water dripping from a Daikin split-unit airconditioner
I've had water dripping out of the front of my air-conditioner. I
assumed that there must be some sort of blockage in the outlet pipe and established this by blowing through the pipe from outside, a mass of dirty water appeared inside and there was resistance suggesting an insect or similar has caused a blockage. So, I need to clear it from the inside. I can't find a manual showing how to dissassemble the unit. Has anybody done this? I'd hope that it should be easy enough to just clean out the pipe, but, if I'm going to have the entire thing in bits at my feet before I get to the pipe then I might call out an engineer instead... Any advice? |

Any advice? Hi Try sticking a wet and dry vacuum on the outside end of the condensation drain - that might do the trick without any disassembly. Steve |

I'll see if it has fixed it.. |

Any advice? There may be a mixture of dead flies, bacterial gunk and other nasties, especially if the drain route is convoluted or long. |
