Possible Causes

Blocked condensate trap, Frozen or kinked condensate drain line, Improper condensate trap priming, Faulty condensate level switch (if equipped)

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power. Condensate is mildly acidic; wear gloves and eye protection.

  • Inspect trap: Locate the NTI condensate trap at the base of the heat exchanger. Remove it carefully and check for sludge, debris, or scale. Clean thoroughly with water.
  • Check drain line: Follow the plastic drain tubing to its termination. Ensure it slopes continuously downward, is not frozen, kinked, or blocked.
  • Prime trap: Reinstall the trap and fill it with clean water to ensure proper sealing before restarting the boiler.
  • Level switch: If your model has a condensate float or level switch, test it for free movement and continuity. Replace if stuck or defective.
