Coil housing rusting, condesation pan leaking
Posted: Tue Aug 14, 2012 9:30 am
My Coleman(Model# C3QA-036U-B) interior is leaking water severly. The copper coil housing is rusting/rusted through where it connects to the condesation pan(plastic). I have had the A/C repairman out and they say it is a fatal failure, i need to buy a new one. I know it is 11 -12 yrs old but I don't have the money to do that! I don't want to waste good money on the interior unit when the blower outside will eventually fail too. Might as well change the whole thing at one time. But as I said, $$$$$$$ .
Is there some type of caulking or tape I can use to seal the leak at the edge of the housing that is sitting in the pan and underneath where I see the leak? The A/C man put some type of tape underneath on the pan but he didn't follow it all the way around the pan bottom, so it is still leaking. Am I wasting my time even trying to get the thing bandaid-ed for the rest of the summer months? Thanks.
