York Condensate Drain Pan Issue
Do you have a York Furnace in your home?
Although York manufactures an excellent product, we have been notified of a flaw in some of their early high efficient systems, where they used a clear condensate drain pan to assist technicians in assessing the operating condition of the unit. Using this clear plastic has created the potential for cracks and leaks, leading to corrosive condensate to leak out of the drain pan and into the furnace.
Fortunately, York has provided a fix by replacing the drain pan with a unit made from a black crack resistant polymer. We recommend you get this replaced as soon as possible to avoid more serious issues and repair costs.
Gas Furnace models affected include:
All 33″ York High Efficiency Models Prior to 2015 including:
TG9S
YP9STM9V
