Kenmore 8000 BTU room a/c model # 75089

[calligrapher]

There is water condensing on the louvers as well as droplets being "spit" out along with the cooled air. I think maybe the condensate is not draining correctly, because if I back off the temperature control until the condenser cuts off, the problem resolves (eventually). But then it's too hot to sleep. Ick. I cleaned the filter, hoping maybe that might clear up the problem (can you tell I'm a grasshopper?!), but noOOOOoooo...

Please help! :burning:

Either the back of the a/c is not lower than the front or it has to be cleaned, the drain from the evap to the back is clogged with dirt....the water has to drain into the pan in the back so the unit can use it to cool the condensor down...

If you have water coming out of the ac into the house it is because the ac is tilted towards the house slightly OOPS! reposition the ac to where it leans slightly backwards away from the house. that way the water will drip in back of the condenser where it is supposed to rather than on the bottom of the evaporator.

DO NOT DRILL a hole in the bottom, I dont know how many folks have brought me a dang window unit that was clogged or improperly positioned in the window and decided to just drill a hole on the bottom. It would be better to spray the water hose in the back and try to loosen up the leaves and drive out wasps nests and birds and critters thats back there making that a home.
