Check for proper fan speed or blocked coils. Correct as needed. * The compressor running abnormally hot. Check for a kinked discharge line or restricted condenser.

  If your Friedrich air conditioner is “spitting” water into the room, it could be due to: * Sublimation, where unconditioned saturated outside air mixes with conditioned air. Ensure that foam gaskets are installed between window panes and between the unit and the sleeve. * The downward pitch of the installation being too steep towards the back of the unit. Follow installation instructions to ensure the downward pitch is no less than 1/4” and no more than 3/8”. * A restricted coil or dirty filter. Clean and advise the customer of periodic cleaning and maintenance needs of the entire unit.
