Ptac leaking water into the room?? Try this!

[@goingolfn1999]

I wish you would have shown how to clean the clogging of the drain pan to the outer part of the PTAC. There were some good points but just demonstrating the fixes would have been nice.

[@kelm1123]

Yes that would help a lot.

[@sethneal3081]

You absolutely rock for uploading these videos. Hot as heck here recently, and the old ptac was not getting enough cold air out. Took care of the standing water/gunk problem, and she's blowing out some sweet Alaskan tunes. Thank you sir.

[@bigeddie2136]

Love your videos. They are great. Full respect. Please just lower background music. I was ready to throw the ptac out of the 3rd floor window. Lol 🎶

[@PtacSolutions]

Lol.. duly noted. Thanks for watching

[@Prebound_]

Our old GE dial units never leak, nor do our Amanas', but all the Friedrichs do. We have a wall sleeve issue as well and are currently shimming with fat door stops. XD

[@eduardohandyman]

the reason why the ptacs leak inside the room, is because since the cold cleaner came out in spry , no one wants to remove the unit to wash with coil cliner and water,theis only spraye them with the coil cleaner spray and that is everithing is ready clean they say, and oll the dust in the wet coil closes the drain of the ptac and when the water cannot come out from behind, it overflows in from of the room

[@tonygray9174]

Readjusting the wall sleeve tilt solved the problem for me.

[@PtacSolutions]

Hello Tony Yeah, I would say that's one of the main reasons why they leak

[@josephgarza9377]

Would it be okay to just drill a hole in thw back side?

[@jimmysmith9957]

Is it possible to remove the entire PTAC from the drain pan without opening the refrigeration lines so that the drain pan can be painted? I have a unit with the coating on the drain pan that is coming off and the pan is starting to rust. Great Channel!!!

[@PtacSolutions]

Hey Jimmy Thank you!!.. question for you is the pan foam or the plastic one?

[@jimmysmith9957]

@@PtacSolutions Metal. I'm talking about the metal pan / base plate all the components are assembled in and attached to. The part that comes into contact with the sleeve at the bottom.

[@PtacSolutions]

Oh ok well Yes its possible, but it's going to be a lot of work

[@lllzergeouslll74]

I have a ptac unit and its not draining and blowing a visible steam like mist out of the vents worried it may be leaking freon it blows cold and no smell no weird sounds and I seen the drain pan does have standing water .

[@PtacSolutions]

Hello, the mist you see coming from the vents is usually condensation picked up by the blower that's usually normal... is the unit leaking water into the room?

[@stevenlapham5254]

great review of something quite a bit of entry level guys don't get - good job.

[@gabbyamo4509]

Music too loud.

[@paolaquintero520]

Just a question can closed the back of the unit outside on winter and heat up the room if I have a vinyl covering the outside Sometimes the cold air comes in making the room cold again.

[@HadesMcFisher2023]

How to remove the inside of the unit, after removing the cover??

[@josh88113]

I have a 150 of these leaky things. It’s the wall sleeve on everyone. I’m gonna try to cant them out

[@cantwaitkid]

Do you have a video that covers when unit is turned on, compressor comes on and has cold air then compressor kicks off too soon and never re- engages.

[@PtacSolutions]

No, but I would check for a dirty condenser coil, the funtion of the condenser motor or broken fan blade. How old is the unit?

[@cantwaitkid]

@@PtacSolutions the unit is a 2006 Carrier. I work at a hotel and we have this happening to several units, then we have guests complaining. Do you suppose these units are getting too hot on the outside of the unit? Is there a safety thermal switch?

[@PtacSolutions]

@@cantwaitkid well that code is due to the ouyside temperature is above normal, have you checked inside the condenser fan shroud if the coil is dirty?

[@weslawsonsilverback]

I will have to adjust the wallsleeve

[@panzerd5248]

Good video, but it’s hard to hear you over the music

[@PtacSolutions]

Yes, I know. Sorry about that

[@BrandyRant]

Will getting it draining properly also fix it not cooling like it should?

[@PtacSolutions]

Hello, No, if the unit is not cooling properly there could be other problems

[@BrandyRant]

@@PtacSolutions I will search through your other videos 😀

[@hugohernandez8783]

Thank you amigo ¡¡.

[@michaelbell5699]

I have a suburban dynaline making loud Humming noise when ac is on. Any thoughts?

[@PtacSolutions]

Hey Michael I'm not familiar with that type of unit, but maybe we can try to figure it out. That humming noise does it sound like it's coming from the electrical compartment?

[@rickellis8964]

can you put chlorine tablets in drain pan to keep sludge and muck from forming?

[@PtacSolutions]

Hey Rick You can use some of these.. not sure if these were the ones you are referring to www.amazon.com/dp/B000KM3BUY/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_navT_g_ZWWM6K1Z743H0PCN2EKH

[@ianharkins2172]

Hey, so from the outside through the grate I can see the drain pan is holding standing water. The wall sleeve has a visible drain pipe to the outside, but where is the drain pan supposed to drain from?

[@PtacSolutions]

Hello, the water goes from the ptac drain pan to wall sleeve where the drain pipe is connected. The unit has some holes on the back side where the water drains, also some of the water is picked up by the fan and shoot through the condenser coil

[@ianharkins2172]

@@PtacSolutions thank you. So if I’m getting water on the carpet inside, there’s probably something preventing the condensation from flowing to the back of the drain pan.

[@PtacSolutions]

@@ianharkins2172 it could be one of many, clogged drain pipe or pan, wall sleeve could be tilted inward(unlevel) or maybe the unit may just need to be washed

[@ianharkins2172]

@@PtacSolutions very helpful thank you

[@mr.orim0782]

Wish there was no music so I could hear what your were saying better

[@PtacSolutions]

Hello Ricky Yeah messed up by leaving the music really loud.

[@PlasticStrws]

Lift the front of the PTAC and screw it into the sleeve this will make the unit lean back and drain. Or drill some holes into the wall sleeve so it’ll drain. Lol so many easier methods

[@PtacSolutions]

Hello To drill holes into the wall sleeve would work if the the back of the sleeve was sticking out to the outside of the building, but there situations where that's not the case, like if they would be on the second or third floor, the water would just come into the building through the sheetrock or ceiling tile.

[@angelojuvera5885]

@@PtacSolutions True . I've dealt with that. Had to caulk the inside corners and openings of the sleeve so that the only place for water to flow was the drain itself.

[@prestonberg9604]

Damn those are some nasty looking units.good Lord. Ones in the hospital are from 2006 and look new

[@PtacSolutions]

Yeah I know.. I see a lot of them like that

[@pedvag10]

Friend! So I got a pmh093 that I discovered today with the electronics compartment full of water I noticed that on the drain pan on the id coil it was chipped (missing a little bit maybe a 1/4 inch right at the lip) this is visible right were the metering piston is will you say that's were the water is leaking to the electronics bay,? I was confused so I watch your video because of this will you know if this series of ptacs drain to the OD blower like the one on this videos ? thanks so much man!

[@PtacSolutions]

Hello, If the drain pan is missing a piece than more than likely that's how the water is overflowing to the electrical compartment. I have used some putty to create a boarder so the water won't overflow. It has worked for me, you could try it just make sure the pan is completely dry. So, you can eliminate that possibility

[@kelm1123]

Can you make a video on replacing a steam trap valve.

[@PtacSolutions]

Hey Kel I haven't worked on one of those yet..is that for a gas heater ptac?

[@kelm1123]

@@PtacSolutions oh Ok, the boiler is oil based.

[@d0805446]

Is the space right under the monitor display legitimately allowed to hold the water? Because mine not only the drain place under the coil has the water, but also the place I mentioned,

[@PtacSolutions]

No, that means the water is overflowing from the drain pan because is not draining properly

[@d0805446]

@@PtacSolutions thx, do you know where is the front drain vent? (in video you only pointed out the back drain vent, I've clean that out but I also like to clean from the start point)

I have 3 Ptacs (GE Zoneline) Compressor kicking on inside fan working but the outside fan blades that blow into the room arent kicking on. Any reason why.? Please help

[@PtacSolutions]

Hey Zee Make sure the fan is not caught on something(seen that a lot) .. if not check the capacitor or any loose wires. If all that checks out, next I would check if the board is sending power to the motor

[@perryclemons3090]

The jelly stuff is what i call ectoplasm lol. Use clorine tabs after you clean that shit out

Nice and useful video but my lord was it difficult to hear what you were saying. That background music was insanely loud and I even put headphones on to try and hear you more clearly and it was still crazy loud. Especially with no captions.
