Soleus LX-140 Is Leaking

If your Soleus LX-140 portable air conditioner is leaking water, it may become necessary for you to empty the unit's emergency condensate holding tank. If the indoor humidity of the room the unit is located is high but the room temperature is low, then the LX-140 may not be able to evaporate built-up moisture fast enough. In this case, the moisture will be stored in the condensate holding tank. If left to fill completely, this moisture can spill over onto the flooring underneath the LX-140.
