Evaporator Drain Pan Removal - Ceiling Mounted Models
Remove the drain pan retainer that is located near the end of the drain pan opposite the drain tube. It is secured
by a thumbscrew. Release the drain tube stub from the drain discharge tube and remove the pan. On freezer
models, a drain pan heater is secured to the drain pan bottom by short brackets. Only a slight effort is required to
release the heater element from the brackets. When replacing the drain pan, make sure that the drain pan stub
is properly connected to the drain discharge tube. When replacing the drain pan, the drain tube must be siliconed
to prevent water leakage.
Hot Gas Vaporizer Pan
Condensate from the evaporator pan is discharged into a hot gas vaporizer pan, which is located in the
condensing unit housing. Here the hot discharge gas from the compressor elevates the temperature of the water
and it vaporizes into the atmosphere. This pan should be cleaned periodically to remove solids that remain after
the moisture is evaporated.
