That’s what I like the most about this trade, everyone has their own way of doing things. A lot of it is similar in a way and others not so much. I like seeing different ways techs do things. Job well done Jeff.
Thanks brother!
Jeff, I really like the way you edit your videos! You get to the point not 20 minutes of taking in and out the cover screws. Audio is very easy to understand and video quality is nice to watch.
Appreciate that! Thanks for your support!
Yeah I can 😅🎉and 😢
OMG! This is the best video I've found yet, I'm having this same exact issue, only thing I have refrigerant lines directly in front of that triangle panel so I can't get it off to get to those two screws way in the back. Any suggestions are welcome thanks alot.
That’s a tuff one. Only way is to try and bend (without kinking) them out of the way or cut the Refrig pipes and do the whole process with that. Good luck.
Solid, straightforward video. Appreciate that
Thanks
I like your videos. Well explained. Thanks for taking the time making this videos and sharing.
The pleasure is all mine. Thanks for watching!
Great work Jeff 👍👍
Thanks man
Nice jobs Jeff.
Thanks
Nice work man! 👍
Thanks
Great job buddy
Thanks
Great video! I had some technicians do a similar pan replacement, as well as replacing my drain pipe. A few days later now my system ices over. Any ideas why that would be?
If the filter and coil are clean it Could be low on refrigerant. If they had to pump the refrigerant down to replace the pan (which you have to do sometimes doing this) they may have either not put enough refrigerant back, or you might have a leak. Best to get them back out to have a look.
Could the crack be "repaired" by coating the inside of the drain pan with a waterproof sealant, such as Flex-Seal?
Cracked drain pans are common in Whirlpool refrigerators. The Whirlpool pans are plastic, and it's believed the cracking is due to the vibration of the fridge motor. Perhaps the frequency of the vibration is close to a resonant frequency of the pan? Maybe the vibration could be dampened by inserting rubber grommets between the pan and the points where the pan is screwed down.
Could have used a pan spray or flex seal but I usually only use that in a temporary fix. Sometimes if it’s just a very hair line crack I’ll leave it with pan spray but a crack that big I like to do the whole pan.
I’ll check the vibration next time. Thanks.
The cracking is probably due to repeated expansion and shrinking due to temperature fluctuations. Or maybe it's just a bad batch of drain pans from the factory.
I have an AC from 1999, the drain pan is metal and rusted out near where the PVC drains the water to outside the house. I want to replace it with one of these plastic units. Where can I buy such a pan? Thank you. Other than the leaky pan, the AC works just fine. I really don't want to replace the whole thing.
Typically the original coil would have needed to come with a plastic pan to get a plastic replacement.
why would it crack?
Constant heating up and cooling from the gas furnace directly underneath the coil.
What is a good way to find the crack? I had 2 HVAC companies came and 1 said there is a crack, the 2nd pour water on top of it and didn't find any crack or leakage from the drain pan.
Very frustrating.
The leak only happens when the AC is OFF. No leak when the unit is ON.
Plumber cleared the primary drain line with a snake and a blew air in it.
Does that says anything to anyone as to the root cause of the leak?
The pan needs to be inspected thoroughly (Sometimes even removed from the unit) to inspect it for cracks.
where did you get the replacement pan?

@@JeffsHVACAdventures thanks
You did not show getting the coil over the top of the drain pan. Please show the whole process and don't skip over anything, makes for better videos.
It was hard to push it in and hold the phone at the same time. I need to invest in a tripod or something. Thanks for the advice!
Ahh sounds like you’re begging for subscribers then lying to me about it. Should try a different approach pal. Great vid tho
What did I lie about?
