Possible Causes

Drain hose not seated properly, Hose routed uphill or kinked, Internal drain adapter not installed correctly, Clogged hose or drain outlet

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug before disconnecting hoses.

Steps:

  • Check hose connection: Ensure the hose is firmly attached to the drain outlet on the back of the Frigidaire unit.
  • Verify slope: The hose must run downhill all the way to the drain. Eliminate any loops or upward runs.
  • Clear clogs: Disconnect the hose and flush it with water. Use a small brush if needed.
  • Inspect internal adapter: Some models require a plug or adapter to be removed or installed for continuous drain. Confirm it is configured per the manual.
  • Test without bucket: If the design allows, test drainage with the bucket removed and a pan under the outlet to confirm flow.
