Two faults dominate window units, and neither is really a fault. A dirty filter or a matted condenser coil cuts capacity badly, and a unit that is not tilted slightly toward the outside drips indoors because the condensate cannot run away.
Owners can unplug the unit, wash the filter and check the tilt. A fan that runs with no cooling points at the compressor or the sealed system, and on a small window unit that usually means replacement rather than repair, which an honest technician will tell you before charging for a diagnosis.
