Answer:

Several factors contribute to water in the drain pan, such as temperature setting, defrost cycles, food storage, and ambient room temperatures or humidity levels.

• Some factors that can contribute to an excess amount of water in the drain pan include lack of condenser cleaning, torn gaskets, and sealed system issues.
• It is normal for water to be in the drain pan. However, the drain pan should never overflow with water.
• Amount of water in the drain pan varies by humidity, temperature, and how much the unit is running.
• Drain pans can be half-full regularly, which is not an issue.
• Drain pan condensation evaporates as the unit runs, so it is not necessary to empty it regularly.
