Hi all, we have an LG Inverter V, about 4 years old, that is leaking water out of the indoor unit. We had a maintenance person in who both washed out the unit, and as well suctioned out the outside hose, and then sprayed water from unit down through it and seemed to flow OK. But we still have water dripping out of head unit towards the left side (hose seems to ext out on right side).

Gonna try to attach a pic, which seems to show the water travelling down from behind the blower/fan.

The maintenance company believes its probably a faulty/cracked drip tray, and based on the cost of disassembling/repairing it, they are recommending a new unit at the cost of about $1k (Canadian)...

Is the tray (and hose) hidden somewhere above the blower? Other than the hose exiting into the wall on the right side, I cannot see it in the unit itself, assume I have to disassemble (again, more than the units I see on youtube where the hose is just laying along the bottom.

Is there anything else I can try once I'm looking at replacing it anyway? My model doesn't seem to disassemble quite as easy as some I've seen on youtube and I can't find anything online specific to my model (either vids, or even diagrams).

Appreciate any advice!

It’s something to do with condense either the units drain pan is blocked / dirty or the drain isn’t draining

Bit of a long video here, but I'm really hoping someone can help. We clearly need to get someone in to fix the leak, but meanwhile I'm concerned where all the water is going to. There is no water damage in the surrounding area. Walls and floor seem perfectly fine. I can't work out where the...
