How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before working on the drain system.
- Manual bail-out: Use a cup or sponge to remove standing water so you can access the filters.
- Clean filters and sump: Remove and clean all filters and clear debris from the sump.
- Check hose and sink: Disconnect the drain hose from the sink trap, clear blockages, and ensure the sink drain is free-flowing.
- Test drain pump: Run a cancel/drain function. If the pump hums but does not move water, or is silent, replace the drain pump.
