Haier Central air conditioner leaking at furnace or air handler

When a Haier central air conditioner is leaking water at the furnace or air handler, the problem usually involves condensate drainage around the evaporator coil. The most likely cause is an evaporator coil that is not tilted toward the drain outlet, allowing water to miss the condensate drain pan and overflow. Next, check the Haier drain pan (also called a drip tray) for cracks. If water is leaking from the pan without overflowing, the damaged part will need replacement. A clogged condensate drain tube or drain trap is less common but can make water back up and cause an AC condensate leak or water under the furnace from the AC. Turn off power to the air handler before inspecting or clearing the drain, and protect the area from water damage. Replacing a pan or clearing a drain is generally within a careful DIYer's scope, but correcting an improperly positioned evaporator coil may require a licensed HVAC technician. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement drain pan or other part for your specific Haier central air conditioner.

01 - Evaporator Coil Not Tilted Toward Drain

To help the condensate water to flow towards the drain outlet in the pan, most installers will tilt the evaportor coil slightly towards the drain hole. If the evaporator coil is not level, or tilted incorrectly, water will not flow to the drain hole and may overflow the pan.

02 - Haier Central Air Conditioner Drip Tray

The evaporator is normally tilted slightly towards the drain hole to help the water to drain properly into the drip tray. If water is leaking from the drip tray but the tray is not overflowing, the drip tray is likely cracked and will need to be replaced.

03 - Haier Central Air Conditioner Drain Pan

The evaporator is normally tilted slightly towards the drain hole to help the water to drain properly into the drain pan. If water is leaking from the drain pan but the pan is not overflowing, the drain pan is likely cracked and will need to be replaced.
Common

04 - Clogged Drain Tube or Drain Trap

When the air conditioner is running, condensation forms on the evaporator coil and drips into a drain pan. From there the water is directed through a pipe with a trap to a floor drain or condensate pump. If the drain tube or trap gets clogged, the water will back up and overflow the drain pan. If water is leaking from the evaporator pan, it is likely the drain tube or trap is clogged and will need to be cleared to allow the water to flow normally. Be sure to shut off the power to the unit before attempting to remove the clog.
