Heating, Air Conditioning, Fridge, HVAC - Temstar heating and air conditioner unit


Expert: Jim Barnhart - 7/13/2009

Question
Unable to locate the model # but the unit is about 10 years old, some 4 feet in length, 2 1/2 feet wide and 1 1/2 or so feed deep. Its a attic unit and difficult to get around it but the main A/C and Heat run out of each end of it. Has a grate and flat panel on what appears to be the front of it. Now to the question, where are the water pans located and how do you go about getting to them to clean them out or replace them if needed. I know they should be under it as thats where the drain lines come from but wasn't sure about trying to pull the front panels off or how difficult it would be to get to them and get them out, any assistance will be appreciated. Thanks, Hayden, Brandon, MS

Answer
Hayden,
The cooling coil has a drip pan directly under the coil itself, it may be  built onto the coil and is not removable, it may not be readily accessible either?
It all depends on what type of unit you have and how the cooling coil is mounted?
There should be an auxiliary drip pan that is outside of the unit that serves as an overflow safety drip pan which should not have water in it unless there is a problem with the main drip pan or drain line.
The drain lines connects to the drip pan's
