Aircon Servicing Singapore

Why is your aircon leaking water?

The indoor unit of your air con has a component called the evaporator coils which helps to cool the warm air. As warm air touches the condenser which is cold, condensation process kicks off and water droplets are formed. These water droplets drip into the drainage pan which is component to help drain the water through a drainage pipe that leads to outdoor or your bathroom.

Here are the most common reasons why your aircon may be leaking water:

1. Clogged Drainage Line

When the drainage line is clogged water can accumulate until they start to overflow from the drain pan. Drainage lines need to be monitored and cleaned periodically to avoid this problem. If it becomes clogged with dust, dirt, or debris, the water will not be able to flow through and will back up into the air conditioner.

2. Broken Drain Pan

When the drain pan that channels the water to the drainage line is broken, it will cause the water to spill over. The fix it to replace the drain pan with a new one.

3. Clogged Air Filters

You will be surprised that air filters clogged with dirt can cause excessive coldness trapped in the unit resulting in ice formation which would eventually start dripping on to the floor.

4. Refrigerant leaks

If there is a refrigerant leak in the AC unit, it can cause the evaporator coil to freeze, leading to water leakage.

5. Broken condensate pump

In some AC units, a condensate pump is used to remove the water from the drain pan. If the pump is broken, the water will not be removed, causing leakage.
