Possible Causes

Cracked water tank, Misaligned tank, Blocked internal drain channel, Leaking hose connection for continuous drain

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

Steps:

  • Inspect tank: Remove the water tank and check for cracks or damage. Fill it at a sink to see if it leaks.
  • Check tank seating: Ensure the tank slides fully into place and engages the internal seals.
  • Clean drain channel: Locate the drain outlet from the evaporator tray to the tank. Use a flexible brush or pipe cleaner to remove slime or debris.
  • Continuous drain: If using a hose, ensure it is firmly attached, slopes downward continuously, and is not blocked.
  • Replace damaged parts: Replace a cracked tank or worn tank gasket as needed.
