Leaking Trane hyperion evap coil, no replacement available

[truck12]

I found a leaking coil in a GAM5 3 ton, 3 pounds low. The customers (elderly couple) purchased the extended parts and labor warranty. Trouble is Trane is screwing them, telling us there is no replacement available anywhere.

We have been a dealer for 25+ years. What a bunch of bull ****.

What do you do when a big company like Trane ****s you over?

by a new gam5. pull the coil out and swap them. return the unit and say the coil leaks.

my old residential dealer let me rip a new furnace apart because the warranty parts werent available.

X2. This is standard practice around my parts.

If your TM is worth anything he will find a coil or have one pulled off of the factory line and have it over nighted.

Does it matter?
The center on the bottom right side, vertical.

No where near a field connection, not physical damage, theres also oil in the pan.

We've swapped the coils as well. Doesn't seem right except you're trying to please a customer and big brother (Trane) won't back you up.

If your TM won't take care of you, time to change brands? But then will you have any better luck with another distributor? They all have their problems. Did they say how long a wait it is? Looks like our DSO is out too or maybe never did stock any. They have their backup or as cheap as 410 is these days, top them off for now.

Checked our A-S supplier, not in their system so likely they've never had to order one.

That's why I say. Gas them up until a new one can be gotten. I had a Lennox air handler a few years ago, it took 5 weeks to get a replacement coil. I was going there every week and a half and gassing the guy up. Of course the old bastard accused us of stealing $60K of watches from his house about a month later. That's what you get for helping somebody.

i think trane has forgotten how to make a good coil .

Next time when you have to get a new system, I wouldn't buy Trane, there are many other brands for residential.

Was curious. I haven't found/heard/seen one leaking yet.

I have had more leaks from all other brands then trane residential.

I also see a lot more older tranes still chuggin along then any other units.

I have seen a trane hyperion coil leak don't recall where the leak was but it was pretty big. The system lost 5 pounds in a day.

I called our TM to report the problem and how i was not pleased as they say this new air handlers are best the things since silced bread. He had it over nighted to me and the customer was up and going next day.

When all else fails call your TM
If he can't make it right inform him you will be looking for another MFG that will.
