting in higher utility bills. An additional minor point - a window unit will not reduce humidity inside the home. The inside air is only recirculated not exchanged so the humidity level stays relativly the same. Want less indoor humidity, get a dehumidifier.

Thank you. I have been mopping up water in my house because of this problem. It runs on to the floor. I am praying this works. I will give update.

I only run mine at night and its above my head and cant stand the sound of the water kve got 4 gauz pads and it doesnt drain all out. It worked at first then quit. Husband took it out and dumped all the water out and was fine then we got some rain and now its back to the wayer sound and I cant stand it. HELP

Slinger ring . It’s supposed to have water ..

Do Not drill holes in bottom of window air conditioning units !!!!

It is collected for cooling, if you look through the bent slots you will see fan blades with a ring attached to the tip of each blade being dragged through the collected water kicking it up to cool external components. That in turn aids interior room cooling

Thanks greatly appreciate the advice.

Thanks man

This video helped me August 2024 thank you

Thank you so so much for your video. I adjusted my window AC this year and huge amounts of condensate water drained for some time. All of a sudden it stopped, and I don't know why. It started spraying water from the side and top. I tried different ways to drain the water, to no avail. I just found your video and really glad I did. Now I need to clean the bricks and protect them. Thank you again!

Thanks for the Great Tip , Does anyone have any idea why the A/C manufacturers do NOT put a drain plug or drain hole to prevent A/C MOLD and sickness to people?

I can tell that they use LED bulbs as halogen bulbs fade while LED doesn’t.

I used a Lysol wipe. It worked great! Thank you!

I am guessing mine has a drain hole. I can feel water beneath. That said this has been a very humid day. I placed a wick made of paper towel folded over several times and have about 5 inches of it hanging out now. I put a bunch of staples in the outside part and lower down to keep the paper towel hanging low. Now that its wet that's not a problem. THX for the tip! Its dripping like crazy now. I will go out and check it later. THX. Again for the tip!❤

Lot of these acs are meant to splash water at the coils...if there's a ring around your fan, DONT DO THIS.

I know most are designed to pool water in the pan to splash water up on the coils and for years my Haier unit has been fine but just today i noticed it has been slinging water all around ourside my window and inside into my room onto the floor and on the vents spraying water. I probably dont have it tilted properly, but then the seal on the window isnt as good. Some of the overflow holes may be clogged im thinking.

I've been having probs with my Window AC throwing water everywhere outside the past 2 months. It did get worse due to the increase in humidity here in Missouri. It was so bad by yesterday evening that I went online in search of any possible help and lo and behold I found your video. I cut 2 pcs from an old men's ribbed under shirt (A-shirt) last night then this morning I was able to insert both of them (1 on each end of the back of the AC). The fitting was so tight that I used some thin scissors to help push the pcs in place. Just shocking how very quickly the 2 "wicks" went to work draining the water and dropping it straight down - even though it was unusually windy today. And by this afternoon the window AC was running much quieter also! Valdor, I'm so very thankful that you posted the video tip to help with this issue. Also - Kudos for the others who posted materials they used as a wick!! The internet is a great tool for helping others. Thank you again many times over. And big hugs to you. 😀 Posted July 29, 2024

Condensation water can carode the condenser as I have drain holes in bottom of my pan and it cools just fine. Have seen other units taken apart where bottom of condenser had suffered from corrosion due to sitting in 1/2 inch of condensation water. Keep condensor clean as with evaporater on inside behind filter and AC will work fine.

The best and easiest way ever! Thank you!

Thanks for the tip, using someone else's AC unit and I didn't want to drill holes in it

Nice vid, also cool furry suit!

TELEPHONE IS SO CUTE ESPECIALLY WITH THE SQUEAKING AND WHRN SHE SHOOK THE SNOW OFF
