Official GE air handler parts

Clearing a clogged condensate drain line in your GE air handler

• Shut off the house circuit breakers for your air handler to disconnect electrical power.
• Pull the float switch out and vacuum water from the condensate drain system through the float switch hole.
• Use a plumber's snake to clear the drain line to the outside of your home.
• Pour water through the drain line to make sure it's clear.
• Reinstall the float switch and restore power to the air conditioner.
• Pour one cup of liquid bleach through the drain line every six months to keep the drain line clear of algae.

Top reasons why your GE air handler won't work

• Lack of power. Check the house circuit breakers for the air handler. Reset the circuit breakers if they're tripped.
• Failed electronic control board. Shut off power to the air handler for 1 minute then restore power to reset the electronic control board. If that doesn't work, then you may need to replace the electronic control board.
• Bad transformer. A bad transformer won't send low voltage DC power to electronic control components so the air handler won't work. Replace the transformer is it doesn't send DC current to the controls.
• Thermostat problems. Check the thermostat settings and adjust the settings if needed. If the thermostat is bad, you'll need to replace it.
• Bad blower fan motor. If the blower fan motor gets power and doesn't run, you'll likely need to replace the blower motor.
