evaporator Drain Pan Removal - Ceiling Mounted Models

Note: Model numbers ending with the letter "A"

Remove the drain pan retainer that is located near the end of the drain pan opposite the drain tube. It is

secured by a thumbscrew. Release the drain tube stub from the drain discharge tube and remove the pan. On

freezer models, a drain pan heater is secured to the drain pan bottom by short brackets. Only a slight effort is

required to release the heater element from the brackets. When replacing the drain pan, make sure that the drain

pan stub is properly connected to the drain discharge tube. When replacing the drain pan, the drain tube must be

siliconed to prevent water leakage.

Note: Model numbers ending with the letter "B"

Remove the four screws holding the evaporator coil in place and lift out of cowl. Support coil on edge of cowl.

Remove drain tube retaining washer and push tube into pan and remove. Remove screws holding pan and

remove. If pan heater is present, open tabs and remove. Replace pan in reverse order and silicone drain tube,

pan corners and perimeter before replacing coil. Apply silicone where copper tubes exit coil.

Hot Gas Vaporizer Pan

Condensate from the evaporator pan is discharged into a hot gas vaporizer pan, which is located in the

condensing unit housing. Here the hot discharge gas from the compressor elevates the temperature of the water

and it vaporizes into the atmosphere. This pan should be cleaned periodically to remove solids that remain after

the moisture is evaporated.
