ac condensers are in front of the radiator so anything that prevents the condenser from lifting up and out or out from the bottom
could include bonnet release assembly and frame
You have lost the charge and that is commonly due to a couple of built in problems, these are, the AC line "O" rings leak after they harden up from heat and then on top of that the AC condenser leaks due to vibration, the condenser core will pass a vacuum test but it will be defective, so replace all the AC line "O" rings with the new design and replace the AC condenser core. A special tool is required to release the lines to service the "O" rings and any parts store will have the kit. I did hundreds of these at my Ford dealer
Its possible that you have too much Freon and also if the fan in the condenser is coming on you need to make sure the compressor is running too. Some of them are quiet. Grab the line and see if you can feel refrigerant running through them to see if the compressor is running.
The drain is plugged inside the blower motor case, remove the AC/Heater blower motor and clean out the leaves or mouse nest you will find in there. The blower motor is on the passenger side under the dash.
Hello, some units have a condensate safety switch that will cut off power to the thermostat when the drain line is clogged, A wet/ dry vac must be used to clean out the drain line before the thermostat will receive power again. Amother reason could be either a blown fuse or burned out transformer.
If your AC system is empty...The condenser is in front of the radiator. 1. Use ramps or jacks or a lift to raise the car so you can work under it. 2. remove the splash guard under the radiator. 3. Remove the bolts holding the tranmission cooling lines. These also may also hold the bottom of the condenser on the AC line side. Move the cooling lines away from the AC lines. 4. Remove the nuts holding the AC lines to the condenser. You may have to hold the fittings with a vise wrench to prevent bending the pipes. 5. Remove the other lower condenser bolt and use the access holes to remove the top bolts holding the condenser. 6. Lower the condenser out. Reverse procedure to install the new condenser.
If you have the correct tools, this is a fairly easy job.
The condensate drain line is clogged, causing the condensation water to overflow. You can use a shop vac to clear the line. attatch it to the outlet side of the line. also clean out the condensate drain pan located at the bottom of the indoor coil.
here is what i find in the condensation drains of the AC systme, leaf matter is the numero uno, if the blower wasn't pulled and the leaf debris cleaned out then the problem will continue until it is cleaned. there is nothing to add, water is a by product of the air cooling process, the colder the air the less water it can hold suspended, so when you cool it it condenses out, that is why all ac systems have a water drain.
I assume since you called it a furnace, you have hot air heat and central air conditioning. If so, the only way a furnace/AC unit can generate water is by condensing moisture from the air. This is common to all air conditioning and removes humidity from your home. If so, this water, called condensate, must drain. The condensate is collected at the AC cooling coil that is typically located on top of a vertical upflow furnace or downstream of a horizontal furnace. If the drain is clogged, it will overflow and create a mess in and around the furnace. If this is your problem, cleaning and clearing debris may solve the issue. I suggest starting with the easiest accessable part of the drain path. You may need to open the panels enclosing the AC coil and clean the small pans at the bottom of the coil and clear openings from above that look similar to a laundry tub drain. If you get that far and find rust holes in the pan, repairs are needed. If you have an electric condensate pump that may also be the cuprit and require cleaning. Check and clear all drain lines from the coil connection to the final dicharge - sump pit or outside.
