If a condensate pan is full of water, what should the ASCS check FIRST?
When a condensate pan is full of water, the first thing the ASCS should check is the drain line. A full condensate pan usually indicates a potential issue with the drainage system, such as a blockage or a malfunctioning drain line. Ensuring the drain line is clear and functioning properly is essential before investigating other causes such as coil leakage, pan slope, or plenum pressure.
the correct anwser is chek the drain line?
as an HVAC contractor and service tech for 9 years now, I always check the Drain line 1st. I did not find exactly the answer on the book, but there is section on HVAC Inspection Manual, 2016 Edition, page 2, section D. Condensate Drains that does says that an incorrect slope is A reason why it would happen. Does not means it is the 1st thing I or anyone would check. So I am staying with option D
