NewAir
Condensate Drainage Failure
Unit leaks water onto the floor from the base or front.

Possible Causes
Clogged condensate drain channel, blocked drain hose, cracked internal drain pan, misaligned unit (not level)
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before tilting or opening it. Water and electricity are a dangerous combination.
Steps:
- Level the unit: Ensure the air conditioner is installed with the correct tilt (slightly toward the outside for window units) so water flows to the drain.
- Clear drain path: Access the condensate drain tray and channel. Use a small brush or pipe cleaner to remove slime, algae, or debris from the drain hole.
- Flush drain hose: If your NewAir model has a drain hose, disconnect it and flush with warm water to clear blockages.
- Inspect drain pan: Check the internal condensate drain pan for cracks or rust-through. Replace if leaking.
- Reassemble and test: After cleaning and repairs, run the unit and monitor for leaks.
