A/C condensation problem

The way I read this is there is moisture coming from the cabinet, and isn't going down the condensate tubing where it is supposed to. This could be because there is ice inside the unit. I know that the Carrier Infinity is susceptible to icing. Made worse if you try to lower the humidity. Remove a side panel and look inside at the coils. If so, the solution is to shut off the unit until all the ice has melted. A fan can speed it up. Or turn the heat on.

The drain goes outside, but the water is showing up in the hallway. That led Me to the A/C cabinet right next to the wet carpet area. I'll work on this today when I get time. I have to refi a house I inherited in Sun City today, so that will keep Me busy most of the day. Thanks!

Thanks Don. I'm sure it's a clogged coil, so I'll get to this later this evening. Thanks for your input!

That cap has always been there, so I really don't know. I'll remove the cap after researching the reason for this cap.

Not enough information in your picture. We now know it's a 70% efficiency furnace, probably natural gas. There should be a white drain line from the pan. If there is a tee coupling and open top tube, try some hot water from the sink, mix in a splash of bleach. Pour into the top of the open tube with a funnel. Some times hot and bleach will clear a drain line.

If that doesn't do the trick, I'd be tempted to use a wet type shop vac with a fucknozzle. Vacuum for thirty seconds or so at the open top white PVC tube. Wrap a rag or your hand around the fucknozzle, so all the vacuum goes into the white PVC tube.

It's OK to use the fucknozzle, and then pour hot water and bleach after vacuuming.

Please let us know how this works, for you.

The problem with blowing compressed air into the white PVC, you might blow some crud farther into the evaporator coil. I'd save that for a couple days from now if the fucknozzle doesn't do the job.

Ideally with a shop vac, you collect up the blockage into the shop vac. Good idea to wash out the shop vac, and dump the blockage outdoors or into the toilet.

A little bit of pool bleach into the open top of the tube sounds good. Might make the house smell like pool.

I saw your second photo, which viewed the white PVC.

Even more ideal than fucknozzle on the top of the open PVC, a good fucknozzle on the far end of the white PVC (where it goes into the drain) is great idea.

And an ounce or two of pool chlorine in the top open end is a good idea. Use a fuckfunnel.

This week they are 40% off, at Harbor Freight, with coupon and $4.99 purchase.

Eagle, that's some thing else to check. At the oudoor unit, is there frost or ice on the larger copper tube that goes to the house?

Is there good air flow coming out of the registers in the house?

Good idea Stormy. Maybe a friend will drop off a fuckfunnel at My door today like the fucknozzle was?

Secondary "emergency" drain. Described in one of my other posts. Not necessary to remove. Just get your fucknozzle out, and clear out the existing drain.

The problem is likely a clog in the white PVC. A few seconds with a wet vac and fucknozzle should do.

There is a small chance the clog is in the metal case. If the fucknozzle from out doors does not stop the drip, please cap the open stub of white PVC (duct tape, cork, or have a helper put finger or hand tightly over the hole). Do the vacuum fucknozzle with the white open top closed. That will help fucknozzle out the evaporator coil. Well, what the heck. Tape it and do the vacuum the first time. Remove the tape or your helper's hand after the vacuum. Have your helper remove hand from the tube, do not remove your helper's hand from his arm, and do not discard your helper's hand.

Not to mention the toilet as well. I'm used to the pool smell, as well as the 86 degree water in the spa, and 82 degree water in the pool. I need a TV out here...

I try not to shop at Harbor Fright. The last thing I bought from Harbor Frieght was a 18 volt drill. It lasted less than 2 hours before the plastic case broke apart. I try to stick with name brand tools now.

Good thing My 'friend' is female... :D

The outdoor evap unit was repaired two years ago, and the big capacitor was replaced at that time. The copper line was not frozen, or had any ice buildup. The house gets cool and comfortable, so no worries about that unit. :D
