Possible Causes

Cracked or misaligned water bucket, Blocked internal drain channel, Leaking or disconnected drain hose (continuous drain mode), Pump reservoir overflow in pump models

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit and mop up any spilled water to prevent slipping and electrical hazards.

Steps:

  • Remove the water bucket and inspect for cracks or damage. Replace if any leaks are found.
  • Check the internal drain spout where water drips into the bucket. Clear any slime or debris blocking the opening.
  • If using a continuous drain hose, ensure it is firmly attached, not cracked, and slopes downward without kinks. Tighten any hose clamps.
  • For pump-equipped models, inspect the pump reservoir and outlet hose for blockages. Clean and flush with warm water.
  • Reassemble and test with a small amount of water poured into the evaporator drain pan to confirm proper flow into the bucket or drain hose.
