Bryant Central air conditioner leaking at furnace or air handler
If your Bryant central air conditioner is leaking water at the furnace or air handler, start with the evaporator coil position. The coil should tilt slightly toward its drain outlet so condensation flows into the pan; if it is level or tilted incorrectly, water can overflow and cause an air conditioner leaking water or water under the furnace from AC problem. Next, inspect the Bryant drip tray. A cracked drip tray can leak even when it is not overflowing and usually needs replacement. A cracked evaporator drain pan can cause the same AC condensate leak and is another common cause of an air handler leaking water. Less commonly, a clogged drain tube or drain trap backs water up until the pan overflows. Turn off power to the unit before clearing a clog, and do not work on 240-volt wiring. These drainage repairs generally do not involve refrigerant, but any repair inside the sealed system, including refrigerant lines or the evaporator coil, requires an EPA 608-certified HVAC technician. Enter your Bryant model number to find the exact replacement drain pan or other part for your specific 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.
Common
02 - Bryant 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 - Bryant 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.
