Full StoryHad a new carrier system installed last October for my condo. Outdoor heat pump with indoor blower unit. Has worked great with significant savings on my electric bill.
On Saturday the system stopped working. While trying to see what the problem might be I noticed the condensate pan on the blower unit located in an indoor closet was full. I also noticed condensate on the outside of the blower unit. When I removed the emergency float switch from the side of the pan the system started, but soon stopped again. I sponged out the water in the condensate pan. The thermostat read WAIT. About 15 minutes the system started working and has worked normally since. The condensate pan has remained dry. I'm trying to figure out what may have caused this unusual filling of the condensate pan. I change my filters every 30 days, and there is no indication the condensate drain line is blocked. Any suggestions as to a cause I overlooked? Thanks for your help.
