Dear sifus, hoping for some help during MCO period... Is this a serious problem and how much would the repair cost ? Or better if I replace with a new aircon altogether?

Thanks very much!

Likely the discharge pipe is jammed with gels.

DIY job if you want to save cost.

Just use your vacuum cleaner and suck them out at the exit of the pipe.

Done that myself earlier this year.

Thanks.. where is the discharge pipe btw.. 🙈

Outside of your home, presumably close to the ODU. Likely a small grey pipe dripping water everywhere.

Depends on your house design

Usually outside the window or something.

You staying landed or high rise?

Try servicing it. If there is a build up of dust etc will cause this.
Recently I had this problem.
Serviced it and the problem gone.

The blockage is at the 'mouth' of the drain pan. To clean, you need to remove tbe casing/cover to access it.

If you dont know how, better to call for service. Not necessary to replace ac.

This one easy job, just open the casing, then u will see the drainage tunnel, most likely it's blockage there.

borrowed ....

mine is leak behind the indoor ...water flow down from the wall ...isnt same issue ? drain pipe blockages too ?

btw my aircond very seldom use maybe once or twice per year ..

thanks ..

Leaking at the connector between the drain pan 'mouth' and the wall outlet or poor insulation of the copper piping.

The aircon drain pan is dirty and gel that block the water and flood up.

It is easy DIY by taken the main cover out. You're able to see the drain pan below the condenser with a foam insulation below.

already installed 6~7 years ..but just happened recently ...after aircond not using more than 6 months ..


need to google how to dismantle casing for brand sharp air-cond

Leaking along the wall behind the indoor unit is only the 2 places mentioned earlier.

You dont need to remove the casing but to tilt the lower part indoor unit outward and support with a plyer of screwdriver. Then you can check the joint and the black insulation whether it completely covered the piping.

Btw, if you are not familiar, pls call the repair man.

yes..not familiar ..but google ttube ...advised from sifu here ...might get some info how to check it ...maybe can repair it too ...haha...
