When the filters, or heat exchanging coil, are dirty or blocked, this causes a restriction in air flow. This in turn can then cause the temperature of the coil to drop. If the coil temperature drops below zero, moisture in the air that is condensing on the coil can freeze and form little ice flakes which are then blown out of your air conditioner, causing water leakage. The other cause of leakage is blocked drain can be pretty obvious and easy to diagnose. Water will usually drip down the wall from the back of the unit and may also leak through the air outlet at the front if the drain is blocked.Check the drain pump tube.If the tube is leaking then it will leak whenever water passes through it.Its not a electrical circuit fault or any board .Its a fault in part which can be easily replaced.Show this unit to other technician its a common problem of servicing and cleaning and some water passing parts in the unit needs to be checked.The leaking water is blowing out when AC turns ON.Thanks. keep updated for any more query.you can rate this solution and show your appreciation.
