Possible Causes

No non-return valve in Maidaid drain line, Blocked sink trap causing backflow, Incorrect hose height, Faulty internal check valve

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before working on plumbing.

  • Inspect sink trap: Clean the sink trap and ensure water flows freely to prevent back-pressure.
  • Check hose routing: Ensure the Maidaid drain hose has a high loop and is not submerged in standing water in the trap.
  • Fit non-return valve: Install a suitable non-return valve in the drain line if not already present.
  • Internal check valve: If fitted, inspect and clean the Maidaid internal check valve near the pump outlet. Replace if it does not close properly.
