Possible Causes

Condensate tank nearing capacity, restricted internal drain path, float switch calibration issue

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before draining.

Steps to address P2:

  • Drain condensate: Follow the same procedure as for P1: remove the lower drain plug and drain water into a pan.
  • Clean drain path: If P2 recurs quickly, flush the internal drain path with a small amount of warm water and a mild vinegar solution to remove algae or scale (avoid spilling inside the electronics).
  • Check float movement: Ensure the float moves freely and is not obstructed by dirt or foreign objects.
  • Continuous drain option: Consider connecting a continuous drain hose to the designated port and routing it to a floor drain to prevent future P2 alerts.
