On my 2004 3500 Savana, it is under the hood, under and just behind the blower fan. It is not a 'tube' per say, but rather a plastic black square formed tube, that snakes a bit downward, with a rubber flap on it's downward end. That flap faces the passenger's wheel, and has a weighted portion on it that keeps the flap closed. I'm having to clean mine out right now, and am finding maple seeds and mud (possibly wet dust) blocking the water from escaping.
The AC condensate drain on a 2001 Ram is on the firewall just behind and to the right of the ac drier. its hard to get to to clean.
The AC condensate drain line should be run to a safe location outside the building where it can drain freely without causing damage or creating a hazard.
Maintaining the condensate drain line in an AC system is important because it helps prevent water buildup and potential leaks, which can lead to mold growth, water damage, and reduced efficiency of the system. Regular maintenance of the condensate drain line ensures proper functioning of the AC system and helps prolong its lifespan.
A clogged AC condensate drain line can cause water leakage and other problems with the air conditioning system.
Condensate forms on the AC coil as the AC runs for a while. AC units are supposed to have a condensate tube that's designed to drain the water. If the tube is plugged or otherwise damaged the condensate will back up and get into the furnace. To avoid damage you should make sure the condensate is draining properly.
Common causes of water leakage from an AC condensate pan include clogs in the drain line, a damaged or rusted pan, improper installation, and a dirty air filter.
Your AC drain pan may be full of water due to a clog in the drain line or a malfunctioning condensate pump. To fix it, you can try clearing the clog using a wet/dry vacuum or a plumber's snake. If the condensate pump is faulty, you may need to replace it. Regular maintenance and cleaning of your AC unit can help prevent this issue in the future.
Yes, the Safe-T-Switch AC device is installed in the HVAC system to prevent water damage by shutting off the system if the condensate drain becomes clogged.
The usual cause is a condensate drain that is plugged. You should be able to crawl under the car and poke something up through the drain to clear it out. Another possible problem is the drain pan is cracked or broken allowing the condensate to drip. This would require partial disassembly of the dash to replace.
Your AC may be leaking water outside due to a clogged condensate drain line, a dirty air filter, low refrigerant levels, or a malfunctioning condensate pump. It is important to address this issue promptly to prevent further damage to your AC system.
When the AC is on, the furnace may produce condensation that can leak if the condensate drain is clogged or damaged. This can cause water to accumulate and leak from the furnace.
The condensate drain is most likely stopped up.
