Homer City: thank you for contacting Porch. Possibly the water inlet valve is leaking, and or the ice door is not fully sealing allowing warm air inside which melts the ice, and it refreezes. Be sure the water filter is new and not clogged. Best action would be to contact Whirlpool with the model number of the unit and see what they say.

Donald: Thank you for contacting Porch. More information is needed to answer your question. We need to know the amperage draw on the label of each AC unit, then the amperage rating of the breaker for the circuit you expect to connect to. Keep in mind initial inrush amperage will be higher so don't turn both on at the same time. You might consider plugging into separate circuits to help avoid tripping a breaker. Since a breaker can be easily reset you might just try it and see if it works, if the breaker trips you know there is an issue and simply reset the breaker. ... Read more
