Ebac
Continuous Drain Bypass Failure
Continuous drain not working; water still fills the tank

Possible Causes
Drain hose not installed correctly, Hose outlet higher than drain port, Blocked drain spigot, Internal diverter not engaging
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit and empty the tank before adjustments.
Steps:
- 1. Hose routing: Ensure the drain hose is connected firmly to the Ebac drain outlet and that the hose runs downhill all the way to the drain point.
- 2. Remove kinks: Straighten any kinks or loops in the hose that could trap air or water.
- 3. Clear spigot: Remove the hose and inspect the drain spigot for debris or scale. Clean thoroughly.
- 4. Internal diverter: Some models use an internal plug or diverter that must be removed or repositioned for continuous drain. Confirm it is set correctly per the user manual.
- 5. Test: Reconnect and pour a small amount of water into the evaporator tray (if accessible) or run the unit and confirm water exits via the hose instead of filling the tank.
