Possible Causes
Partially blocked condensate trap, incorrect pipe fall, air lock in condensate line, undersized pipe causing backing up
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Condensate is mildly acidic; wear gloves and eye protection.
- Inspect pipe run: Ensure the condensate pipe has a continuous fall to the drain and is not sagging or back-falling.
- Clean trap: Remove and clean the condensate trap, flushing with clean water.
- Check termination: Ensure the pipe discharges correctly into a suitable drain and is not submerged or blocked.
- Technician tasks: If gurgling persists, a professional should review the condensate installation and modify as needed.
