panasonic and carrier used same fan motors...n carrier parts expensive no ass!EFFECTIC DESIGNS wrote:Yeah she call a fella and he came and said he can't find a fan motor for it and he ended up recommending that she buy a new unit from him
She took the bait and ended up buying a new AC from the man yes. Funny thing is the fella took the Panasonic AC from she for free, he say he go dump it for she. I highly doubt he dump that

wayyz..I that's some serious scam! that's why it's best to bring in your in thing from authentic sources. I rather bring a/c from Japan or Malaysia...costs more but it yuh could still be competitive in the prices.nervewrecker wrote:Have men bringing their own thing. I know one. He also buys from wilog.

Have brand new units I saw supplied (not from wilog) to a company and when they started failing all had compressors that weren't what they come with. So makes you wonder.

I'm looking for a 24,000btu since that's the size I currently have and it cools well for my size of room.nervewrecker wrote:Ge may be the cheapest on the market.
After that maybe delta but im not sure if they have.
What size you looking for?
What went wrong with the GE btw?
I have repaired drain pans before. Never had an issue.stealth wrote:I'm looking for a 24,000btu since that's the size I currently have and it cools well for my size of room.nervewrecker wrote:Ge may be the cheapest on the market.

And the problem I'm having is almost every two weeks I have to call a technician because water is coming from the front. Yes I know that's a common problem, but the unit is only two years old and it worked perfectly for about 14months. Then, it started to leak every couple months then more and more often.
Nothing is clogged, but the technician said there was a crack in the drain pan or something which he repaired. But now its happening more and more so I wanna replace it.
I dont know if it is an installation issue, but I doubt because the problem wasn't there before and now its persistent

You sure is not the pipe not properly run? Some men seem to not know about that and not care to rectify it.
check the insulation..maybe it's exposed or the drain line has a puncture. it could be bad gradient or the line but I doubt because u said u didn't have that problem b4..Rovin's Audio wrote:nervewrecker wrote:I have repaired drain pans before.

i like to read\learn from stuff u guys posting here & i not a ac tech by any means but what i see described here i went thru dat experience with 2 of my own units
apart from not cleaning when badly needed : 2 things solved d problem , sometimes ac men install d evaporator "too level" so of course water will quicker go towards whichever side sloping more , do tilt it slightly towards d side with drain plug
2nd fix : d drain pipe coming out d evaporator wasnt sloped with enough pitch so d water wasnt draining out fast enough , tried sloping it a bit steeper & problem solved .... this worked in my case
yea yuh right! the back drain maybe clogged...so dem cya watch to see where it leaking from? steups.nervewrecker wrote:Could be the back drain pan that most men dont even know exist. And when they keep putting down their half ass service and thing get stink they hide.
I used bleach before, just pour a few capfulls into the drip tray and voila but if this solves it then check that hole they put in your wall to pass connections thru. That hole should be sealed with either cement or expanding foam. If IT isn't then you know what to do.EFFECTIC DESIGNS wrote:Another reason there is dripping inside your room is because the HOSE that goes from the AC to the outside is actually clogged with gunk and moss I have had instances where I tried everything imaginable and the real culprit was actually the hose, I had to remove the pvc line and take a long wire and shove it up and pull out the gunk.
One way you can know is by how little water is sent outside through the drain from the AC, if it dripping real slow on a humid day then yeah it clog
No it shouldnt.pjfred wrote:I used bleach before, just pour a few capfulls into the drip tray and voila but if this solves it then check that hole they put in your wall to pass connections thru.

I does use a piece of 2" pipe as a sleeve in the wall so you could plaster it and still be able to take out the evaporator afterwards.nervewrecker wrote:No it shouldnt.pjfred wrote:I used bleach before, just pour a few capfulls into the drip tray and voila but if this solves it then check that hole they put in your wall to pass connections thru.

Should an instance arise where the evap needs to be taken out to do a complete or the drain line flushed, it cannot be done.
Better to fill it with something that can be removed like plastic.
Dont know why ED drain line clogged. Flushed drain line is part of a service. OEG offshore thought I was racking up only to realize I making sure the line free. Level stuff came out. They don't even question my work or abilities anymore.
