We see it happen in attics where someone was moving boxes in and out of an attic and bumped the unit or pan. Typical items that clog condensation lines are algae muck and trash like insulation from the attic. Where is the evaporator coil. Additionally if the capacitor is shared by the ac compressor as in the case of a dual capacitor your unit may experience further damage since the compressor may overheat.

If your air handler is in an attic it should have a secondary pan to catch the water in case the primary condensation pan or condensation drain line gets clogged. Do not bypass the safety switch or you could have a huge water mess in your home. If the attic fan isn t turning on it could be an electrical issue a problem with the thermostat or the motor of the fan that s not working. Simply turn it back on and you should.

This can also happen if the ac filters are blocked by some furniture placed right in front of the system. Check the screen on the thermostat.

If these items do not solve your problem call an hvac service professional to help. If your air conditioner is not working and the furnace or air handler is located in your attic you will need to inspect the drain pain located directly underneath the evaporator coil in your air conditioning system. If your ac drain pan is full it may have triggered the float switch. See those copper lines going into your hvac system.
