    I have a completely different model, but I did what you said and saw if its just slightly off level... and it was. I put something under it and made it level and the leaking stopped! 🙌 thankyou!

    Purchased: August 2022 - still works GREAT! th-cam.com/users/postUgkxxsUnXhGsSJLim_XnMHyQK0u3XVaW-CGn I 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!

    Thanks for posting this video. We have the identical unit. It started shutting off all the time. Wife had placed it on a wheeled dolly and it was not level. I bought this used awhile back. The air output while ice cold is not overly powerful so was wondering if that internal cover you removed may be clogged up. Anyway, thanks again.

    Mine leaked a small amount of water at the bottom recently in very high humidity and dew point levels. I have a newer portable a/c which is self-evaporating. Well as I went to pick the thing up and put it onto a pan, the hose disconnected from the back of the unit! It must have not been on there securely. After turning off the unit and re-affixing the hose all was well again and no leaking in the same weather conditions. Those accordion-like hoses even on these newer models can be tricky. And after weeks of moving it around here and there to clean around it, it must have loosened which caused the slight leak. I now keep a weight in front of the unit to keep it from moving around, giving it less of a chance to stretch out the hose and cause it to loosen. No leaking and just a very small amount of condensation at the top of the vent now.

    Thank you for this video.. We have the same air conditioner having the same problem… and also have cats that clogged up our filters, that i didn’t keep up with cleaning as much as i should have… (Mom was sick and passed, etc).. I appreciate you showing this.. much too complicated for me to fix and I’ve had it for 8 yrs.. I think i will buy a new one and make sure i take better care of it…. Ugh… money i don’t have but i don’t have one of you around lol..

    • @FerKurl
      @FerKurl  หลายเดือนก่อน

      In Michigan as well. Still use this unit everyday and don’t need to drain. The higher the humidity in the area it’s in will cause more water. Put it in fan mode a hour a day to help. You may have another issue as well. I do know some ppl elevate em and keep the drain open in very high humidity conditions. Hope this helps buddy

    • @Sam-tc4go

      Means your air is humid and the unit doesn’t keep up by evaporating alone. You need a tube/hose that fits the upper drain and a bucket to collect water.

    • @FerKurl
      @FerKurl  ปีที่แล้ว

      No. They produce water via condensation. The water is then removed through evaporation but depending on humidity and use they can overfill with water and shut down. Or in some cases the shut off float switch is sticky and doesn’t shut off and pours water on your floor
