Norlake 107778 Evaporator Drain Pan Assembly

Norlake 107778 Evaporator Drain Pan Assembly

The Norlake 107778 evaporator drain pan assembly is a commercial replacement part identified by the manufacturer reference shown below. It collects condensate or defrost water and directs it into the designed water-handling path. Correct identification matters because components that share a general appearance can differ in mounting, electrical characteristics, dimensions or operating function.

Compare the outlet location, mounting tabs and slope. The pan dimensions alone do not establish whether the existing drain connection will line up.

Use the equipment model, serial number and existing part identification together when selecting this evaporator drain pan. The listed specifications describe the researched reference; they do not establish universal compatibility across Norlake equipment. Inspect the related system before ordering so a separate wiring, alignment, airflow or drainage problem is not mistaken for failure of this component.

Function & Application

This evaporator drain pan collects condensate or defrost water and directs it into the designed water-handling path. Its role should be checked against the equipment parts diagram and service documentation, including any production changes affecting the assembly.

Compatibility & Ordering Reference

A complete model compatibility list has not been established for this part. Confirm the part-number reference against the equipment parts diagram and serial-number range before ordering.

Do not assume that another part number supersedes this reference unless the equipment manufacturer documents that replacement for the specific unit.

Symptoms to Investigate

Reasons to inspect this component include cracks, corrosion, distorted mounting points, or leakage around the pan or drain outlet. These symptoms are diagnostic clues, not proof that this part has failed.

Technician Diagnostic Checks

• Identify the source of the leak before condemning the pan
• Inspect the outlet, tube connection and supports
• Check drain blockage and cabinet level
• Compare the outlet position and mounting geometry

Document the findings before replacing parts. Use the equipment service procedure and correct test equipment; component appearance alone does not establish a service diagnosis.

Before You Order

• Confirm manufacturer reference 107778 and the complete equipment model and serial number.
• Compare the existing part with the listed specifications and mounting arrangement.
• Compare the outlet location, mounting tabs and slope. The pan dimensions alone do not establish whether the existing drain connection will line up.
• Verify whether related fasteners, fittings, keys, sensors or other service items are included or required separately.
• Confirm the supplied item and its provenance before releasing the order.

Installation & Return-to-Service Checks

Service should be performed by personnel qualified for the equipment and component. Isolate relevant power and support moving parts before disassembly. Record the original mounting, connections and routing, then follow the equipment-specific service procedure.

Check for secure seating and unobstructed drainage. Observe the next water-handling cycle for leakage or standing water outside the intended area.

Maintenance & Related Components

During routine service, inspect the surrounding mounting points and the related components identified in the diagnostic checks. Correct the cause of wear, moisture, vibration or misalignment before fitting a replacement. Use cleaning and maintenance methods specified for the equipment and materials.
