Possible Causes

Cracked or misaligned water tank, Blocked internal drain channel, Loose hose on internal pump, Continuous drain hose not sealed or sloped correctly

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

Steps:

  • Inspect water tank: Remove the tank and check for cracks, warping, or missing gaskets. Replace the water collection tank if damaged.
  • Clean drain channel: Look inside the unit where water drips from the evaporator into the tank. Clear any slime or debris from the drain channel and outlet.
  • Continuous drain setup: If using a hose, ensure it is firmly attached to the drain spigot, sloping downward, and not blocked. Seal connections as recommended by Meaco.
  • Pump models: On pump-equipped units, inspect the pump tray and hoses for leaks or loose clamps. Tighten or replace hoses as needed.
  • Test: After cleaning and reassembly, run the unit and monitor for leaks.
