“I have water splashing out of the interior vent fan After a mild rain, i heard noises coming from unit. I looked and saw water splashing out of the interior vent. I cut the unit off and cleaned up the water but after the rain left I started the unit again. I heard the fan spinning thru water at the bottom of the unit. I looked at the unit and the fan in behind and looked sealed away from the exterior. Where is the water coming from and how can i stop this from happening. I have a second unit to install, but if I can't keep water from splashing inside I'll find another unit.”

Make sure the unit has pitch away from the window. In other words, make sure the unit is tilting so that the water will drain outside instead of inside. There are small drainage paths that allow for the condensation that is built up on the evaporator to drain outside, you can't see them but they're there. When it rains condensation builds up faster than when it isn't and if the unit is tilting towards the inside or is perfectly level. It could also be that when it rained a lot of water got into the unit and the drainage spots inside that you can't see are clogged. The unit that I just replaced was doing the same thing and I had to take it apart to clean it out so the condensation would drain outside instead of inside on my window sill. Let me know how you make out.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.My best guess is your air conditioner is not tilted slightly back to allow water to run out of the unit. Check your unit - it needs to be sloping back out of the house just enough to allow condensation and rain to flow out and away from the unit.
