Water not draining right
Posted: Fri Jun 06, 2008 6:55 pm
I had a Colman furnace replaced last year with a Nor dyne unit.
I put the A-coil from the Coleman into the nor dyne. Had the system recharged. The a/c works great.
My problem seems to be that the a-coil pan isn't draining properly. I'm getting water on the front side of the furnace. When I had the coil out, I cleaned the coil and drip pan. The drip pan has no holes and the ell that attaches the tube to the pan is new.
I asked a local HVAC guy and he said I may have a slight vacuum inside the coil box that's not letting the water drain. He said to fix this I should install a p-trap. Also mentioned to watch the pipe with the a/c running to see if I can see water running out. Then shut the unit off and see if it drains then.
Does this make any sense?
