M1GB 056A BW Furnace/AC unit leaking water
Posted: Thu Aug 11, 2011 1:37 am
I don't know if the subject provides enough info, but it is all I could find at the moment.
As mentioned, my unit is leaking water when the A/C is running. This has only been occurring, or at least visibly occurring, for the last week or so. Although, the amount of water soaked clothing from the floor of my closet may say otherwise.
The unit is just over 7 years old, and was new when we purchased our home. Has been doing a wonderful job, but I've noticed it has been running more & more the last few weeks. We have only had a handful of HOT days, but mostly ranging in the 80's and low 90's. We have a programmable thermostat; 68 at night & 74 during the day. I have accessed as much of it as I can, and am hoping it is only a clogged drain line, but I can't seem to see anything beyond the shell. I've read through other posts to try to get an idea, but am still at a loss. I, like one of the other posters, consider myself pretty handy around the house, but have never dealt with an A/C unit before.
I guess what I'm really looking for is tips on what I can do myself, without spending money on a service call, that is relatively easy & safe, with an emphasis on the latter.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Jamie
