If it's making water it sure has Freon. Your comment indicates
you don't know much about refrigeration. The moisture being
produced needs a path to allow excess water to get to the bottom
tray/pan. Something is blocked.

We have a window air conditioning unit in one of our windows. It
is
mounted tilting downward, which is supposed to ensure that the
moisture produced by the cooling process flows out the back of
the
unit. However, since we got this unit about a year and a half
ago
(it's out of warranty), and it's doing it again now that we've
turned
it on for a few hours, the moisture just pours out of the vents.

When you look inside the vents from the inside, you see a
styrofoam
area with an opening in the middle where you can see the fan in
the
air conditioning unit. Looking at the unit from the back, from
outside, the styrofoam part is closed off from the working parts
of
the air conditioning unit and the back grille.

When the unit is operating, you can sit there and see an
enormous
amount of water pool up inside the grilles around the styrofoam
area,
I mean an enormous amount. It doesn't appear to have any outlet
to run
back to the back of the unit, it certainly doesn't appear to be
running down into the opening to the fan area. It just pools up
and
blows out the vent grilles. You can literally hear the thing
sloshing.

We have tried everything and it's impossible to mount this unit
tilted
any more downward at the back ... you can see the downward slant
in
the styrofoam area ... but it continues to blow water out of the
grille to where we have to keep towels on the floor in front of
it.
I've even thought of punching holes in the styrofoam to see if
that
might help the water stop pooling up in the area around the
vents.

Does anyone know what might be going on here, or have any
suggestions
for what we might could do to fix this. It's a great air
conditioning
unit as far as cooling the small area we use it for, but we're
getting
tired of having to clean up water from it.

Is it super humid out, maybe its low on freon
