Why is my Friedrich Air Conditioner spitting water into the room?
- T
  Tiffany MosesSep 10, 2025
  If your Friedrich air conditioner is "spitting" water into the room, consider these potential causes: * Sublimation may be occurring. Ensure that foam gaskets are installed between window panes and between the unit and the sleeve. Also, make sure that fresh air/exhaust vents (on applicable models) are in the closed position and are intact. * The downward pitch of the installation might be too steep. Follow installation instructions to ensure that the downward pitch of the installed unit is no less than 1/4" and no more than 3/8". * A restricted coil or dirty filter can cause spitting. Clean the coil and filter, and advise the customer of the periodic cleaning and maintenance needs of the entire unit.

- B
  Brian MelendezSep 12, 2025
  If the thermostat in your Friedrich air conditioner is short cycling, here are a few things to investigate: * The thermostat differential might be too narrow. Replace the thermostat. * The plenum gasket might not be sealing, allowing discharge air to short cycle the thermostat. Check the gasket and reposition or replace it as needed. * A restricted coil or dirty filter can also cause short cycling. Clean the coil and filter, and advise the customer of the periodic cleaning and maintenance needs of the entire unit.
