- 2. Inspect for kinks and clogs:
- Straighten any kinks in the hose.
- Disconnect and flush the hose with water to clear blockages.

- Remove the bucket and inspect the drain outlet fitting.
- Clear any slime or debris blocking the outlet.
- 4. Secure connection:
- Reattach the hose firmly to the drain port, using a clamp if necessary.
