Evaporation When it's on the cool mode the unit did'nt evapo anymore, i have to empty the pan every +/- 2h. Few year ago when she was new a never empty it. So what happen and how i can fix this?????

Yes it's normal in most cases. There should be a knob to turn so it cycles on more often. If it's not a window unit, & is a free-standing unit, you might have to empty a water pan or tank on it. As condensation collects on the cooling coils, it collects in a container near the bottom. If it's full of water, it will cycle the cooling off until you empty the water container or some of the water in it evaporates.

its the evaporator try its mounted above the compressor

perhaps the freezer has quick defrosted and the try is too full

use a towel and soak all the water off

check the freezer balast fan is running ok and fast enough {good speed}
or the freezer can reach a state where it just melts a little of the ice monster

so

my adivce is the run your food in it down
then completely defrost it
and you need to clean all the pipes that go too the evaporator tray
and then dress them with salt

they are usually at the bottom of the V shaped channels both at the back of the fridge
and also behind the freezer rear wall
it usualy has a panel with a few screws or pop plastic pins
that allows you too get too the blast fan and the evapoator V shaped channel
that guides the water to the evaporator pipe

so it prob needs something done with the frost free unit
i think its just got too the point its gummed up

with ice and the fan isnt working efficently anymore

There is a drain hose that empties the defrost water from the cooling coil and drains into a pan located at the bottom of your unit, where it evaporates. Check to see if this drain hose has popped out of this pan, or possibly the pan is cracked.

My unit was working fine for a couple years but now it won't evaporate. It still cools fine but it also collects about 16 ounces of water every hour and then shuts itself off until I drain it. I'm wondering it the evaporative mechanism it broken some how.

I've got the same problem. After installing a replacement drip pan (W1019913) and disconnecting the thermistor per the enclosed instructions, the problem returned within two months. I just called Jenn-Air customer service and was told that there is a new design for the drip pan this is only available through Jenn-Air, and not through distributors. Therefore the part I purchased in November through a distributor was the old design (even though it was dated 1/27/11).
The Jenn-Air rep agreed to have a tech install the new design under warranty, even though I purchased the unit almost 5 years ago. I'm hopeful that this will correct the problem.
If you still want instructions on how to remove the drip pan, let me know. But I would return the part you've got and ask Jenn-Air do it for free.

No Freon doesnt evaporate the only way you have to charge an A/C unit is if it has a leak somewhere in the system. It sounds like your compressor is locked up I would try installing a super boost to the Condenser (outside unit). Let me know

The model you have has an evaporator feature, that normally evaporates the left over condensation. However, there are times that the humidity level may be to high to handle all of the left over condensation. In which case, the pan would need to be drained. In most instances, a plastic low sided container would suffice. But, if you run the AC unit in a continual mode, there's a good chance not all the left over condensation would be evaporated.That's what the hose is for. Not sure why there are 2 of them. Generally there's only one. Anyway, the unit also will shut down automatically, if the pan gets full and needs to be emptied. It will not run until it's emptied. But, I caution you not always rely on that. Anything can go wrong when you're not at home.

Hope this helped you understand how the unit operates. If you have any more questions, call Danby's Customer Support Dept. The 800 number is in your Owner's Manual. They're good folks and will do what's necessary to help you.

Hi,

These symptoms usually indicate a problem with the drain. If the drain for the evaporator is restricted it may leak, if it leaks enough it will activate a float switch that turns off the air cooling unit.

The first thing you need to do is locate the evaporator, depending on where you live and what type of home you have it will be in the basement or the attic most likely. There will be a pan under the cooling coils, if in that pan there is water then your drain for the cooling coils is plugged. Look above that pan for another drain line that is the one you need to clean out.

In the pan that has the water you will find some type of float or water switch that is keeping the A/C from coming on.

Send me a message here if you have questions.

Check your door gaskets

Your unit was in defrost mode (happens once a day) and ice that built up over the previous 24 hours was melting and draining down a drain line to a pan under the unit so it will evaporate. This is how freezers stay " Frost free ". The water in the pan under the unit will evaporate by itself. Have a great day!
