ICP Central air conditioner leaking at furnace or air handler
If your ICP central air conditioner is leaking water at the furnace or air handler, the most likely cause is an evaporator coil that is not tilted toward the drain outlet. When the coil is level or tilted incorrectly, condensation can miss the drain opening and overflow. Next, check the condensate drain pan (also called the evaporator drip tray). A cracked tray or pan can cause an air conditioner leaking water problem even when it is not overflowing. Less commonly, a clogged condensate drain tube or drain trap backs water up into the pan, causing an AC condensate leak or water under the furnace from AC operation. Turn off power to the air handler before inspecting or clearing the drain, and do not work on 240V wiring unless you are qualified. These repairs typically do not require EPA 608 certification, but any work involving refrigerant, the evaporator coil sealed system, or refrigerant lines must be handled by a licensed HVAC technician. Enter your ICP model number to find the exact replacement drip tray, condensate drain pan, drain tube, 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 - ICP 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 - ICP 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.
