well to get humidity in the home the drier was vented into the return duct thru pvc pipe to the air handler..the filter is located at the bottom of the air handler and so is the a coil it also has a hot water coil located at the top...wonder if the a coil is plugged?

Why did the person go though all the hassle to make this "Box" on the return duct? Was this box suppse to be something else as well??
S/he could of saved the hassle just cut the white pvc deal into the return...
I had a guy one time come in and wanted stuff to hook up his dryer to the return, and I told him it's a big NO!! Unless he wanted to call for service every 6 months..

seems like they could have had a humidifier installed for the price of that rigged up spaceguard/plywood/drier-vent receiver thing...
