Possible Causes

Water inlet valve not closing fully, Household plumbing backflow, Siphoning from drain

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off water supply valves when diagnosing leaks.

  • Observe with valves closed: Turn off both hot and cold faucets. If water no longer accumulates, the inlet valve is likely seeping.
  • Replace inlet valve: Install a new Costway-compatible water inlet valve assembly.
  • Check drain hose height: Ensure proper installation to prevent backflow from the drain system.
