Water leaking from indoor Comfortmaker air handler or from ceiling near air handler

Safety: Turn off power to the air handler to prevent electrical hazards around water.

Steps:

• Locate drain line: Find the PVC drain exiting the Comfortmaker air handler.
• Clear blockage: Use a wet/dry vacuum at the outside drain termination to suck out clogs. You can also flush with warm water and a small amount of vinegar.
• Inspect drain pan: Remove access panel and check for cracks or rust holes. Replace pan if damaged.
• Check slope: Ensure the drain line slopes downward away from the unit.
• Condensate pump: If present, verify it runs and discharges water. Clean or replace if failed.

Note: Some Comfortmaker systems have a float switch that will shut off cooling when the pan fills; clearing the drain will restore operation.
