Thanks for this advice! Our system is only one year old and this is the first summer day we needed AC. It shut down, but you nailed it. I blasted the drain line with “air in- can” and now it is draining well! Mama bear is happy and I am a HERO!🙂

Aside from being a novice who needed to check what the safety switch looked like, I never would have though to use a shop vac. We tend to avoid chemicals, so normally we forcefully flush the system out with a hose now and again. But since it got too backed up for that, well... Shop vac cleared everything right out.

I do not think you want to put "water downed bleach into your safety switch drain line", it will likely go back into the HVAC system pan and if it sits there too long it could cause severe rust in the HVAC pan. If you use watered down bleach, you should only pour in down your primary drain line that either goes outside or to your main plumbing system.

Thank you!

Your video is so helpful, it saved us tons of money on an a/c repair company. The float switch was full of water just like you demonstrated in the video. After clearing out the water, the unit started right back up.

This worked like a charm! We were so frustrated because we have had to have the AC man come out twice within a week. The first time it was a part on the outside unit and the second time it was because the thermostat was outdated and needed a new digital one. Then last night I came in the bedroom and it was 81° but it was set to 77°. The inside unit would not come on. After watching your video I went outside and hooked up the shop vac to the pipe. A little bit of water came out and I’m hoping that’s all. My husband will be checking the lines to make sure there’s no more gunk in there. I came back inside and switched the unit on and after a few moments it came on and was blowing cold. I think maybe it just caused the floater switch to trip.
