In detail

01

Where the water comes from

In cooling mode the evaporator condenses moisture from the air. Normally it flows into the drip pan and out through the drain hose.

If the drain is blocked, the pan overflows — water runs over the casing onto the floor or wall. Drips when the AC is off can be leftover water in the pan.

02

Cause 1: clogged drain and dirty pan

Dust, mold and gel build up in the hose bend and pan. In dusty Tashkent summers, clogs form in 1–2 seasons without cleaning.

Signs: constant dripping while running, sometimes odor.

Our technician flushes the drain, cleans pan and coil. Part of AC repairfrom 180,000 UZS.

03

Cause 2: bad installation and slope

The indoor unit should tilt slightly toward the drain outlet. Level mounting or a hose running uphill traps water.

Long drain runs without slope, missing trap or loose joints also leak.

We check level, slope and hose integrity on site.

04

Cause 3: frozen evaporator

Ice on the coil melts faster than the drain can handle — puddles below. Causes: dirty coil, low freon, bad sensor or valve.

Drain-only fixes won't last — pressure and coil diagnostics needed.

05

What to do before the technician arrives

  • Turn off the AC and breaker — don't pour water on the unit.
  • Place towels and a container.
  • Check the outdoor drain end if accessible.
  • Don't use wire in the drain.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01Is dripping onto an outlet dangerous?+

Yes. Turn off the breaker and don't use the unit until inspected — short circuit risk.

02Can I clear the drain myself?+

Filter rinse — yes. Internal drain without opening the unit often makes clogs worse.

03How much to fix a leak?+

Cleaning and flush — from 180,000 UZS. Line repair or refill — quoted on site after diagnostics.

04Why only at night?+

Long cooling runs produce more condensate. A partial clog shows up during extended operation.
