Have a Nordyne/Intertherm, Model # FEBB-015HA, Ser# FEB9312-03621-a/c runs continously, where would I start to troubleshoot the unit running all the time. Also if the drain pan is plugged, could you use a small flexible wire to run into the drain?--Thanks

Runs continuously? Does it reach the temperature of the t-stat and keep on dropping? Is it cooling like it always has? Is your t-stat set to 50 degrees? If you bump your t-stat above the indoor temperature does it shut off? I think a little more explanation is needed.

Easiest way to unclog a condenser drain that I know of, is to duct tape the hose of a shop vac to the discharge end and suck out the muck.

Hi,

Is the indoor blower motor shutting off, BUT outside condensing unit continuing to run ?


Wet-Dry vac and duct tape to drain line termination point as flcruising stated is best DIY for clearing drain lines.



Thanks,
Robert
