A/C leak

It looks like the drip pan under my coils has a crack in it. Its a brisk air unit. Can this be replaced or is it time for a new A/C unit?
  • AC units (with a few exceptions are sealed units. Parts of the system can be replaced but to get it back to working properly it will need a vacuum on the system for several hours (depending on how long its been open), then the proper charge put in.

    The OP is talking about the condensate pan.

    With roof units, there are no exceptions. They are all hermetically sealed units and they do not have to be vacuumed for hours. If recharge is needed such as after a leak repair, once the service port is sweated into the suction line, they can be pumped down in a few minutes.
  • DRIP PAN........some are separate trays.......some are just part of the unit pan.

    On the Brisk I think it's part of pan, which is not a service part.
    I would just use some JB Weld on crack and seal it.

    Here is a Service Part Guide........click on your Brisk and then on model for parts. LINK


    Like I said....JB Weld the crack.
    No need for new unit.........unless the A/C Unit is junk
  • Go to Walmart. In the "crafts" section you will find some glue/sealant called E6000. That will adhere to the Dometic drain pans. Just clean and dry the pan and install the glue. Other type sealants will not adhere to the type plastic drain pan Dometic uses. Doug
