You can not fix a leak in a coil. I fixed one coil in 10 years and it's because it was brand new and I put a screw in it. I am a seasoned brazer with years of experience, your coil can not be repaired, it needs replaced. Hopefully it's under warranty, that's $500-700 vs $1500-1700 approximately.

SOURCE: condensate leaking on passenger side from ac

The drain tube from the evaporator housing is most likely plugged up. With the vehicle in the air locate the drain tube on the passenger side of the firewall and using coat hanging or something similar carefully snake it through it Be careful as a lot of water may pour out and don't go crazy poking with the coat hanging as the evaporator core is at the other end of the tube.

SOURCE: location of ac condensate drain , it's plugged and

The weep drain is located on the left and right sides of the firewall and you may see a rubber tube sometimes, and hear a sloshing of water building up, unless, it's all leaking onto your floor.

What are the common AC Repairs?

An air conditioner system has many working parts that have to be kept well maintained for it to function properly. Even with good maintenance, an air conditioner may still malfunction over a period of time. Here are some of the common air conditioner related issues and how to fix them:

Drainage issues - condensation produced during the cooling process needs to exit the system. To handle moisture flow, an AC has a condensate drip plan and drain line. If damaged, obstructed, or clogged with algae, these components may malfunction causing moisture to back up and cause humidity issues and possibly cause more serious damages. A qualified technician from www.temptechnical.co.uk is able to repair components and also clear any clogs.

Refrigerant leaks - Refrigerant lines can get damaged and cause a refrigerant spill that will cause less pressure towards the cooling process. An Air conditioning in Tonbridge company technician can find the leak source and fix it to stop further damage.

Freezing condenser coils - Frozen condenser coils prevents your AC unit from cooling. Your technician will be able to diagnose the problem and fix it to allow continued smooth cooling process.

Bryant condenser not running.

Check that there's power available (open or tripped breaker or disconnect). If there's power available, check for 24-28 volts feeding the contactor coil. The low refrigerant cut-out may have tripped the 24v (leak). The pressure cut-out may have tripped (dirty condenser coil, inoperable condenser fan motor). If there's 24 volts at the contactor coil, check the capacitor before ohming the motor. A defective run capacitor will shut the compressor down.

Where is the drain pan on a carrier weathermaker 8000?

Hello, the drain line will be located under the unit near the condenser coil. Sometimes it can get blocked and the condensate will settle toward the front of the unit and leak from the unit. Also, make sure the unit is tilted back in the window about a 1/4 inch aswell.

My rudd uaka 037JAZ leaks, like to replace just AC and not coil and furnace motor. Replacement suggestion for this unit? Homeowener George

Hello, it depends where the unit is leaking from, if it is leaking from the condensing unit then you can just replace the condenser, however if it is leaking from the evaporator coil then you will need to replace the evaporater. As far as brand for replacement I like rheem equipment. The best thing to do is have a hvac technician come out and give you a estimate on a new AC and then you can make a decision.

Too much condensation

I have never heard of "too much" condensation. The condensation is the the moisture that is being removed from the home. If the home is very humid and its common for alot of condesation to be removed from the coil. As long as the coil is not freezing up, you are good to go.

Furnace is leaking water

This is not a lot to go on.

I assume since you called it a furnace, you have hot air heat and central air conditioning. If so, the only way a furnace/AC unit can generate water is by condensing moisture from the air. This is common to all air conditioning and removes humidity from your home. If so, this water, called condensate, must drain. The condensate is collected at the AC cooling coil that is typically located on top of a vertical upflow furnace or downstream of a horizontal furnace. If the drain is clogged, it will overflow and create a mess in and around the furnace. If this is your problem, cleaning and clearing debris may solve the issue. I suggest starting with the easiest accessable part of the drain path. You may need to open the panels enclosing the AC coil and clean the small pans at the bottom of the coil and clear openings from above that look similar to a laundry tub drain. If you get that far and find rust holes in the pan, repairs are needed. If you have an electric condensate pump that may also be the cuprit and require cleaning. Check and clear all drain lines from the coil connection to the final dicharge - sump pit or outside.
