Possible Causes

Clogged drain hose, Blocked sump or filter, Garbage disposer knockout not removed, Failed drain pump

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power. Expect water spillage when disconnecting hoses.

  • Clean filters: Remove and rinse the coarse and fine filters. Clear any debris from the sump opening.
  • Check disposer connection: If recently installed to a garbage disposer, ensure the drain knockout plug was removed.
  • Inspect drain hose: Detach the hose at the sink/disposer and check for clogs. Flush with hot water.
  • Test drain pump: Access the pump from the bottom. Check for obstructions and test for continuity. Replace the pump if it hums but does not move water or tests open.
