![]() ![]() You notice that water droplets are forming on the aircon flaps and rolling off onto the floor. This is mainly due to mild condensationof air from the air conditioner onto its flaps. This mode enables weak airflow, which facilitates the process of condensation of water vapour into water droplets. Dirty evaporator coils is another reason for weak airflow as they often get choked.įurthermore, if the aircon flap is facing an upwards angle, cold air will be blown directly onto it. Thus temperature on the surface of the flaps is lowered causing rate of condensation to increase. You may have heard from aircon technicians to reduce the number of electronic products under your aircon. ![]() The reason for this is because electronic products generate heat energy. They warm the air around the air conditioner unit especially if they have been turned on for prolonged periods. Therefore, the rate of condensation of warm water vapour in the air into water droplets is increased. To identify this issue, notice the black patches forming on the outside of the white trunking of your aircon. This happens when excessive amounts of water forms onto the copper pipes in your DAIKIN aircon due to Aircon condensation. Are you using worn-out Armaflex insulation? The older models of Armaflex insulation are only 3/8 inches thick. Compare this to the upgraded model of today that is 1/2 inch thick and thus longer-lasting. The thicker the insulation layer, the better it is in protection against water that is formed during condensation. If you are using an inverter aircon from DAIKIN, such an upgrade is necessary. This is because of the increased gas pressure as compared to a non-inverter aircon unit. Unfortunately, water leakage from copper pipes is a major problem that requires professional assistance. This problem is a lot more difficult to identify since it results in water droplets dripping behind your aircon. This problem was less common in the past when the design of aircon units allowed for water on the evaporator coil (from condensation) to fall into a drainage pan. Currently, because the exterior look of a unit is valued more, a less functionable interior design is favoured in units. This leads to water droplets flowing towards the back of the aircon, the backtray. ![]() As time goes on, water accumulated onto the evaporator will clog up the backtray. Daikin Aircon leaking water due to Loose water hose Therefore, water droplets will start rolling down from the back of the aircon unit. One more reason for water leaking from your DAIKIN air conditioner unit is the loose connection of water hose. This problem may occur within 1-2 days of bad aircon servicing. The technician did an unprofessional job and was careless in tightening the hose to the drainage pipe. You are advised to give a call to the air-conditioning technician for clarification so he can rectify the issue immediately. ![]()
