My float switch is at the top of the drain line, outside the air handler unit. The float is within clear plastic so I can see if there is any water present.
Are there systems where the float and the switch are within the air handler and not visible? If that was the case then it would be possible that the line outside the house is clear but a plug has formed within the unit where it would not be noticed.
A post above this mentioned no obvious clog but vacuuming the line corrected the issue. If the float was not visible then perhaps there was a clog above the flush-out connection on the drain line. The line would appear clear, flushing would not help, but vacuuming might dislodge the clog and fix the problem.
