Inspect the Drain Hole: Ensure that the drain hole on the air conditioner is clear and not obstructed. A clogged drain hole can prevent condensation from draining properly, leading to leaks. Clear any obstructions and ensure the drain hose is properly positioned to allow water to flow out.
Improper Installation: If the air conditioner was not installed correctly, it can cause drainage issues. Make sure the unit is tilted slightly backward to ensure proper water drainage. If you're uncomfortable making adjustments yourself, consider hiring a professional for assistance.
Seal Openings: Check for any gaps or openings around the window where the air conditioner is installed. Use caulk or weatherstripping to seal any gaps and prevent water from seeping through.
Clean the Filter: A dirty or clogged air conditioner filter can obstruct airflow and restrict the proper evacuation of condensation. Clean the filter as per the manufacturer's instructions to ensure optimal airflow and reduce the risk of leaks.
Contact Support: If the issue persists, consider contacting Maytag support or a qualified technician for further troubleshooting and repair.
