Drilled a hole in my Air Conditioner

[TheRyuu]

It's a window one, is that bad? The water was just building up to insane amounts.

Half of what?

Read up that some air conditnioner's throw the water on the hot....thing.

Not sure how it all works, but my older air conditioner had a hole in it.

What, no real help?
Well thats what I get for coming to ATOT with my problems I guess.

Did the air conditioner not have a plug that would allow the water to be released?? And my window air conditioner acutally uses the water that builds up to help with the cooling.

No it didn't.

If it did infact help with the cooling, would it hurt if there was a hole in it?

Ugh. Whole != hole.

How is it that so many people confuse homophones like this? It really gets on my nerves for some reason

Yes, I know, I fixed it btw. I was typing to fast to notice it.

I don't think it will hurt it, but you shouldn't need to drill one. Is your air conditioned tilted at all in the window? It should have a slight tilt to it to help it evacuate the water out of its predrilled hole.

It really gets me when people dont understand sarcasm

If the coolant isn't leaking out, you're probably OK.

 

[TallBill]

I have no clue.

 

[Tom]

is it install correctly ? some window air conditioners are supposed to be tilted slightly, not level.

There was no predrilled hole. Thats why I put one there. I guess commen sense (meaning water+hole=get rid of all the water) doesn't apply here?

And yes, whenever I install an A/C I use a level to make sure it's slightly tilted.

And I'm just asking should I plug the hole up or not because I wasn't sure if it helped cool the air.

 

[PinmasterJay]

did you drill a hole in it so that a mouse could pop out?

 

[Whoozyerdaddy]

What? No mouse?

 

[swtethan]

you drilled a hole? can a mouse pop out of it now?

Sooooo, does a homophone have a microphone at both ends of the handset?

 

[Tom]

How did air get in before you drilled it ?

 

[drinkmorejava]

lol, WTH didn't you ask before you drilled the hole.

 

[GalvanizedYankee]

The pump that sends the water over the hot condenser probably failed. Normally the
water is evaperated and set on it's way with the hot exhaust air.

Drilling a hole to drain the water is OK, kinda ghetto but OK.

The real question is; did a mouse pop out?
