Changing a Drain Pan the Easier Way

- Eric Mele with HVAC school demonstrates his method of changing a Trane drain pan the easier way.
Eric came across a cracked drain pan, which requires full replacement of the drain pan. He and Bryan spotted some signs of possible rough jobs in the past, which can indeed lead to a cracked drain pan. Eric removed the pan by pulling the blower assembly out, pulling panels off, removing the evaporator coil's screws on the front, removing the ones on the back, and lifting the pan out from under the coil. You can usually slide the coil a little bit forward to access the back of the drain pan a bit more easily.
Eric's method works on smaller coils; if you have a large coil that you are unable to lift, then it might be a better idea to pump down the system and pull the coil.

Purchased: August 2023 - still works GREAT!I th-cam.com/users/postUgkxxsUnXhGsSJLim_XnMHyQK0u3XVaW-CGn live in a studio and during the summer it gets scorching hot - really old building with no ac units. I can’t express how EASY it was to install. This unit has been a life savior during the summer and some days during other seasons where it can still be a bit warm at night. In this small place is my friend, a husky, poodle mix and myself. We need AC - lolI don’t use the dehumidifier option - I’m not sure if it will leak in my house, since I did not install the small draining hose that came with it. May look into it late but I don’t worry about much humidity in the apartment. I don’t understand why the negative reviews since all things mentioned, I personally did not find issues with. Definitely worth it!
*Used to supplement the up stairs when it gets hot outside this works very well and **Fastly.Cool** Also works good when the upstairs gets too hot in the Winter from the heater.*
This tech deserves a 👏👏👏
Silent Applause please 👏👏👏👏
That tech is legit. Guy literally has almost any trick to the trade.
why would you fast forward through the part everyone wanted to see
fixing to do this right now because of this video. Thanks. It's a newer five ton so I'm I'm going to go grab a ratchet strap now to see if I can pull it out. It's for a Warehouse break room so it's a very dirty environment.
Mine is in a downflow application but this method still seems to work all around so far, maybe even better because the bottom screws are easier to get to.
That was not Boring at All. Nice vid.👍
Nice work..thanks for the tip. Vinyl tubing for the win.
I would have pumped unit and pulled coil as well. Awesome video! I'll definitely check to see if I can do that my next drain pan clean or change. Thanks for another informative video!
Really good video. Would like to see some more 👍👍
Thanks! I was trying to dissasemble my residential hydronic system. Couldn't for the life of me figure out how the tray was attached to the elbow joint.
How do you check for a cracked drain pan on a horizontal application
thrilling yet numbing
Fast forward thru the talking not the actual work!
But Thanks for vid
Yeah, really wanted to see that part
very informative, are the new generation trane air handlers units improved or about same ? contemplating in moving from trane to carrier?!
I want to know about the magnet trick for the rattling check valves. I have often heard the rattling after the unit cycles off.
Oh shit is that Eric M
I had one tech tell me you have to replace the coils because trying to shimmy out the drain pan could cause them to break. Yeah, right, and I have a bridge in Brookly I'd like to sell ya. (Anyone else think changing a coil system when the a/c works efficiently and quietly is just an upcharge to justify the labor? I wanna know.)
Lol…hopefully you have another Hvac service you can use
What is- one of these?
Genius
So the refrigerant stayed in that system the whole time and he never had to recover it?
what type of metal the frame is made out of on 2001 Goodman copper coil? Thanks
What’s that flashlight he is using?
Been there done that
How the hell do I find my drain pan??? I swear to God I can't find it and I swear I'm not stupid! My last house it was in the garage on top now I have a different unit and I swear to God I can't find this pan! To soak up the water
