I would agree with George 100%. Regardless of the reason they don't drill weep holes in the bottom part of the housing, the benefits do not seem to outweigh the rust and other problems with the tray being full of water. It makes a real mess and the paint comes off, rusts like heck. I protected the copper tubing and drilled a hole on a '02 vintage Kenmore 8500 BTU window unit. You do have to clear the hole sometimes, but its been running with a weep for 5 seasons or so now. I have replaced 1 dual capacitor in it as well. The screening will protect the (evaporator or condenser - I can never remember which one is which LOL, but the fuzz that makes a felt like cover over the outboard fin tube thing on these, will make a compressor fail if I understand these correctly.
I find that pulling the cover and cleaning these thoroughly every season is well worth it, 14 seasons later that '02 Kenmore works like it did when new.
Black mold formed in mine, I had to clean all the interior duct in it. The cause was running it cold and shutting it off, too much condensation build up, far better to run on fan awhile before a shut down or just run thermostatically so it cycles, until you don't need cooling any more.
The photo shows the small area that was clear, that was years of build up, until I wised up and took better care of it.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
