How to Fix an Air Conditioner | Clogged Drain Line

On this service call the customer called me out for the air conditioner not coming on. Once I got there I found the indoor blower was running but the condensing unit would not come on. After diagnosing the condensing unit I found that 24 volts was not present at the ac contactor. Once this was found I went up to the furnace in the attic and found that the secondary drain pan was full of water and had tripped the float switch.

 I found the reason for the water in the pan was that the air conditioning drain line was clogged. After clearing the clog in the drain line and vacuuming the water from the pan I reset power to the furnace.

Once the repair was complete the condensing unit came on and ran fine. I checked the freon and temperature drop to the air conditioner and all was within proper ranges. Another happy customer glad to have their air conditioner up and running again!
