Fix for Clogged Drainage ( error code 31 ) on Bryant High Efficiency Gas Furnace - Permanent Repair

[@jonniehickson5599]

I have had this problem for close to 10 years and had several professional and nonprofessional repair men to look at my furnace and still have the same problem. I am proud to say after watching your video I a 54 year old female had no problems with fixing and getting rid of the code. My 3 cats thank you too because the house is no longer cold😺

[@abdulrahimabdulrahim4695]

Thank you & God Bless you I had same problem I took the first pipe & the down pipe where it drains then took a pipe & blow into the bottle all the rust came out now no light blinking it’s working good. Again Thank you for This best video

[@shirazsaloojee8240]

My furnace was blinking 3-1. Tried youtube before I called an HVAC tech and low and behold this was the EXACT problem. It cost me 1hr of my time and now the code is gone and my furnace is blowing hot. Exact same furnace as in the video and exact same problem - Clogged condenser box just needed to be removed, blown out and re installed. THANK YOU SO MUCH MPOPOV69. You the real hero.

[@Melanie0936]

--feeling accomplished! My dad would be proud! We are in the midst of an arctic blast and enduring temps well below zero. Thanks to your video, I avoided an expensive service call and was able to unblock and flush the collector box- no problem. I detached the third hose and removed the box to flush it at the sink. Had to blow out the blockage-- channeling my mechanic dad! Thanks again!

[@Someguyfrom1973]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Here is my story....The service guy ran through a few attempts to clear the blockage (error code 31), but to no avail. Also mentioning that it would be close to $1000 repairing this and that, deeming it might be better to buy a whole new furnace. He said in the meantime, just drain the lines every day or two. The next day, the black 1" corrugated hose was still holding close to a half gallon of water every day until I drained it manually. Since it was backing up, it led me to believe the lack of water drainage was the main issue, not replacing other pricey parts. After seeing your video, I cleaned out the clog (about 2 teaspoons worth) of debris in the white condensate connection box. Only, I removed all three tubes and removed the whole box from the furnace (it comes out by angling it 45 degrees, downwards) and blew out the debris in the laundry sink, then ran hot water through and let vinegar sit in it for 30 minutes as a preventative measure or to clear out lime scale, etc. Fingers crossed this was the problem! PS: Mine is a Carrier....Bryant and Carrier furnaces are the same company, (or use similar parts). Thanks again for posting this video. I did a video on removing tree sap from your car. two words: hand sanitizer! :)

115,000 views x 200$ service calls... this man is owed 2.3 million dollars.

[@SeanLeach]

My Bryant 90+ furnace seemed to be working fine, then on a really cold day it started cutting out after a running for a bit. LED was blinking code 31, and I found this video. That white condensate box was definitely full of junk. After removing it and cleaning it out, all seems to be well again. Thank you SO much for sharing this video with us. You liked saved me hundreds.

[@HitTheChorus]

I don't usually comment but I will just to give you a big thank you. Not only you saved us a lot of money, you saved me and my wife from freezing overnight as it is currently -20°C here in Toronto. Thanks again. God bless you.

[@jefferyaisthorpe4520]

Thanks for taking the time to do this. My family slept in warmth last night because of you and you saved us a lot of money!

[@mikemiedema7609]

This is a fine video--helped me fix the old Bryant in no time. Thanks! Just to add to the help, the little white plastic trap/box is pretty easy to remove. I sprayed water through mine both ways and really got a ton of gunk out. I'm hoping I'm good for another 15 years now. Thanks again!

[@beisinge]

It's people like you that take the time to show others..... Thanks for putting up the video. Helped me and I'm sure many others.

[@gregtomaski1989]

1/19/2016 I got home later in the evening and noticed the place was getting a little clod and around the base of the furnace was some water. The error code was 31 but it did not show any codes in the manuals I had. After resetting the furnace it would go through the cycles and run about 15 minutes and go down. I found this video watched it and it took about 5 minutes to fix the 13 year old furnace and save me from a cold night in northern Michigan and several hundred dollars. Thanks.

[@davidhaver4529]

You were right on! Had just watched a video that stated about a half dozen things could be wrong with code 31. Confused me! When I saw this video I thought why not check, it does not take much to make sure you have the proper drainage. After pulling off the first hose as shown water poured out, more than on this video. I pulled out my condensation collection box and found it to be completely plugged. You couldn't blow through the box as shown by this gentleman. I used hot water, steam and shaking water back and forth to clear the box. Furnace is working great now!! Thank you, thank you!

[@ryanpowell84]

My furnace started acting up during our polar vortex (extremely cold weather!!) here in Minnesota I researched the code, found this video, and tore into it tonight! So much water came out when I disconnected the drainage tube! Put it all back together and it’s running like a champ. Thanks a ton for the video! You probably saved me a chunk of cash!!!

[@davev6428]

What an awesome video, total lifesaver! I have an almost identical Carrier 92, no error code but lots of water under the furnace. First I thought it was the Condensate pump which hadn't been cleaned in a couple of years and was totally clogged. Took care of that and thought i had fixed the problem. Next day more water under the furnace. Thought I was going to have to put in a service call and spend $300+ but then stumbled on this video. Followed it to the T and problem was identical. Water came gushing out of main hose to trap, which was completely clogged. Took all 3 hoses off and removed the trap to clean it in the sink. Thank you again for making this video!! I see there's a PayPal in honor of Mihail, so sorry for your loss Ellena, my condolences!

[@mpopov69]

Dave V thank you! I am glad the video keeps helping so many people.

[@peterczarnecki3717]

My Bryant didn't get an error code, but was leaking water on the floor around the furnace. The drain hose was dry -- that's funny and an important clue. This video was extremely helpful. This video helped us realize that the condensate trap was clogged, and showed us exactly how to unclog it. Saved us an expensive service call. Checked 12 hours later, no water on the floor around the furnace. Thanks again!

[@kicknotes]

Thanks for the tip on tilting the condensate trap box. While obvious once you see it, I was struggling with determining if the box was actually removable on this unit (some variants seem to have it side-mounted for easier removal). Got the box off, cleaned out a ton of gunk, and got rid of code 31. Thanks again for money saved!

[@JimTheune]

May GOD bless you 10 fold for saving me a service call. You gave me new hope in the world and KZbin!

[@sessiondrummer5793]

@Mpopov69, thanks a LOT for this. Surprisingly the old (20+ years) user manual didn't even state what the error codes meant, including the dreaded 31. Quick fix, and worked perfectly. I ended up taking the whole collection box off, agitating in hot water, shaking until no more sediment came out. Videos just like this, are what makes KZbin worth it. Thank you Sir. Oooorah.

[@lynnsager8473]

Thanx for the vid. Had a furnace man come over.charged me 120 dollars an couldnt find the problem..watched yer video an fixed it myself..thank yoy.

[@dazedconfused4261]

Your the man! Had the exact same issue with my Bryant (code 31) and water on the floor. I was dreading the call to the repair guy and the subsequent bill. Then I saw this video. Followed this step by step and voila! I owe you a beer or a glass of wine or both!

[@brandonneal7220]

You saved me several hundred dollars and an emergency service call. I want to sincerely thank you for posting this video. It absolutely resolved my 18yr old bryant plus90 model. My condenser box had an absolute fistful of filth in it. I completely removed it and fully flushed it. I also used some warm water and a little bleach to kill any remaining internal growth during my flushing. Easy job. Took me 20 minutes. You rock. If you provide me your PayPal ill send you a 10% finders fee of what I saved from the service call. You deserve it. Thank you.

[@zggame]

Followed the instruction to fix my furnace. The condensate trap is completely clogged. I took it out and got it though using vacuum. Thank you so much. Save me a $$$ and earn me a lot of respect from my wife! :)

[@mpopov69]

Glad it worked for you on both counts :)

[@richardlabat5357]

Perfect!! some of these air switches has two contact - one on the front one on the back check both! On my Carrier unit the yellow jumper powered both switches - then there was a brown (signal to control board) and orange (signal to control board) two different outputs signals. Inducer housing pressure and collector box pressure (check all 3 tubing- green, black, and black square tubing vacuumed sensing signal). Blow them out (toward the inducer housing) and you can check them with a OHM meter by gently sucking on the hose and hearing them click. Make sure the hoses are good and tight - a very small vacuum leak can cause them to not work!

[@NoSuffix]

Your DIY help video saved my day! It just solved our Carrier Infinity 96 58MVB furnace code 42 fault. Code 42 is listed as "inducer motor fault", which can cost $1.5K to repair/replace.

[@danmayer5262]

After a very windy couple of days my heat went out. Technician wouldn't have been able to make it out until 4pm tomorrow night. Forecast tomorrow is going to be 18 degrees for a high. Followed this video and had heat again with 30 mins! Thanks so much!!!

[@omarsidd2]

Thankful you made this vid! Very exact and it saved me an expensive and annoying hvac repair visit. I was self-repairing my HVAC (similar model to what you pictured) which was showing this problem intermittently for the entire last year when the weather was cold enough to produce more condensate... Checked/cleaned everything else and replaced the pressure switch...and turns out this was the main problem, years of crud built up in the trap. Thanks again!

[@Harry_Ballsonurphace]

This finally solved a problem I couldn't figure out. It literally only happens in cold weather, same furnace. So helpful. Thanks a million.

[@rstone2002]

My Bryant Evolution Plus 90i was showing System Maintenance with codes 32 and 83 right after I switched from using the a/c to heat. I did this and low and behold it worked. I had a wet floor and the leak was where the outside and inside tubing meets at the furnace. I also releveled the drain pipe. Thanks for posting this video!

[@jose5793]

As a first time home owner I was terrified when I saw water under the furnace. I had the same issue as you showed. The condensate trap was super clogged. It only took a few mins to unclog and put it back together! Awesome video!!

[@ecigaccessory4792]

Your video saved my family. -14 F and furnace stopped working. 1/2 gallon of water was removed. Couldn’t believe it

[@chloechuilee]

Thank you! It’s 2020 and this video still helped us saved $$, learned something new, and stopped children from freezing in the middle off the winter night when the furnace stopped working. Thank you! Thank you!

[@RobertHedrick-nf7ln]

Dude, your a life saver!!! I am in Ohio during this 2022 December polar vortex, my thermometer is reading -5.9 degrees today and I experienced this problem. Thanks to your video and a bit of vacuum hose, due to the pressure switch control line disintegrating when I touched it, my wife is warm and toasty again. Super Thanks Brah!

[@m.snuffy2402]

you just saved me $200. i have a very similar model, and the directions were perfect! thank you for making the video

[@southsideknife]

Bro you saved Christmas!!!

[@kathakulasingam]

Thanks for the tip. Saved me and my family from freezing overnight and money of course. Appreciate the service and keep up the good work!

[@jasonkeith9925]

You are a life saver! I tried your suggestions and my furnace clicked right on after reconnecting the electricity! Thanks for this easy video that saved us $200

[@votblindub]

I just did this. Thanks for posting the video. The manual didn't cover this. Furnace works once again.

[@tammyjacobsen3684]

Thank you! Perfect fix! I kept getting this problem as our winter temps fluctuated. All this cost me was a fresh piece of hose!

[@atif8665]

Thanks for your awesome video instruction. I followed the same steps and able to fix the problem after few attempts. It was clogged. Now furnace is working normal and my house is warm again. You save me a lot of money for fixing this issue. Thanks again :)

[@andythwong]

This video just saved me couple hundred bucks from calling a technican..and enable me to learn more about my furnace.. Thank you so much!!

[@vincel7866]

Hey, thanks for posting this video. I initially thought it was the pressure switch and was ganna drive to a local store to get the part. I then came across your video on google and decided to give it a try. It actually worked. It was the box; not the pressure switch. Your video saved my time and money. Again, thank you !!

[@StarbreakerGenX]

Wow, thanks for the very last blurb about wrapping on the pressure switch. I was troubleshooting a code 31 for hours. Fixed it at 11:30 PM. Was going to call for service in the morning. Thanks!

[@scottyj97]

Thank you, my family will sleep much better in this MN winter tonight! Thank you for posting your PayPal in the description, was happy to send some money for beer! :)

[@alijameelalchalabi1]

Thanks Thanks and thanks you save my day especially today was 32 below zero you did a great job and very simple

[@mcpack007]

Thank you! Thank you! you saved me $$$ as my Bryant went out in a major blizzard on SATURDAY. Your video showed me the exact issue and 10 minutes later we;'re up and running

[@1994trav]

great video i was scratching my head on where my leak was coming from and was about to call my hvac buddy to diagnose..thanks!

[@siderst]

Thanks you for making this video. I had error 31 and when I took the low pressure side vacume hose off the pressure switch I blew into it and heard bubbles down by where the water drain leaves the furnace for the collection chamber and that's when I knew it wasn't draining. Used your technique to clean out box and no more error. Thanks again,

[@karltonzeitz6773]

Thanks for starting off my 2017 with a $200 dollars I get to keep! Cleaned out the clogged drain filter and tubes and everything is good again! The debris in the catch and tubes is nasty stuff. Don't get it on the carpet!

[@ergraham]

I just snaked the condensate drain box and got a little gunk, some water flow, but after watching this I'm gonna go back in for a deeper clean. Thanks dude! Learned a lot from this situation lol

[@PNCPark2k1]

great video, saved me another call to repairman ! Although honestly I found it easier to remove all 3 hoses and tilt trap to take out of furnace, then cleaned it out with kitchen faucet, then replace, but never would have known what to do without this video

[@ak9gun]

I had the same problem with leaking water ...i watched your video and then did same thing and now everything working ..thanks you 👍

[@KurtVonEhr]

Thanks, this solution worked for me. I made it easier on myself and just disconnected the tube between the white box and the inside of the heater, on the end of the tube where it connects to the through hole leading to the exterior drain. I stuck the tube into a shop vac, sealed it with my hand and ran the vacuum until I didn't feel anything being pulled through. The heater is working fine now.

[@JohnAbrahamCA]

Using a vacuum may damage sensors unless you know how you are doing it

[@KurtVonEhr]

Good point, I was considering that as well. It seems to be working fine so far. Not sure if I caused any damage to the filter in the white box by doing that tho.

[@frankwolfe1524]

Thank you for the very informative video... I too replaced the pressure switch many years ago... As for the water leak I am in the process of waiting for a replacement hose from the inducer housing to the p trap... My hose wrotted away resently and is un-repairable except for the original part which can not be purchased here in Canada without a current gas license... Fortunately our American neighbours are not so sticklish... Repair Clinic.Com in Michigan sent out the part a couple of days ago... In the meantime I have rigged up a temporary drain into a bucket, furnace still works good...I know you are going to get a lot of negative comments from people claiming liability issues... It is a normal plumbing job not an electrical nor natural gas problem... Thank you again for your help...Frank

[@jasonsykora5083]

Oh my gosh! Thank you sooo much! It's -20 here and getting very chilly in our home on NEW YEARS! You saved me a very expensive call. Thank you for the great video!

[@67scout73]

Hello and thank you for this video. I see that it was posted 4 years ago. If you can reply briefly, I will gladly buy you an energy bar. I also want to share a way to be a little safer. The repair went very well, I followed step by step as the temperature in the house dropped steadily. The outside temperature was 4 degrees when I started, and up to 12 by the time I finished, and now dropping again as evening approaches. The additional safety procedures I implemented were: 1. Turn on a wet/dry shop vac before loosening any hose clamps, place the vacuum nozzle right next to the clamp, and then loosen and remove hose. The vac sucked in all the water from each of the hoses, there was no spillage at all. and there was a lot of water. 2. As you suggested, I removed the whole canister before blowing out the junk in it. This seemed safer to me to blow it out in the kitchen sink rather than around electric potential. 3. I wore heavy duty rubber gloves while working on the furnace, in addition to disconnecting the electricity. I am grateful for your unselfish video and the money you saved me.

[@bngnyc]

Thank you, I checked couple of things, the flame sensor, the limiter, the pressure switch, then the clogged drain. And it was clogged. Because when I disconnect the pipe at the top, water came pouring out, even though I emptied the electrical pump prior. But when i put everything back in, I still got an error, because I forgot to reconnect one of the lead to the bottom pressure switch. It works now. Thank you again.

This video rocks! I was reading about what my problem was, and couldn't quite figure out how to fix it. As soon as I watched this I had great again. Video was detailed and to the point. Thank-you

[@alimehmood4294]

Worked great... Ive spent several days on this and it turned out to be this issue.. for info I was getting error 3-1 or 31 or 3 short flashes and 1 long flash which is an error for pressure switch. One thing to notice is the minor water leak. Great video

[@wturkovich]

Great instructions! This fixed by problem. A bunch of debris was cleared from the trap. Thank you. You saved me a bunch of money.

[@noahpruzek4789]

100 thumbs up from me. Followed your instructions and fixed my furnace for my family on a 15 degree F morning and saved me $$$ for sure. I'll be sending you a tip on paypal! Thank you

[@jasonsmith2487]

Thank you for saving me a service call today!! It’s 10 degrees and on a Friday at 4:30 in the afternoon. 👊👊

[@sowdiem6047]

Squeeze the two tabs on the collection box and pull down while tipping it foreword and it easily removes. Fill with soapy water and shake vigorously. Usually moldy chunks come out, rinse thoroughly and replace.

[@wredshoe]

Great instructions! Had to run the furnace in Central Alberta in June - sad...so much for global warming! :) I thought I'd have to remove the collector box on my furnace to unclog and clean it but your video kept the repair simple and effective. Thank you very much!

[@sogman7265]

This was pretty impressive for a homeowner to do this to their own 90% furnace. It is not how we professionals do it though. I did this exact job today on this exact furnace. You have to pull out the white condensate trap. Pull the drain tube, pressure switch tube and the little rubber 90 off of it and pinch the two clamps on the cond trap to release it and take it out of the bottom and go rinse it out in the sink with hot water flushing it both ways and also blocking different ports so the water flushes it better and a few times get it full of water in the sink and then shake the condensate trap up and down vigorously to loosen the crud inside. then flush again until it flows clear and clean no matter which way you run water through it. Another thing is...don't ypou dare stick anything inside of that pressure switch to loosen that stuck membrane like you said! if it sticks, replace it! If the pressure switch ever gets water in it even once...it needs replaced, period. Pressure switches are not that much. Poking into it is joe handyman stuff, don't do it! Otherwise, impressive video!

[@darrenweight5972]

Great video! And you did it all with one hand! Thank you for the info. It's unfortunate that people have given this a thumbs down…

[@darrenweight5972]

Well--- A lot of it with one hand… Regardless thank you! We will be warm tonight!

[@sogman7265]

I didn't give it a thumbs down, but there's a much better way to do that. That condensate trap copme out pretty easy and shold be flushed out and backflushed in the sink and shake well! it gets a lot more gunk out of it. and be careful not to drip a bunch of water onto your control board! This man was not being very careful about that! but it was still pretty impressive for a homeowner!

[@LuisA-wq7dx]

Just did this tonight -20 in Michigan...worked like a charm!! Thanks for the great video boss man...this was a life saver!!!

[@kgx29]

Just what I needed to find to solve my error code 31. It worked. I took that whole dern collector box out because it was totally plugged up with oily gray mud. Washed it out with detergent. Put everything back, and now I have a happy furnace. I had just installed a new draft inducer the day before, so when it stopped working again I was so frustrated. Can’t wait to see what goes wrong next. lol

[@mpopov69]

kgx29 What could go wrong? On both my units I had to also replace the pressure switch: apparently the membrane ages or something gets dirty or who knows what, but over time they started to get stuck and cause the same error code. And on both units I had to replace the capacitors at the condensers outside - they had swollen and the motors could not start: these are also easy fixes and I found the caps locally for about $20 or so. I will make a video about that when the weather warm-up- The caps tend to blow in the summer when the A/C is working (the pressure switches and clogging happens in the cold months). If you have not had to deal with these things yet, be on the lookout : (.

[@kgx29]

You are awesome! so far so good on the pressure switch. I live up north and never run the AC, but this is good info if we get a bad summer and I decide to run it. Btw, I decided to re-route the drainage tubes to the left side exterior position. Found the manual to the Bryant online and it shows that option. Anyway, bought the OEM drain tube on ebay. The exterior position will make it easier to keep clean/shorter lines. Also my condensate pump is on the left, so it is much better all in all!

[@bryshef]

NIIIICE!! You just saved me at least $300! There was about a half gallon of water backed up in there...totally clogged. I had to use my air compressor to blow the junk out out of the trap, and the furnace fired right up! My family cheered and showered me with thanks and praise. I said "Don't thank me, thank mpopov69!" Thanks for the video!

[@mpopov69]

Bryan Shefchik Happy it worked! As the weather cools off, furnaces get fired-up again for the winter, and people start to get that issue ...

[@DJ_Driven]

Awesome video used it to help fix exact problem in a Carrier brand furnace that looked identical to the furnace in the video. Only extra I did was to remove the reservoir, spray some CLR mold & mildew cleaner and let that soak for a good 10 to 15 minutes. Flushed out with a hot water to get all the gunk out.

[@jcciesielski3605]

Thanks for making that video! On a different video, I learned that you can lightly file off scorch marks on a flame sensor to avoid it misreading the temperature. By combining the power of this video and that video, I will not have to wear 3 jackets to bed! HELL YES!!! A WARM TOILET SEAT!!!!! BLISS!!!!!

[@aclj21]

Thank you for your tutorial. It worked for me, beautifully. When I turned it back on, the red light was solid right away. You saved me some money.

[@JavyonVISION]

Thanks for your help! It was 10 degrees Fahrenheit outside when I saw that the furnace was not working. It's back up and running after cleaning out the trap as you showed.

[@sevenbunglows]

Thank you, that exactly was the problem in my Bryant. As soon as removed the pipe ton of water drained out. Cleaned and put it back on my code 31 is gone and furnace working just fine.

[@mpopov69]

Thank you so much!!! I watched your video and fixed my furnace, I have the same brand furnace, the problem is the fan blowing but no heat , after removal the water in the tube, the furnace worked !your video is so helpful and saved me a lot of money! Also I learned new things about my furnace

[@moman5871]

Thanks for the video, replace a few parts before narrowing it down to this box being plugged, heater working good now.

[@davidjewett9968]

Thank you very much for the video. I had the code 31 problem with my Bryant 340AAC furnace and this fixed my problem. I disconnected all of the hoses and removed the tank. There was a lot of debris in the trap. After cleaning it out my problem was solved.

[@bilbobaggins5704]

Same problem here. My large hose on the top of the trap let out about a gallon of water before it started to slow down. I removed the white condensate cup. (Remove hoses) depressed the two clips on top side and it will com out the bottom. The large hose routing inside the cup-trap was clogged. You have to put your fingers over the other two inlets to find this out. Push air or water in from the outlet at the bottom and cover those other two to clean.

[@mpopov69]

Glad it helped both of you!

[@derekminkler6626]

This worked great!! Thank you for posting! House is warm now!

[@philward2529]

Exactly. I have a Bryant 90 and the collection box being plugged was the culprit. Blew it out and presto - it's fixed!!!

[@rodneyallgire6864]

great video, i have this exact furnace. Mine has been great for 20 years. I am going to clean this box soon. I did have one pressure switch go bad and the main board went bad once. Not bad for 20 plus years.

[@glenarnould657]

Beauty video. I love the straight to the point no words approach

[@glenarnould657]

I should add that my trap was also plugged and there was an alarming amount of water in the hoses and inducer. I used an air hose to blow it out.

[@paulweiner3041]

i read the reviews(basically said piece of crap out of 50 reviews) on my Keeprite High Efficiency Furnance. this problem exactly why my furnance would not work clogged drainage. Not anything else. . The poor owners changed everything under the sun and within a month stopped working as per the Service Repair Asshole. It was just clogged. So there is nothing wrong with my furnace. Man feel so sorry for the folks have spent more than the furnace in repairs . When if you can get the door of the front of your furnace you can fix it. No more 8 deg cel nights. i have to find those reviews and at this fix . Thanks yes 200 dollars richer in 2017

[@albertochavez499]

Thanks for the video, mine ended up being a damaged small black pressure hose going back into the main assembly which is located all the way on the right. It looks like the hose comes out from the back of the fan, I could not see it and probably was stressed and forced at the factory and it eventually ripped at the clamp. Luckily the furnace came with a spare hose that has two barbed ends for coupling and I was able to cut it and fix the problem. I used your video to troubleshoot and make sure nothing was clogged.

[@inayourfacefursure]

Perfect fix for my issue. Thanks for taking the time to post this video.

[@MrJohnOKeefe]

Thank you for the video. On my Bryant Plus 90 unit i noticed that the black hose that is further up the line for the condensation trap appears not to be plugged into anything. It has a sticker on it that reads " UPFLOW or HORIZONTAL Left application must be plugged.". It looks like there is a square black box that it may have to be connected to. The sticker also reads " DOWNFLOW or HORIZONTAL RIGHT applications-Remove plug from tube end and attached to condensation trap." One section of the tubing is connected to the trap but the other side is not. This is on both of my units that are close to 14+ years old and really never had any major issue with. Should these tubes be connected somewhere? Thank you.

Great video! Thanks for putting it out here! I had to deal with this same situation today and followed all the steps. It appears to have fixed my problem. Thx again!

Thanks for this. I had a clogged trap. Didn't know until I replaced a broken black drain line with clear tubing. It was then that I saw water backing up. I then disconnected the switch tube and blew thru the large fitting of the trap. Could barely blow at first, then added water and blew hard. After a while, the blog broke free and the unit passed water freely.

I removed the hose and hardly any water came out. Took off the pressure switch and messed with it for awhile and tested it...seemed to be stuck. Made it work again and all is well.
