Aircon Leaking Water? Fast Leak Repair in Kuala Lumpur & Selangor

AC Fix stops indoor aircon leaks fast across Kuala Lumpur and Selangor — common causes are clogged condensate drains, dirty coils/filters, cracked drain pans, frozen coils, and incorrect drain slope. Turn off the unit, move valuables, take photos, then contact a certified technician for a safe diagnosis.

Quick safety steps (do these first)

  1. Switch the AC off and turn off the circuit breaker.

  2. Move electronics, rugs and furniture away from the water.

  3. Catch dripping water with a bucket or tray.

  4. If you smell burning or see sparks, do not restart — call immediately.

  5. Take photos of the indoor unit, drain pipe and wet areas for the technician.

These steps protect your home and speed up diagnosis.

Air Conditioner Repair

What usually causes indoor AC water leaks?

Understanding the cause helps fix leaks permanently. The most frequent issues are:

Clogged condensate drain line

Algae, dust and sludge build up and block the PVC drain. When blocked, water overflows into the indoor casing or ceiling cavity.

Dirty filters & frozen evaporator coil

Restricted airflow (dirty filters/coils) can freeze the coil. When the ice melts, excess water may overflow the drain pan.
If heavy dirt or mould is the cause, a professional aircon chemical cleaning often clears coils and drains and prevents leaks from returning.

Cracked or misaligned drain pan

Age, UV exposure or previous servicing can crack or misplace the condensate tray, causing leaks in odd places.

Low refrigerant causing coil freeze

Leaks in refrigerant lines cause the coil to ice over and then drips when it thaws. Refrigerant work must be done by certified techs.

Disconnected or damaged drain pipe

Loose joints or hairline cracks in the drain piping allow water to escape along the pipe run.

Poor installation / incorrect slope

If the indoor unit or drain pipe isn’t level, water won’t flow correctly and will back up.

Quick DIY checks you can safely try

(Only do these if you are comfortable — always switch off power first.)

  • Clean the air filter: remove, rinse, dry, reinsert.
  • Check the outdoor drain outlet for water flow when AC runs.
  • Inspect visible drain pipe for loose joints or cracks.
  • If you have a wet/dry vacuum, carefully vacuum the drain outlet outside to remove clogs (seal tightly).
  • Do not open the coil pack, handle refrigerant, or touch electrical components.

If the leak continues after these checks, call a professional — DIY beyond this is risky.
