Possible Causes

Clogged internal drain, kinked drain hose, frozen drain line, failed drain pump (if equipped)

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Unplug the unit before clearing drains.

Steps to restore drainage:

  • Clear internal drain: Locate the drain hole at the bottom of the bin or cabinet. Use a small brush or pipe cleaner to remove debris.
  • Check drain hose: Inspect the hose from the internal drain to the external drain or pump. Straighten kinks and ensure proper downward slope.
  • Defrost drain: If the drain is frozen, unplug the unit and allow ice to melt, or use warm (not boiling) water to thaw the line.
  • Test drain pump: For pumped-drain models, listen for pump operation. If silent and water does not evacuate, test and replace the drain pump.
