Goodman
Condensation on Uninsulated or Cold Surfaces
Goodman air conditioner indoor coil or refrigerant lines sweat excessively and drip water
Advertisements
Possible Causes
Missing or damaged insulation on suction line, Very low supply air temperature due to low airflow or low charge, High indoor humidity, Air leaks around coil cabinet
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before working near refrigerant lines or coil cabinet.
Steps to reduce sweating:
- 1. Replace suction line insulation: Inspect the larger copper line from the Goodman condenser to the indoor unit. Replace missing or damaged insulation with closed-cell pipe insulation of the correct size.
- 2. Seal air leaks: Use foil tape or mastic to seal gaps around the coil cabinet where humid air can contact cold surfaces.
- 3. Improve dehumidification: Ensure the system is properly sized and running long enough cycles. Avoid oversizing and set fan to AUTO instead of ON.
When to call a professional: If sweating is severe, a technician should check supply air temperature, airflow, and refrigerant charge.
