Possible Causes

Condensate not draining properly, blocked upper drain, float switch triggered, kinked drain hose

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off and unplug the unit before draining.

Steps to clear P2:

  • 1. Identify mode: Check if the unit was in heat or dehumidify mode; P2 often relates to condensate level in these modes.
  • 2. Drain water: Locate the appropriate drain outlet (often higher on the back of the unit for heat mode) and attach a hose or place a container under it. Remove the cap and allow water to drain fully.
  • 3. Check hose routing: Ensure any attached hose slopes downward continuously to the drain and is not submerged in standing water.
  • 4. Inspect for clogs: If drainage is slow, gently blow through the hose or use a flexible brush to clear obstructions.
  • 5. Reset and test: Replace the cap, plug the unit back in, and restart. P2 should disappear.
