I have an central A/C condenser unit in the basement that is sweating

Currently, I have turned off the A/C and just running the blower fan.


It is normal for a condensor to gather water from the air. *It'll have a drain
and that is where your problem lies.


The condensor is outside, the evaporator is in the basement/
furnace!!!!!



My bad. It is the evaporator in the basement and located above the
furnace. There is a PVC drain, and I checked that there is water
flowing through the pipe to the outdoors. The outside of the
evaporator is cold, wet and dripping on all sides when the A/C is
turned on.
