    Default Goodman air handler parts.

    Need to source a part for the above. Specifically the drip tray that drains the condensation. It’s cracked around the drain port so it fills the overflow tray instead of draining. Model ARUF25B14AA.

    Any leads are appreciated.

    If it’s just a couple cracks try some epoxy to repair it.

    Rather not if the pan is available for $100 or less. It would outlast the rest of the unit without having to worry about water dripping from my daughter’s ceiling fan downstairs again. I fixed the overflow problem but I’d rather everything worked as it should.

    Some people pay extra for a misting fan.

    Ha. More along the lines of an electrocution hazard.

    I'd try Amazon.

    Not sure but I bet you can cross reference and find it.

    Location? And that coil will more than likely have to come out to replace the pan.

    Camden. I’ll have to take another look. If that’s the case then epoxy it is.

    Just curious, what caused the crack at the drain port? Did the backup metal catch pan not do it's job? Auto shutoff switch fail? (you mentioned sheetrock got wet) I sell real estate and see all kinds of stuff and rigging. Had a buddy rig a 12 volt auto bilge pump and battery to keep his unit running, it was ghetto, like himself, but kept the unit limping along.

    I've seen folks rig up a catch basin and sump pump system vs gravity fed as an alternate method of removing condensate. My father in law has one in his attic. (Typically I see them in dugout basement cellars to pump condensate up and out)

    Similar to this but with a condensate tank.

    It was set on a sheet of 5/8 plywood which had sagged, causing the whole unit to lean away from the shutoff, so it overflowed the catch pan without tripping the switch.

    I removed the plywood and replaced with PT 2x8s and an extra sill below those.

    I assume all the movement with the drain line attached caused it to crack at the threads.

    I could just drain the catch pan out to the soffit but it seems like all the extra moisture in the attic can’t be ideal?

    So….Forest for the trees and all that. I have a tendency to jump to the most complex of solutions when working outside of my daily routine and skip past troubleshooting steps 1-5.

    After finding the drip pan half full in a day’s time, and water dripping from the bottom edge of the air handler all along the front, I pulled the evaporator cover off while running and after breaking a large amount of suction the pan started to drain as normal into the p-trap. Replace the cover and the water stops. Hmmm. Check air filter in intake…. sucked in and capped off the round duct. Basically 95% blocked. The cracks in the drain pan may be a problem but it should flow well enough now to limp along until end of life for the unit.

    PSA: check your air filters regularly. Having four units with all different sized filters is a pain….

    Sounds like you got it figured out.

    I'd been nursing 20 yr old Rheem units and just had both replaced. R22 was THE ticket, until it wasn't. Our gov't is a joke when it comes to refrigerant.
