The last few days our air conditioner coil in the furnace started dropping water from the inside.
The drain tube coming out of the plenum seems to be working. Once the air is on for a while and the furnace fan runs water comes out into the lower section of the furnace and runs on the floor.
I'm guessing the coil is frosting up and then de-thawing when the fan comes on and melts it. Only way that water can be getting in there. The duct is not condensating so it has to be the coil.
The outside unit is clear of dust and debris and is blowing mildly warm air, nothing serious.
Just wondering what the problem would? Could be low on freon in the unit?
I didn't take the duct cover off to look at the coil but I suppose there could be some obstruction blocking the drain port where it goes out to the hose.
The unit is 8 years old. I believe it is a Rheem and a 2 ton?
