How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power and shut off water. Use caution on wet floors to avoid slipping.
- Inspect drain connections: Check the bin drain and machine drain hoses for tight clamps and proper routing. Tighten or replace clamps as needed.
- Clear drain line: Flush the drain hose with warm water to remove clogs. Ensure the hose has a continuous downward slope.
- Check reservoir and pan: Look for cracks in the reservoir or drain pan. Replace any cracked components.
- Examine inlet fittings: Inspect the water inlet valve and tubing for drips. Tighten compression fittings or replace tubing if damaged.
- Test after repair: Restore water and power, then observe a full cycle for leaks.
