OEM Goodman Vertical Drain Pan for AEPF183016CA — B1756017L

The Goodman B1756017L is a genuine OEM vertical condensate drain pan engineered as a direct-fit replacement for the AEPF183016CA air handler and the closely related ARUF036 and ARUF042 models. The drain pan collects condensate that forms on the evaporator coil and channels it to the drain line. Once the original pan cracks, warps, or clogs with biofilm, water overflows into the cabinet and onto your ceiling or floor — one of the most common causes of HVAC water damage. An exact-fit OEM pan restores reliable, leak-free condensate management.

Molded to the factory coil footprint, this pan aligns the drain ports correctly so the slope drains fully with no standing water.

OEM vs. Generic

OEM (this part): Exact mold, correct drain-port location and pitch, guaranteed coil fit and proper drainage. Generic: Universal pans rarely match the coil footprint, leading to misaligned ports and standing-water overflow. For a drain pan, OEM fit is critical to prevent leaks.

Installation Difficulty

Moderate. Requires pulling the coil/cabinet panel, sliding out the old pan, transferring the drain fittings, and reseating the coil. Have a wet/dry vac and basic hand tools ready. Allow 45–75 minutes. Disconnect power and clear the drain line before servicing.
