Possible Causes

Bucket not seated correctly, Continuous drain hose installed incorrectly, Faulty bucket position switch

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before adjusting the bucket or accessing switches.

Steps:

  • 1. Reseat bucket: Remove the water bucket completely and reinstall it, making sure it is pushed fully into place until it clicks.
  • 2. Check drain hose: If using continuous drain, ensure the hose is properly connected and not pushing the bucket out of position.
  • 3. Inspect bucket switch: Locate the bucket position switch inside the cabinet. Manually press it and listen for a click. Test continuity with a multimeter.
  • 4. Adjust or replace switch: If the switch is misaligned, adjust its mounting so the bucket actuator fully engages it. If electrically faulty, replace with a Camry-compatible bucket switch.

Tip: Mark the correct bucket seating position on the cabinet to help users insert it properly.
