1. Identify the source of the leak. This can be done by visually inspecting the unit or by using a leak detector.
2. Clean the evaporator coil and drain pan. Dirt and debris can accumulate on the evaporator coil and drain pan, which can block the flow of water and cause a leak. Clean the coil and drain pan with a mild detergent and water.
3. Check the drain line for clogs. The drain line is a small tube that carries water from the evaporator coil to the drain pan. If the drain line is clogged, the water will back up and leak out of the unit. Clear the drain line of any clogs.
4. Check the refrigerant level. A low refrigerant level can also cause the unit to leak. Check the refrigerant level and add more refrigerant if necessary.
5. Repair any damaged parts. If any parts of the unit are damaged, they will need to be repaired or replaced. This includes the evaporator coil, the drain pan, the drain line, and the compressor.
6. Call a professional. If you are not comfortable performing these repairs yourself, call a professional HVAC technician to help you.
