Did you notice that your air conditioning is dripping? Well, know that this is a sign that something is wrong with the device. The defect may indicate a lack of maintenance or poor installation, in both cases, there is a solution for this “drip-drip”.
If your air conditioning is new, it is very likely that the drip be caused by installation errors. And then, the reasons could be several, according to Consul, a brand of home appliances. Between them:
- Pipe with a smaller diameter than indicated: The drain pipe must be the correct diameter for the air conditioning model. If the diameter is smaller, the water will not be able to drain and may drip.
- Different equipment in the same pipeline
- Hoses without trim
- Incorrectly positioned internal split unit
To resolve these issues, it is necessary to call a technician to carry out repairs safely and without damaging the device. However, if your air conditioning has been installed for some time, the problem may be a lack of cleaning.
Inclusive, o accumulation of dirt It is one of the most common causes of leaks, as it obstructs the passage of water. Take advantage of maintenance to check the drain, which is the pipe through which the water leaves the device.
“This passage can be blocked by dirt or uneven,” points out Consul’s official website. In this case, check that the device is free and clean.
Parts that need to be cleaned in an air conditioner:
- Dirty air filter: The filter retains dust, hair and other impurities from the air. When it is dirty, airflow is reduced, which causes the coil to evaporate more water than normal. This condensed water can drip into the room.
- Clogged drain pan: The drain pan collects condensed water from the coil and directs it to the drain piping. If the tray is clogged with dirt, water may overflow and drip.
- Clogged drain pipe: The drainage pipe takes the condensed water out of the room. If it is clogged with dirt, moss or other debris, water may back up into the appliance and drip.
Finally, three other causes can result in the device dripping:
- Sudden change in ambient temperature
- Defrost sensor failure
- High humidity
The above reasons also require the presence of an air conditioning specialist to carry out repairs. Take care of your safety and the useful life of your device.
