[QUOTE="feral, post: 4281604, member: 52116"] Gotta make sure that it's draining... There's usually PVC pipe running out of the lowest part of the tray. And when you find access take a shop vac to it, making the best seal you can. I learned this the hard way when my attic handler overflowed and was dripping on the living room ceiling. Had to replace half the ceiling. The guy I called, a licensed, bonded technician, only replaced the cutoff switch, which was getting tripped by the water .. Didn't do a damn thing about the drain. And when I called him on it, he said he "wasn't a plumber". 🤷 I pulled the gunk out of the drain with the vacuum and installed a secondary pump just in case. Other than that, make sure the air returns have good filters. And seconded on the ventilation. Make sure you have airflow up there. Vent fans with thermostats if necessary. [/QUOTE]
