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.

Yes that would help a lot.

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.

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 🎶

Lol.. duly noted. Thanks for watching

Music too loud.

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

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

Thank you amigo ¡¡.

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

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.

Be nice to hear of the music. TURN IT UP LOUDER!

I will have to adjust the wallsleeve

Readjusting the wall sleeve tilt solved the problem for me.

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 .

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?

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!

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

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!!!

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?

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

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.
