Possible Causes

Blocked drain filter, Clogged drain hose, Faulty drain pump, Blocked air gap (if fitted)

Safety first: Turn off power and be cautious of sharp debris in the sump.

Clean internal filters: Remove and thoroughly clean the Sharp filter set.
Inspect sump: Check for glass, bones, or labels blocking the drain inlet.
Check external hose and trap: Detach the drain hose from the sink trap or air gap and clear any blockage. Ensure the hose is not kinked.
Test drain pump: Run a drain-only function. If the pump hums but does not pump, replace the drain pump.
