The condensate tray under the evaporator coil is broken in half and cracked in a few places. I tried to repair it last summer because I just couldn't find a replacement. Today I went down to the basement and it's leaking again so I know this time when I take the plenum apart and pull out the tray it's going in the trash. I called a Lennox dealer and he said all evaporator coils for the Lennox have a C at the start of the model number so he could not help me. The condensing unit is a Bryant.
The problem I'm having is trying to find the replacement pan. My furnace is a Lennox Whisper Heat Model - G20Q3/4E-100-7 Serial - 5899M05186 The evaporator coil is made by BDP Company Model- 507HXX036000MAAA Serial- Y4D96069 The tray is made by Syracuse Plastic Inc. Model - 28AU401253 Can anyone here point me in the right direction for a new condensate tray? Vince Santos

Have you considered calling a Bryant, Carrier or Payne dealer? That's what BDP is. Payne is a seperate company now.

Thanks for the information Matt. I wonder if I can get a better deal on it though. I think I'm gonna run up to Home Depot for some Gorilla Glue.

I've got the same tray and same problem, wondering how you ultimately fixed this? I'm seeing prices online of $300 and more!

If the evaporator is installed flush with the top of the furnace and this was caused by heat damage to the pan it might be advisable to raise the evaporator. Having the evaporator coil raised say 4 inches distances the pan from the top of the heat exchanger. This will also allow better airflow around the heat exchanger cells and reduces the stress on the heat exchanger. Just my opinion.

Shoot I can't remember how I fixed this. I guess I went for some gorilla glue but I can't remember if I repaired it or found a replacement tray.
My memory fails me on this. looking over those photos I can't imagine why I would try to repair it. Hopefully I went with the replacement. Either way it's not leaking anymore. Vince Santos

This looks like something that can be fabricated out of sheet metal. I'll bet any good tin knocker can fabricate this tray for you. |
