CONDITION
Water On The Floor
Caution!
Water on flooring can not only cause damage, but can also create a slip
hazard. Until properly diagnosed and repaired, be sure to follow these procedures:
•
Use of a wet-dry shop vacuum is recommended to remove excess water from
both the floor and condensate pan as well as the interior of the unit’s base.
•
Water in the condensate pan may be extremely hot if the pan is working properly
and cannot keep up. Personal Protection Equipment such as gloves and long
sleeves must be used when emptying the condensate pan to avoid injury.
Caution!
During a power failure, the condensate pan may overflow and cause
damage and a slip hazard! Restore power as soon as possible. Until such time that
power is restored, follow the steps above.
Open Air Display Cases
are subject to air disturbance and due to direct sunlight
and close proximity of heating ducts, grills, radiators, ceiling fans or main doors.
Also avoid locations where the unit is subject to high humidity such as near cases
with water misting or fogging devices.
Check that the drain trap(s) assembly did not become dislodged during shipment
or installation and that it is correctly positioned over condensate pan, pump, or floor
drain.
Check that the drain trap is free of debris such as algae, food product and
packaging.
Check that condensate pan or pump is properly plugged in or hardwired to power.
Note: Condensate pan may be on a separate circuit due to amp draw.
Condensate Pan Assemblies with Float
Check condensate pan float, if applicable for proper operation. If the float is not
floating, clean the pan and float of debris to see if it will float, if not, replace the
condensate pan assembly.
PTC Condensate Pan Assemblies
Note: The amp draw on a PTC heater is not a constant resistance or amp draw like
that of a cal-rod heater. Most pans have at least 2 heaters so you can compare
their amp draws. If they are both close in amp draw, they are likely not the problem
unless neither is drawing any load with the proper voltage applied.
