Title: The air conditioner dripped water, and I thought that the water pipe was dirty and dredged, but I didn't expect that there were 2 reasons
With the arrival of summer, the frequency of use of air conditioners is gradually increasing. However, in my years of experience in water and electricity maintenance work, I have found that many people think that they only need to clean the water pipes when they encounter the problem of dripping water in the air conditioner, but the actual situation is often much more complicated. Today, I will share with you an interesting story that reveals the two hidden reasons behind the dripping water in the air conditioner, and analyzes it in detail with my professional knowledge.
The beginning of the story: an unexpected problem
One hot summer day, I received a call to repair my air conditioner. The caller was a resident named Mr. Li, who described that the air conditioner unit in his house had recently started dripping, and he guessed that it might be a clogged water pipe, and hoped that I could come and fix it. So, I quickly rushed to Mr. Li's house with my toolbox.
First, after the water pipe is cleaned, the problem is still the same
When I arrived at the site, I immediately inspected the air conditioner. Sure enough, the water pipe near the inner unit was indeed partially clogged with dust and dirt, and I cleaned the water pipe and cleared the blockage. However, when I restarted the air conditioner, the water droplets were still dripping from the internal unit, which made me feel a little confused.
2. Explore the essence of the problem: the discharge of condensate
I took a closer look at the location of the dripping water and found that the dripping did not come from the cleaned water pipe, but from the drain of the internal unit. This caught my attention because, under normal circumstances, the internal unit should drain the condensate outside, not indoors.
3. One of the solutions: the installation of the internal machine
I began to wonder if there was a problem with the installation of the air conditioner. So, I checked the installation of the internal unit and found that the slope of the internal unit was not set properly, resulting in the condensate not being able to drain smoothly. This is the first hidden reason. I adjusted the angle of the internal unit to ensure that the water could be drained smoothly to the outside.
Fourth, the second solution: the internal condensate drainage hole is blocked
Despite adjusting the mounting angle of the inner unit, there were still water droplets dripping from the drain holes, which confused me. So, I turned on the internal unit for further inspection, and found that the condensate drainage hole of the internal unit was also blocked with dirt. This is the second hidden reason. I used professional tools to clean the drain holes and make sure the condensate drained out smoothly.
5. Summary and Suggestions
Eventually, after adjusting the installation angle and cleaning the drainage holes, the air conditioner in Mr. Li's house was operating normally again, and there was no longer any dripping. This repair process made me realize that the problem of dripping water in the air conditioner may not be solved by simple clogged water pipes, but may also involve aspects such as installation angle and drainage hole cleaning. Therefore, for users who encounter similar problems, I recommend not to take it lightly, and it is better to ask a professional to inspect and repair it in time to avoid more serious damage and safety hazards.
Through this maintenance experience, I not only solved the customer's problem, but also deepened my understanding of air conditioning maintenance.
