Side mounted AC water not draining
I ran it for the first time today in a heat wave. It didn't cool as fast as I would have liked, considering it's a 10000BTU, but I think it was adequate. Then I noticed water dripping out the fan vent. When I remove the front grill, the water from condensation was sitting in the bottom of the AC unit and not draining away.
Before I take this heavy brute out again to take it apart and clean up any drains, is there anything I should look for?
I have already checked to see if the tube underneath is clear, and it is. There is not water in the plastic tray at all, all the water is in the bottom of the AC unit itself.
Does it need a secondary drain hole?
Does extra care have to be put into the slope of the unit? I was assuming that if it was sitting in the plastic tray, it would be sloped correctly.
