How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit and shut off the water supply. Mop up any standing water to prevent slipping.
- Step 1 – Inspect external connections: Check the water supply hose at the rear inlet for tightness and cracks. Reseat or replace as needed.
- Step 2 – Examine reservoir and internal tubing: Remove covers and look for drips while the reservoir fills. Replace any cracked reservoir or tubing.
- Step 3 – Check drain hose: Ensure the drain hose is firmly attached and not split. Replace if brittle or leaking.
- Step 4 – Verify water level control: If the reservoir overflows, inspect and clean the water level float or sensor. Replace if it fails to shut off fill.
