How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Disconnect power and shut off water supply before inspecting leaks. Use towels to avoid slipping.

  • Inspect inlet connections: Check the water supply line and compression fittings for drips. Tighten or replace as needed.
  • Check reservoir and hoses: Remove panels and look for cracks or splits in the plastic reservoir and rubber hoses. Replace damaged parts.
  • Verify drain function: Pour water into the bin and reservoir and confirm it drains freely. Clear any clogs in the drain hose or floor drain.
  • Examine inlet valve: Look for water seeping from the valve body even when off. Replace the valve if leaking.

When to call a technician: If the leak source is not obvious or involves internal components you cannot access safely, contact a service professional.
