Possible Causes
Blocked condensate trap, Frozen or kinked condensate pipe, Sludge buildup in drain line, Incorrect condensate pipe slope
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Condensate is mildly acidic. Wear gloves and eye protection when handling.
- Inspect trap: Locate the condensate trap under the heat exchanger. Remove and clean it of debris and sludge. Refill with clean water before reinstalling.
- Check drain line: Ensure the condensate pipe is not frozen, kinked, or blocked. Flush with warm water if necessary.
- Verify slope: The pipe should slope continuously downward to the drain to prevent standing water.
Persistent drainage issues may require rerouting the condensate line by a professional.
