Yes. Make sure the unit can still be serviced. Be aware you will have allot of heat and noise coming from the unit.
When the unit cools the air, the water vapor in the air condenses to form water. If the unit is in good repair, the water is piped to a suitable place of disposal, into the ground or into a drain system.
do you have a heat pump? are you running unit in heat? if so and the steam is comming from outside unit, this is normal in the units defrost cycle
Just as a cold can of coke will bead moisture, so does the cool surfaces of the AC unit.
As the unit cools the Air, the air is less able to hold moisture. This excess moisture is Condensed into liquid water on the cooling coils (Condenser Unit). A drain pan is required to catch the dripping water and channel it away.
Have you checked it's switched on?
If the fan is working, then probably there is insufficient gas in the ac compressor.
The fan in your AC unit may not be coming on due to a faulty motor, a malfunctioning thermostat, a blown fuse, or a problem with the wiring. It is recommended to contact a professional HVAC technician to diagnose and fix the issue.
no ofcourse not water would just dry off even if it does not or does come from the AC

Although it is a good thought...it is not really practical in that the AC unit is full of bacteria which loves the stagnant water..and the water is not clean of dirt either. have you looked inside you A/C unit? Yikes!
Your AC unit may not be coming on due to a variety of reasons, such as a tripped circuit breaker, a faulty thermostat, a clogged air filter, or a malfunctioning compressor. It is recommended to check these potential issues and consult a professional if needed for further assistance.
central AC unit - sometimes after any AC unit shuts off, you might hear the refrigerant gurgling in the lines, that is normal. window AC - older AC units had water draining out of the back end of it, this is the moisture removed from the air in the room. Newer AC units usually do not have any water draining out, the water is splashed on the hot coils in the back end, where it evaporates, which helps get rid of the heat and makes the unit operate more efficiently. it is normal.
To effectively drain water from your AC unit, you can ensure that the condensate drain line is clear of any obstructions and that it is properly sloped to allow water to flow out. Additionally, you can use a wet/dry vacuum to remove any excess water from the drain pan. Regular maintenance and cleaning of the AC unit can also help prevent water buildup.
Check your thermostat
the drain hose is plugged
Common signs of a malfunctioning AC unit that may indicate a blown capacitor include the air conditioner not turning on, warm air coming from the vents, frequent cycling on and off, strange noises coming from the unit, and a noticeable decrease in cooling efficiency.
