Air conditioner runs, then when it quits I hear water dripping in the inside unit.?

Question

I open the door to the unit and see a stream of water running down the unit and dripping on the filter

Answer 1

Your condensate drain line is clogged. You might be able to take the cover off on the inside unit where your a-coil is located(this is where you get your cool air).If the clog is no at the bottom of the pan,you might have to blow out the drain line. To keep this from happening in the future,you need to put about 2 capfulls of bleach in the bottom of the pan about twice a year to keep the line clear.Hope this was of some help.

Answer 2

vac the drain line first but check to see if the drain line has a trap. the reason for the trap is so the negivtive air pressure does not suck the water back up the pipe. a trap holds a little water and stops reverse flow of water.

Answer 3

Your air conditioner has a drain line that is clogged. It is piped from the area of your furnace where the cooling coil is located.

Find the drain pipe and trace it to the end. Use a wet vac to vacuum the drain line and open it so the natural condensation water can run out free.

Also make sure your filter is clean so you have good air flow and it wont ice up.

Answer 4

You need to clear this drain quickly or there's going to be water going onto the floor.  If its carpet you'll have a mess.
