  • If the unit is leaking out of the return air duct the drain pipe is plugged. Your saying your indoor ac unit. Is this a portable unit that rolls around to each room or a window unit or a whole house system? Once I know what unit it is that you have I can suggest methods of repair. On all of these units if the air stops blowing and it leaks when its turned off for a short while, This can be the result of ice build up on the coils. If this is occurring the unit is freezing and that is a sign that the refrigerant is low in the system or the blower fan is beginning to fail. In any case please describe a bit better the AC unit type.

    We had the same thing happen to us a couple of weeks ago. Our drain pipe (for condensation I think) was clogged. We called a serviceman and he used a wet vac to suck the yuck out of the pvc pipe. Took all of 2 minutes! But came with a hefty bill. I had noticed a small amount of water about a month ago but after some of my male family members said not to worry, I just let it go. Well, now it leaked under our kitchen flooring and we may end up having to replace all of the flooring in our kitchen. I quick, cheap fix a few weeks earlier would have saved all this damage.

    Also make sure it isn't tilted in towards you--this happened in our old apartment.
