Had a fire under the evaporator coil and mulling my options. My air conditioning was not working and will not be missed if I remove it all.
For sure I need to clean out underneath that area as that's where the fire was.
For months I had been hearing a slight rubbing noise when putting on the heater fan, still not sure if this is connected to this issue.
During the fire, I jimmied the plastic around the evaporator coil. That plastic is ruined on the passenger side from melting. I'm still not sure, but might have poked a hole in the coil as well when I was using the only tool available, a crowbar to get at the area to douse with water.
Can anyone point to a video or .... as to my options here including complete removal of the coil and whatever else would have to be removed.
Thanks,
Just looking for a little direction.
