How to Fix a Leaking Aircon Unit - DIY Now 

*Love this unit! Using upstairs in my sons bedroom **Fastly.Cool** and he’s finally able to be comfortable upstairs without me freezing downstairs. Works for more sqft than expected!*

Purchased: August 2023 - still works GREAT!I ru-vid.comUgkxxsUnXhGsSJLim_XnMHyQK0u3XVaW-CGn live in a studio and during the summer it gets scorching hot - really old building with no ac units. I can’t express how EASY it was to install. This unit has been a life savior during the summer and some days during other seasons where it can still be a bit warm at night. In this small place is my friend, a husky, poodle mix and myself. We need AC - lolI don’t use the dehumidifier option - I’m not sure if it will leak in my house, since I did not install the small draining hose that came with it. May look into it late but I don’t worry about much humidity in the apartment. I don’t understand why the negative reviews since all things mentioned, I personally did not find issues with. Definitely worth it!

OMG!! that beeping sound in the background drives me crazy!!

Thanks a million bananamana. I'm all the way over in abuja Nigeria, and your solution worked excellently well like a charm. Thanks a million! People like you make the world a wonderful place to live in.

Googled “how to fix a leaking aircon” and now I am watching my exact same aircon! Could not have fixed my leak without watching this! Thank you!!

Thanks so much for this! We fixed our leaking air cond at 12am following your instructions. Totally saved us from an unpleasant night!

Great DIY tutorial which will benefit many home owners, more so, from one among the community.....

Real and perfect DIY! Good job. Will follow your demonstration to fix my AC leaking.

Thank you for this video. When I took off the front, I saw the problem. There was gunk, and old dirty water clogging the front of the drain port, causing water to spill over. I vacuumed it out with a wet/dry shop vac. Problem SOLVED. This also gave me a chance to clean my filters.

Just a fantastic video. Exactly the fix and simplicity in every step. Thanks for taking the time and energy.

Thanks for the fixing instructions. My air conditioner is now back to normal.

Thanks for the simple yet concise instructions, saved me money!

Thanks heaps. This fixed my problem. I would not have tackled this without watching your video. Saved me a call out fee. Cheers.

@goodsinister Congrats! Glad to hear that you were able to use some of this video to DIY fix your own aircon unit. Thanks for the comment and support.

every couple of years, i come back here for this video on how to fix the leaking air-con. thanks BANANA!

OMG! You thorpeinbkk are the legend! Anyone who cleans their aircon with their mouth, because they have no vacuum is damn hardcore. Respect... Thanks for the great comment.

Thanks! This is a huge help. Got a leaky one right now and was just about to call in the service techs.

Oh my god, thank you very much! This was super useful. Im only sixteen and i fixed my ac all on my own!

@THENORTHSIDE456 super happy to have helped. Thanks so much for the comment. Stay Cool and Dry!

Thank you ever so much . Just for being there it helped me sort out my thoughts. because it's under warranty. I have been told we can't open the casing, so I have a professsional coming at the end of the month. Hope that it doesn't take him more than an hour. Very impressed by your dedication to helping people. Good one. Rock on Vivienne Bibbby Gold Coast

Great suggestion! I'm going to do that from now on. Thanks so much for sharing this added tip! (Christian)

Alhamdulillah it works with our GENERAL aircon too thank u so much

Thank you much for this video. Have Soleus air 24 btu installed in my media room. Turned-on tonight and its leaking water. Looks like its coming from the right side. Have to wait til morrow to work on it. Hopefully it'd be similar to the one you've got here on this video. Keep up the good work helping us.

thanks, this was a big help. From someone who understands what it is to live like in a hot climate

Just exactly what I needed. I am now able to save my place of employment on energy use,time and money. I have a more efficient air conditioning system, able to prolong the life of the unit(s) and the instructions were simple ,short , sweet and to the point. Within those few minutes of instructions, I also received a lot of helpful maintenance procedures and a hint of the supplies and tools that I would need. Very thorough. Thank You. I like being the cute little female maintenance person. ;)

@Jose So glad it worked out. Not every unit is the same as mine, but the root problem most of the time is backed up drainage pipes.

Appreciate the demo greatly. Many thanks

Very helpful video! Will give it a try now as my mom is complaining the ac in my living room is leaking. Wish me luck!

Thank you so much. This is a very useful DIY video. BananaMana TV.

How greatful I am too you. You saved me from a person to look at it and everyone said" its cheaper to get a new one than problem solve. I live in remote Australia. How much do you think it would cost me for someone to travel let alone fix it when its not guaranteed. Thankyou . In debted too you. Aussie Dave

Thanks, really informative and useful

thx for the tip. I was thinking of calling the maintenance guys, but now I will give it a go myself.

This is great! Thanks for saving some good $$$ in maintenance! (Despite the poor choice of BG music of this video). Still liked it. Thanks!!

This is really helpful. Thank you!

Thank you very much I have now fixed my leaking aircon after following you video. It was definitely a blocked drainage pipe andalls working well again. Thank you

This is totally wicked. Your step-by-step, with clear and concise video, was superb. I'm using this method over here in Singapore (stationed here from California). The repair teams we pay oodles for, over here, don't always come up to scratch. Thanks heaps. Btw, is the pipe set-up and latches mirror those on a Mitsubishi air-con?

thanks for being a good samaritan. good video. hope i can work it out, im not good with tools.

Thx so much ours was a little different but your video helped so much and saved us a call out fee. Thanks again.

Thank you so much. Great video. You helped us fix ours! all the best to you

Thanks a billion tons man.... 😍 You didn't just taught me how to do it... You also saved my money 😘 I didn't knew I can do it of my own 💸💸💸💵💸💸💵🤑💰

Thank you.. very useful Just to share with others my YORK model was slightly different. There were 2 additional screws to remove (hidden below to louver) in order to remove the cover. And the drip gutter went along the unit and collected in a small tray just behind the control panel. Its easy to locate if you follow the hose. I was able to unblock the drain hole quiet easily with a bottle brush.. definitely satisfying to pour a gallon of water into the gutter and hear it glug glug down the drain hole :) thanks again.

thanks for the video mate, it worked a treat.

THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH!! It worked, you're a lifesaver!!!! Liked and subbed!

Worked a treat, thank you :)

Just did it on my own. I hope it works. Thanks =D

Thanks great news! Thanks for the feedback!

Very helpful. Thanks!

The best , you saved my money . I wanna click like this video more 100 times.

Thanks!! With your help I was able to clean out the line on my Siemems klima!!

Thank you, you are a life saver.

Thanks Viv! Yes, go with the warranty always before ya do a DIY. It's just fun sharing stuff we'd be doing around the house anyways. Cheers!

Thanks for your help. I did exactly what you said and fixed the leak.

Thank you very much for this video.

Cool man. Im going to try this right now as it just started to leak water. I have to wait a week for a repairman so got nothing to lose.

Very helpful. Thank you

Great video. Huge help!

Thankssss a lot man!!! I was having that problem and today I tried to fix it using your DIY solution and it worked perfectly!!!! I"m so happy because now I can use it without thinking about getting everything wet... So thanks bro... Already Liked and Subscribed....

Really helpful video. Thankyou 👍

Thanks for the video. I used to do this just by going to the outside bit of the drainage pipe and blowing through it, but in my new apartment, it isn't accessible, so this really helped. Still had to blow through it though, because I don't have a vacuum cleaner. Just have to make sure you get your mouth out of the way before all of the gunk comes out.

@IThardcore Really appreciate your comment, glad that this video helped. Such a simple solution to what seems like a huge problem.

Good quick video!

Thanks so much! Great video!

thank you so much!! my father needed this thanks for help! :)

Thanks for the video! Solid instructions. I had two leakage problems for anyone that might be experiencing similar issues. The first was in the leakage pipe as shown in this video, and the second was over-cumulated water in the styrofoam installation near the base of the metal venting. I'm not about a long-term fix for the latter, but I probably drained out a cup of water and then used a towel to soak up the remnants. Hopefully, the additional leakage was due to the clogged, full drainage pipe, which I fixed.

eccellente, bravissimo, era quello che cercavo. Grazie mille.

Very handy. Thanks man.

excellent..could have done without the beep-beep sound in the background music though...annoying.

DIY rocks. Thanks buddy.

hey thanks for this!! really appreciate it!

Thank you very much mine was a different hose but same concept much appreciated

Very very well explained good thanks

I woke up at 3 AM and it was leaking on my head.

Thanks so much!!! It's fixes my aircon and not have to call for the service co.

I watched your video and tried the others for an easier fix. I used my wet/dry vac and went outside to suck the drain pipe. Making a seal with my hand I fixed the problem in about a minute.
