I’m getting an E5 error displayed on my SLPAC805W portable a/c unit. It will turn on and kick the compressor on and everything but it runs for about 10 seconds then turns off and displays E5 on the screen. I’ve looked and I can not find anything about an E5 on my unit anywhere. I’ve looked for an hour. I just bought it last summer and it has been perfect until a couple hours ago it just cut off and now has the error.
"E5" on the screen. The error code means that the unit needs to be drained by a drain port at the back.
My ac gets turned off automatically and doesn’t even turn back on. I have tried using the timer button but no success
It should not be shutting off automatically

Reviews
Reliable Backup AC
"A few years ago the AC in the front room went out so I bought one of these. I started to sell it but I thought now I may need it again. I used it last week when the front unit went out"

Slow but effective
"Why did you pick this product vs others?: Once you get over setting up the window kit, it's not bad. It does take forever to cool a 300 ft. ² area."

Effective cooling solution
"Initial review: we got these units as supplements to our central air in Phoenix. It does a great job in cooling down our sleeping rooms where the central air just isn't able to cool those areas very well. I made some modification when setting up the window hot air exhaust hose. - you will probably need an additional window kit. Our vertical window was too large and our smaller winders were too small for the kit that came with the units. Too bad because they seemed like good quality items. - to add stability for the exhaust plate block In the window, I cut some cardboard, rolled it up into a round long piece, wrapped it in duct tape and wedged it between the window and the plate. This keeps the exhaust plate my more sturdy in the window. - on my vertical window, to keep it from sliding open at all (unlikely to happen but still) I had some suction cups that screw onto the window and increase the suction grip as you screw. I placed three of these along the window and now they won't open at all. - to create some more insulation at the exhaust plate, I cut a piece of cardboard to the plate and then bought some foam insulation and glued it to the cardboard. Now just place that in the window behind the exhaust plate to prevent more hot air from coming in."

Great Cooling, Awkward Window Kit
"I purchased this air conditioning last year for my apartment's loft bedroom which is at the highest point of the building and has a sloped ceiling and therefore gets very hot and stuffy in the summer. Setting it up was fairly quick and easy and it does a great job at lowering the temperature and removing the humidity in the room in a short time. The only reason I can't give it five stars is because of the window kit - the extensions made the piece way too long for my window. I ended up cutting a piece of styrofoam and sliding that into the end of the main piece and then using duct tape to hold all of it in place. The plastic pieces are not constructed in a way that you can push them down and have them straddle the bottom of the window. Instead you need to balance it on top, close the window, and then tape everything so it holds. At least, this was the best way I found of doing it. I may look into a universal window kit. I didn't think it was any louder than a standard in-the-window/wall A/C unit. I got used to the noise right away (it's really only noisy when the compressor kicks in) and it totally acts as white noise to block out sounds from neighbors. You will need a decent sized bucket for the drain hose especially on humid days/evenings because it pulls a ton of water from the air, even in a smaller room. But the inconvenience of emptying a water bucket every day is totally worth it to have a cool room to sleep in during the summer. And the cat loves it, too!"

Essential Hurricane Relief for Comfort
"This works so much better than I expected. We still have Air conditioning and power issues from the summer hurricanes this year. This unit cools and dehumidifies our house enough to be more than just comfortable, but actually cold sometimes. It covers a good amount of square footage, we have a small 1200 sq ft south Florida home and it works for us when needed. Perfect for anyone in a storm area that loses power and needs a/c. This and a generator is the difference between tolerable and not after the storm during hurricane season. Very satisfied so far."
— William (5/5)
