Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit and mop up any spilled water to avoid slipping.
Steps:
- 1. Inspect bucket: Remove the water bucket and check for cracks or damage. Ensure it seats properly when reinstalled.
- 2. Clean drain channel: Locate the internal drain spout where water drips into the bucket. Use a small brush or pipe cleaner to remove slime or debris. Flush with warm water if accessible.
- 3. Check drain pan: Remove the front/rear cover to inspect the plastic evaporator drain pan under the coil. Look for cracks or misalignment.
- 4. Continuous drain setup: If using a hose, ensure it slopes downward continuously with no kinks. Confirm the hose connection to the drain outlet is tight and sealed.
- 5. Replace damaged parts: Replace a cracked bucket or drain pan with Camry-specific parts.
Note: Regular cleaning of the drain path prevents mold and clogs that cause leaks.
