Yes, but it should be dripping outside. Make sure the window unit is angled downward outside.

Most window air conditioners on the market today are made to be as efficient as possible. This requires them to use the condensate water (the water collected on the cold evaporator coils) to help in the cooling of the condenser coils ( the outside coils that get hot) by first just laying in the bottom tray of the unit where there are a couple runs of tubing (condenser loop) that get cooled by the water. There is also a sump (a small depression in the bottom tray) that is directly under the condenser fan blade. The fan blade has a ring fastened to the edges of the blades called a slinger ring. This ring goes into the water in the sump and as the fan blade turns it lifts some water up and the water is blown in a fine mist through the condenser coils helping to cool the coils off. Only if there is very high humidity you may have some dripping. The water is never used to spray back into the room as one "expert" may have you believe because the secondary function of an air conditioner is to dehumidify the cool room air.

The water removed by the air conditioner has to go somewhere. There are some units, typically used in Hotels. A through the wall unit that have an evaporation pan on them and most of the time they won't drip the water is evaporated by the heat from the outside (condenser coil). However, under certain conditions you may will drip.

EVERYONE of you is wrong!!! many companies are making AC units that are sealed and the condensation is contained and used to cool the internal workings of the AC unit!! they have no drain holes!! some of the moisture is then blown back into the room helping keep the humidity at a stable level!! Know what you are talking about before making stupid answers!!

yes they do as they draw the humidity out of your house and the air conditioner is put in right it should drip on the outside to rid its self of the moisture it is pulling out of the house.

Yes, because it is taking moister out of the air. Moist air, even when cooled, does not feel cool to the skin. Unfortunately, window AC cost more to run. What is needed is a remote thermostat.

Wha? You want the water to drip on the inside? This is normal. That's just condensation.

it depends on where it is placed. If it is placed in a humid place, condensation may drip from it.

Yes they all do. That's how they all work.
