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.
