How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Unplug the unit and shut off the water supply before inspecting for leaks.

  • Inspect supply line: Check the water line from the shutoff valve to the inlet valve for cracks, loose fittings, or kinks. Tighten or replace as needed.
  • Check inlet valve and connections: Look for drips around the valve body and compression fittings. Replace the valve if it leaks from the body.
  • Examine reservoir and internal tubing: Remove front panels and inspect the reservoir and internal hoses for cracks or loose clamps.
  • Verify drain system: Ensure the drain hose is securely attached, not clogged, and properly routed to the drain. Clean any blockages.
  • Dry and test: After repairs, dry the area, restore water and power, and observe a full cycle for any remaining leaks.
