Mystery Solved: Why Your Midea AC Is Leaking Water

Leaking water is one of the problems caused by dirty air filters in your air conditioner. If the filter is clogged, the appliance may freeze and leak water as the ice melts. Make sure its actually water leaking and not freon though. The silver red tape is just duct tape to keep the air in your system and is fine. Beware if your vehicle leaks water underneath when.

The first step to take if you notice water leaking from your air conditioner is to check the condition of the evaporator coil. It's located inside the air conditioner's indoor unit and looks like a coiled. That sounds like a real hassle with your midea u shaped ac unit. I haven't personally dealt with that model, but it seems like a serious issue with the drainage. Maybe check if there's any.
