If it is dripping outside then it's fine and working properly. If water isn't dripping from the outside clean out the drain pipe. Water condenses. If it is dripping inside check the filter. A clogged filter can be to blame. (experience: ceiling got wet and collapsed from an overflowing drip pan) If changing the filter doesn't work call a repair man and turn off the a/c. An air filter needs to be changed at least every three to four months. I have to change my air filter about every two months because we are close to a major interstate and it gets full of road dust along with other normal dirt and dust from the house.

I've had personal experience with a couple Whirlpool window A/Cs that worked fine, they just didn't drip. According to the sales info at the time, they were designed to sling the water so efficiently that the condensate evaporated before there was enough to drip out. All window A/Cs need to have some water in the bottom of the cabinet, in order for the slinger to have something to sling. That's why you aren't supposed to tip them when you install them. They are much more efficient if installed level. So if all is working well & you have the unit level, it should be okay. Though I'll bet when the hot & humid days of mid-summer arrive, that unit will be peeing like a drunk sailor.

a/c's have normal condensation inside that happens on the inside part of the air conditioner. if its dripping inside the house it needs to be checked out. if its a window unit, just tilting it back slightly will fix it up. if its a central air unit it should have a drain line going outside.

The condensation line is stopped up, A 3/4 pvc pipe that is attached to the Evaporator. If you have a small compressor, It can easily be blown out. IM if you want to fix it yourself.

It could also be your overflow pan... check it to make sure it isn't ready to overflow and cause a huge mess.
Ours overflowed in our last house because we had no idea where it was located. At 3am the ceiling in our bathroom came crashing down and it was due to the overflow pan overflowing.
So be on the safe side and check it out.

aside from the obvious. i had water blowing in from my window air. it was caused by dirt and grime build up on the outer coils. i took it apart and power washed it after that it was cured. also check for a pluged drain tube.

IT'S PULLING HUMIDITY OUT OT THE AIR IN YOUR HOME... VERY OK UNLESS IT'S DRIPPING INSIDE AND NOT OUT.
