English term or phrase: becomes inferior
Hola colegas: estoy traduciendo el manual de instrucciones de un aire acondicionado y no puedo traducir esta frase sin que suene literal: becomes inferior


The quality of unit not only becomes inferior but there is a possibility of the water drain.
La calidad de la unidad no solo ----------------- sino que existe la posibilidad de drenaje de agua.

Context:
Check installation work and ground wire work.
If the gas leakage occurs, the unit quality not only becomes inferior but affects environment.
Repair it as quickly as possible.
The resin portion cracks after a few months and it may cause water drain.
Since there is a possibility of water drain, repair the 11 drain pipe if the drain failure or water drain occurs.
The quality of unit not only becomes inferior but there is a possibility of the water drain.

Explanation:
Como dice Neil en la discusión, esta es una MT de otro idioma a inglés totalmente desacertada. Voy a ponerme la capa de intérprete para ofrecer algo con mas sentido.

Cuando se escapa el gas de un sistema de acondionamiento de aire, éste deja de ser frío; aparte, si ese gas va al interior del ambiente, se va a sentir el olor, y al no funcionar el sistema de compresión, va a aparece la condensación del agua que se menciona.

Tratando de mejorar la frase, diría: Si hay un escape del gas, no solo desmejorará el funcionamiento de la unidad, sino que también se afectará el ambiente para "If the gas leakage occurs, the unit quality not only becomes inferior but affects environment" y No solo desmejorará la calidad del enfriamiento sino que también existe la posibilidad de observar condensación de agua para "The quality of unit not only becomes inferior but there is a possibility of the water drain."
