Will try that. Come to find out drain line only goes to bathroom vent pipe in attic and NOT to outside of house. Makes too many turns before draining into big pipe. I’m gonna simplify it.Originally Posted by skeettx

Make sure filter is clean. High humidity and low flow, coils freeze and no cool. Plugged line keeps humidity high. PVC pipe, use vinegar vs bleach. Bleach is OK while moisture in the pipe but will hurt the PVC when weather (AC) is dry. New code has inside drain and outside drain. Inside ones are pain to keep algae out. One of mine gets into the ptrap and stays there.

Whatever!
was gonna say, you may have a partial blockage in the vent line or the bathroom. Climb up on the roof and check it out, maybe run a small hand powered snake down the vent and the drain.
My units all have a cap that can be removed on the pvc drain line. The one year I forgot to put the chlorine tablets in it it clogged up. A quick blast with a air compressor cleared it out and poured bleach down the drain. Problem is that a few days later all the dead gunk fell and again blocked the drain. Again a quick blast and more bleach and now I remember to drop the tablets in every yrear.

Going to follow everyone's advice here for sure! Just checked the attic and the pan is bone dry! Only thing I did last night was remove cover on side and peer inside to view coil condition (somewhat dirty so I took an old fine brush taped to a stick and gently swiped em). When I replaced cover I did have a roll of the shiny tape and sealed all edges. That's all I did differently! Still going to put liquid Drano in drain pipe! I'm wondering, if the coil housing isn't sealed good, wouldn't that cause more condensation? (Not to mention I would be cooling attic too). Also investing in coil cleaner. Pardon me for dragging this out!

That's what the AC guy said to use. Not going to use but an ounce or two.

Doesn't look like anything what I have but for 11.00 I probably could use it! Just went back up in attic and poured about a cup down the hatch, pan still dry. Air kicked on while I was up there and felt a few cold breezes coming from around plenum, fix that right quick with magic silver tape!

Could you put a fine mesh globe around the end of the drain tube, to block insects, maybe? Or an aquarium air stone?
Could you possibly snake in a new drain line and abandon the old one?
Run the new drain line so it can make a more straight thru exit to drain.
I usually find the hum to be the control transformer.
