The Amana furnace started to leak water, but the furnace itself still runs fine. After poking at for a bit, I have determined that it is due to the fact the condensate trap (basically a plastic bucket) has developed a crack underneath, and water is dripping out of it.
I believe I have found a replacement part on Amazon.
The parts certainly seems to look like what I have.
My questions are:
1. For people who are experienced with the Amana high efficacy furnace, is the part on Amazon correct?
2. How do I safely remove the wire and hose from the condensate trap.
3. Once new trap is screwed back in, how do I safely re-house the wire and re-connect the hose?
Just want to make sure I purchase the correct part, and do not break the hoses
I have attached the photo of the furnace, the condensate trap, and where the crack is.
Yes..... that replacement sump looks correct.
The two black hoses just sit in there.
I would break or cut the plastic ear off where the wires were run thru.
You'll need to get the white PVC fitting if it's glued on the sump. 3/4" male connector.
Don't worry about running the wires thru that eye. That's not what it's for.
Ordered the part, but unfortunately, the replacement Pan would take about a week and half to arrive.
In the meantime, I'm thinking of temporarily fixing it. First I will remove the broken pan, and then put the two black pipes that are coming out of the furnace (why does this furnace have two condensate pipe?) into a funnel that will be taped to the hose. Hopefully that will just carry all the water away until the pan arrives. Sort of a makeshift drain trap with a funnel.
Would this method work? Or does the two black pipes that come out of the furnace has to be somehow soaked in water?
The black pipes may need to sit in water as in a trap.
Drain the trap. Dry it. Put some silicone or glue over the crack from the outside.
Superglue would probably seal the crack too.
Morning all,
New here so please excuse my dumb questions.
I bought this house in 95 and have never changed either th furnace or A/C. They work fine for years but now the transformer is sticking on the furnace. Its the old York (Borg-Warner).
Model # CG-105-B3N
Serial # WO-160141
I'm usually pretty good tracking things down on the internet but heck I'm stumped with this one. The oldest that I could find was 71 and it was not even close in the sequence numbers.
What I need is the transformer. Its sticking. After the heat turns off the fan will stay running (for days).unless i whomp the transformer with my cell phone then it will shut down. Im looking
for this transformer.

40va TRANSFORMER

Yup has a few numbers. I have tried most all the parts houses and none can find either the model or part number?
Thanks
I need advice of what can be done with my furnace. I'm not a handy man and I'm unfortunately on the spectrum and people tend to take advantage of that. I figured I'd try to reach out to some of you that are much smarter than I in hopes to get an idea of how to solve my problem. I have this oil burner inside my house that spits out water whenever it runs. It seems like a terrible design for something that is inside the house, there is no drain for the water to go into so I am left with putting a bucket where the water comes out then about every 2 to 4 hrs walking the bucket to the bathroom to dump the water down the toilet. I even have to get up around 2 or 3 in the morning to dump out the bucket and if I happen to sleep through the night I wake up to the room and hallway flooded with water. Is there anything that I can do to stop this from happening that won't kill me, leave me badly burned, or blow my house up? I'm getting tired of having to empty this bucket every day multiple times a day. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
