Possible Causes

Leaking heat exchanger, Loose union fittings, Faulty automatic air vent, Leaking safety relief valve

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power. If leak is significant, close isolation valves to the furnace and protect surrounding areas from water damage.

  • Identify source: Remove the front panel and use a flashlight to trace the leak. Check around the primary heat exchanger, pump unions, and valves.
  • Tighten fittings: Carefully tighten accessible union nuts and compression fittings, but do not overtighten.
  • Check relief valve: If water is discharging from the safety relief valve outlet, system pressure may be too high or the expansion vessel may be faulty.
  • Dry and monitor: Dry the area and monitor for further leakage.

Leaks from the heat exchanger or safety devices should be addressed by a Kospel service technician; component replacement may be required.
