How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power. Water around electrical components is hazardous.

  • Locate leak source: Remove the front panel and inspect the condensate trap, hoses, and collector for visible leaks.
  • Clear blockage: Disconnect the condensate hose and blow through it to remove clogs. Flush the trap with water.
  • Secure connections: Reattach hoses firmly and ensure they slope continuously to the drain.
  • Check for cracks: If the trap or collector is cracked, it must be replaced.

Significant internal corrosion or repeated leaks should be evaluated by a Termet service technician.
