Aircon leaking water possible to DIY?

[taquito]

Aircon will start to leak water after 30 mins to 1 hr, unit already 14 years old. Possible to self fix? Will it resolve by itself in future? Thanks!

Go buy wet/dry vacuum cleaner and suck the outlet of your condensate drain.

Most likely insai all the jelly.

Probably a simple case of piping stuck with sticky stuff. Just need to suck it out or push water thru for quick fix to allow you to use it till you get someone to service the aircon

Or you can diy. Got a super long thread on this. I learnt my diy there

Dry vacuum cleaner no dangerous?. I did it once and inside the vacuum bag compartment flooding.

Simple ac cleaning DIY for ur ac unit filter and also brush dust off fan coil can diy.

Those heavy cleaning like vacuum drainage pipe, dismantle entire ac unit to take out entire fan coil, cooling coil chemical wash etc better leave it to the sexperts.

Pricing wise. Chemical wash around 130 to 160 per unit. Simple maintenance per unit around 30.

Top up gas if not cold around 50 to 70 ba.

Suggest chemical wash minimum once a year if ac unit is use daily.

Simple maintenance u can diy. Like u buy those small paint brush and brush the dust off the fan coil then wipe clean the fan coil.

if it is water, likely condensate pipe block and water overflow from drip tray.

search for your drip tray and trace to the pipe, i pour vinegar + soup mixture to rinse the tray and use chopstick and alochol wipes to push mixture down to pipe and stir inside the pipe. just dont drop your wipes and chopstick into the pipe.

Wet/dry vacuum means those that can do both wet and dry.

Do not use dry, ie normal vacuum to suck water.

Anyway this type 99% easy case. Pipe choke only. Can suck out all the jelly one.

sometimes not choked pipe..the thick dust coat at the filters will cause leaks too.

it's simple diy.

the discharge hose is clogged by "jelly" or algae/bacteria growth, causing the water to back up and "leak" water.

first, get a vacuum to suck out the jelly from the discharge hose.
then use a neutral cleaner with anti-bacteria to kill the germs, spray on the cooling coil.
