Question The coil in my residential heat pump is at an angle, and instead of the water running down the coil into the collection pan, it's dripping off of the coil onto the bottom of the vent box (forgive my lack of proper wording), where it runs onto my basement floor. It leaked previously, then we had a summer "tune-up", and the dripping stopped for a few weeks, then started back. Thanks for any help!
Answer Steve,
I don't have a service manual on your air handler, I don't know the type either, even if I did I don't have reference material.
There are air handlers that are "all position" you can mount them for up-flow, down-flow, horizontal flow.
When you change the position or get a new unit you need to make sure that the drip pan is positioned properly for the application.
Also if there is some foreign object stuck onto or in the coil fins the condensate can trail off to the wrong place.
