Furnace leaks water around the base during heating operation

Safety first: Turn OFF power before working around water and electrical components.

• Locate source: Remove panels and observe where water is originating: condensate trap, drain hose, or vent connection.
• Tighten connections: Push condensate hoses fully onto fittings and secure with clamps if needed.
• Clear drain: Disconnect the drain line and flush with warm water to remove slime and debris. Ensure proper downward slope to the drain.
• Check trap: Inspect the plastic condensate trap for cracks or leaks. Replace with a Kelvinator-approved trap if damaged.
• Vent slope: Verify that horizontal vent runs slope back toward the furnace or drain as specified by Kelvinator to prevent condensate pooling.
