Without being there...........
..........I'd say the coil is dirty........
..............causing a restriction in air-flow.

Which is allowing the excessive air-flow pressure to blow the water off the
coil.
(being you say the drain is clean)

Get a competent tech to clean the coil and check the refrigerate charge.
(not just pressures.............they need to check the SH & SC)
As someone may have put some refrigerate in it to keep it from freezing.
(at some point..........as the coil got dirty)

I really hope someone will be able to help me here; I own a 99 Oakwood
home with a Intertherm/Nordyne HVAC unit. The coils of the unit are in
an 'A' configuration and sit in a plastic tray which rests over the
blower cabinet. Ostensibly, this is to catch the condensate and drain
it away via a hose which leads outside. This part of it works fine and
I have cleared the hose more than once.
The problem I have is this; A lot of the water doesn't reach the
drain hose. Instead, it leaks down into and onto the blower equipment
below. This has led to the sequencer and the cicuit breaker shorting
out and they have been replaced. The repairman told me that the drain
had gotten clogged, but that is not the case now. The water seems to
be coming from some other part of the tray. Before I get another
serviceman out here to tell me, "Your drain hose was clogged. That'll
be $xx.xx." I would like to know if there is another cause and better
still, if there is something 'I' can do about it without having to
dismantle the entire cooling system.

Well...since we deal with this about once a week in a setup like yours,
offer a few suggestions...

did the last service tech seal the pan to the blower compartment with either
a foam tape that is applied to the top of the blower that the A coil
assembly sets on, or with a good quality metal tape around the sides, or a
combination of both?

did the last service tech insure that after he cleaned the drain, that the
coil blower and coil had a slight tilt towards the drain? Did he put a level
on it? Was it dead level? IF it was, its should NOT be on those..

Does your system have a proper condensate trap on the drain line? If not, it
needs one, or the unit, IF sealed properly, might not be draining until the
unit shuts down and you are getting water not so much leaking, but being
pulled into the works..

Did they speed the fan up trying to get better air flow, instead of properly
balancing your single duct line? In other words....has someone put that
sucker on high, and opened all your vents in the triler? If so, its all
wrong, and you are not getting the cooling you need, and should have...and
the air flow could be such that the condensate is being literally stripped
off the coil before it can flow into the pan.


Those are normally plastic pans in the coil assembly, and under normal
circumstances, you will need to replace the coil long before the pan gives
you any trouble. IF the rear or front of the A coils covers have rusted out,
its possible that the coil is getting water pulled over the lip of the pan
that way...

I have seen these pans crack in the center where the injection molding
circles are. Don't try to repair it because it will recrack. Replace the
coil.

I have to admit..other than the way you present what you call photos, I
cant
see ****...just lots of glare..
A very cheap POS case, and some OmegaFlex..

That line, is called a suction line, btw...thought you might want to at
least know what its called, even if you dont know why its got condensation
on it..

I know it's condensation but if I want to call it a leak since that is
what it's actually doing in the end, when it drips into the opening and then
LEAKS into the plenum, which is actually just wood from frame of the house
where the old return used to be , before this unit was put in and changed to
a down draft or whatever.

To help with glare turn down your brightness on moniter , it's the setting
that resembles a sun with a minus sign on one side and a plus sign on the
other..........

And do it now, or he'll sue.

Regardless of the fact that his suggestion is meaningless
bull****.

Geez, I love the part about how you're going to sue the
builder and his brother and everyone else you ever met for "UNSAFE
CONDITIONS(CONSTRUCTION DUST)" and "SLANDEROUS STATEMENTS"

http://homemyhome.com/sue.html

And you're going to sue, including the AC contractor (s):

ARE THERE ANY LAWYERS IN TOWN THAT DO NOT HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST
WITH
THE CITY,
AIRPORT,
CINNABAR ,
WOOD SYSTEMS ,
TERRELL HEATING AND AIR,
HORIZON PAINTING ,
WOOD & IRON FABRICATORS AND
WHITE CONSTRUCTION , MILL CREEK?

Among your complaints :

"A copper tube that connects to blower unit from outside a/c unit
gurgles when a/c is turned on."

"2nd is I can hear my neighbors a/c unit when it's running."

" 3rd is the sound of dripping rain vibrating through the sheetrock ,
(this was with ear against the wall, might not count)"

"4th was still hearing the fireworks going off at driller's stadium
tonight."

"They did the cleaning but didn't let the Maids finish on Monday "

"Maybe soon I can get the floor moulding or is it called trim,
whatever it is I want it pulled off and walls/doors/window areas
behind it finished "

"To the Terrell worker who likes the F word, if you shut the opening
for underneath the house the dogs won't do that under there also if
someone calls the dog catcher again tomorrow because of my dogs being
out you will pay to get them out since you can't shut the gate."

"The rules where broken by only having one sub-contracter here by
themself"

"Work was finally done to fix leaks, they tried anyway. Terrell was 42
minutes late"

"Whortman Air has an ad out talking about refrigarent 22 being banned
in 2008 I believe. Combine this with the minimum Seer rating going to
12 in a couple years too gives a double whamy on the units being
installed for the project.We sign rights away for a livetime and they
give us an A/C systems which will be obsolete in a few years."


Ok maybe I've gone overboard here and there , hey another item to sue about
, making me go looney after more than 8 months of this...... lol

Wait I'm not the only looney , you actually took the time to look at it
that much................

I love reading this , it's been fun and I take it you had a rough day.PJM is
at least funnier than you. Did you miss this page
http://homemyhome.com/id45.html it shows what was found by another company
on the work done.It took 6 months to get this far and another 2 months for
them to come back out to caulk instead of making an actual chamber .This
area is about 4' long 2' wide and 2' tall . Wouldn't it make more sense for
the air to go thru a chamber of some sort instead of filling up this area
before making it into the 2 main ducts? At least it wouldn't leak (excuse
the use of that word) air through the wall and cracks and out the baseboard.
Yes I bitch , yes some is petty .No I didn't wait till work was
stopped to complain. Yes the companies know of the web site, they will not
sue me because then it will become more public and you can't win a suit on
slander if it's true. Sorry for the offense you took for pokeing fun at you
.. If you get that upset about it don't dish it out. Why is it when a regular
on a newsgroup doesn't like a post grammer always becomes an issue? After
the condensation leaves it's location of origin and drips to a flat area
then goes down an open hole would it not then become a leak. It could be
called draining I suppose but wouldn't it need to be a drain hole to say
it's draining and not leaking?
Yes it's the same site and it's been up since December just new rework was
done recently and you would have to live in this neighborhood to really
understand it all and my neighbors feel the same about thier houses.
Excuse not posting this below, I didn't feel like it . Just sue
me......lol

They must have...if sound insulation would exceed 50% of the value of your

Just a few thought genuis..

1- On your rumors page, its HIRE....not higher..

2- What are your qualifications to determine what is an unsafe condition?
Are you licenced and bonded with the State of OK as an inspector?

3- Oh screw it...I could go on, but I am afraid that it might be beyond

Well...since we deal with this about once a week in a setup
like
yours,
offer a few suggestions...

did the last service tech seal the pan to the blower compartment
with
either
a foam tape that is applied to the top of the blower that the A
coil
assembly sets on, or with a good quality metal tape around the
sides,
or
a
combination of both?

did the last service tech insure that after he cleaned the
drain,
that
the
coil blower and coil had a slight tilt towards the drain? Did he
put
a
level
on it? Was it dead level? IF it was, its should NOT be on
those..

Does your system have a proper condensate trap on the drain
line?
If

not,
it
needs one, or the unit, IF sealed properly, might not be
draining
until
the
unit shuts down and you are getting water not so much leaking,
but
being
pulled into the works..

Did they speed the fan up trying to get better air flow, instead
of
properly
balancing your single duct line? In other words....has someone
put
that
sucker on high, and opened all your vents in the triler? If so,
its
all
wrong, and you are not getting the cooling you need, and should
have...and
the air flow could be such that the condensate is being
literally
stripped
off the coil before it can flow into the pan.


Those are normally plastic pans in the coil assembly, and under
normal
circumstances, you will need to replace the coil long before the
pan
gives
you any trouble. IF the rear or front of the A coils covers have
rusted
out,
its possible that the coil is getting water pulled over the lip
of
the
pan
that way...

Geez, I love the part about how you're going to sue the
builder and his brother and everyone else you ever met for "UNSAFE
CONDITIONS(CONSTRUCTION DUST)" and "SLANDEROUS STATEMENTS"

http://homemyhome.com/sue.html

And you're going to sue, including the AC contractor (s):

THE CITY,
AIRPORT,
CINNABAR ,

Among your complaints :

"A copper tube that connects to blower unit from outside a/c unit
gurgles when a/c is turned on."


Well...DUH...

Loudly in the hallway is normal?



"2nd is I can hear my neighbors a/c unit when it's running."

I cant hear mine....but then, they cant hear mine either...its nice and
quiet...LOL


" 3rd is the sound of dripping rain vibrating through the sheetrock ,
(this was with ear against the wall, might not count)"

I missed THAT one...hilarious...


"4th was still hearing the fireworks going off at driller's stadium
tonight."

Fireworks....NOT a 737..LOL


5 miiles away


"They did the cleaning but didn't let the Maids finish on Monday "


LOL..

another that you had to be here



"Maybe soon I can get the floor moulding or is it called trim,
whatever it is I want it pulled off and walls/doors/window areas
behind it finished "

Demanding little redneck aint he?



"To the Terrell worker who likes the F word, if you shut the opening
for underneath the house the dogs won't do that under there also if
someone calls the dog catcher again tomorrow because of my dogs being
out you will pay to get them out since you can't shut the gate."



Different time period , they would not shut crawl space entrance when they
left for the day. Dogs pulled on insullation on ducts that was hanging down
since they used staples to hold insulation so it left pieces dangling and
tempting to a young dog. I have accepted the actions of my dogs even though
they would not have gotten under there had they closed the opening.I can't
close it when they leave if I'm at work

I think he said someplace, that he took responsibility for his dogs under
the home...I mean..I own a couple, and they are MY responsibility..if I
know
the basements open, and I dont want them in the basement, I make sure they
cant get there...sheeeesh...
Common sense lacking in OK...


"The rules where broken by only having one sub-contracter here by
themself"

HUH??

Another one you have to be here to understand. They have a written
guidelines for the project . One day my neighbor came home and found a
worker in his son's bed sleeping.



"Work was finally done to fix leaks, they tried anyway. Terrell was 42
minutes late"

Holy Crap Batman...do each and every job with a stopwatch...
Forget lunch man...you got to PEE??? DAMMIT man..hes got a STOPWATCH!!!!!


I had to wait 2 months for this day and was missing work and the
contractor for this house was not happy either about them being late . It's
not hard to make an 8 am appointment


"Whortman Air has an ad out talking about refrigarent 22 being banned
in 2008 I believe. Combine this with the minimum Seer rating going to
12 in a couple years too gives a double whamy on the units being
installed for the project.We sign rights away for a livetime and they
give us an A/C systems which will be obsolete in a few years."


Idiot...
To think some believe this..

Not True?

I really hope someone will be able to help me here; I own a 99
Oakwood
home with a Intertherm/Nordyne HVAC unit. The coils of the unit
are
in
an 'A' configuration and sit in a plastic tray which rests over
the
blower cabinet. Ostensibly, this is to catch the condensate and
drain
it away via a hose which leads outside.

That part we all know..its a standard slap in...the way that
Oakwood
and
every other mobile home maker wanted that used that crappy Nordyne
set
up.


This part of it works fine and
I have cleared the hose more than once.
The problem I have is this; A lot of the water doesn't reach the
drain hose. Instead, it leaks down into and onto the blower
equipment
below. This has led to the sequencer and the cicuit breaker
shorting
out and they have been replaced. The repairman told me that the
drain
had gotten clogged, but that is not the case now. The water seems
to
be coming from some other part of the tray. Before I get another
serviceman out here to tell me, "Your drain hose was clogged.
That'll
be $xx.xx." I would like to know if there is another cause and
better
still, if there is something 'I' can do about it without having
to
dismantle the entire cooling system.
Thanks in advance,

Well...since we deal with this about once a week in a setup like
yours,
offer a few suggestions...

did the last service tech seal the pan to the blower compartment
with
either
a foam tape that is applied to the top of the blower that the A
coil
assembly sets on, or with a good quality metal tape around the
sides,
or
a
combination of both?

did the last service tech insure that after he cleaned the drain,
that
the
coil blower and coil had a slight tilt towards the drain? Did he
put
a
level
on it? Was it dead level? IF it was, its should NOT be on those..

LEAKS into the plenum, which is actually just wood from frame of the house

a down draft or whatever.

Wow, A warm air "supply" plenum...............made of wood????

Now that's gotta be a nice job! :-)

No, there are Hacks as building contractors too.
