Possible Causes

High humidity in room, cold inlet water, insufficient room ventilation, minor seepage from fittings mistaken for condensation

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Ensure no electrical components are exposed to moisture.

  • Check all pipe joints, the safety group, and the flange area for actual leaks. If none are found, the moisture is likely condensation.
  • Improve room ventilation or reduce humidity (e.g., by using an extractor fan).
  • Insulate exposed cold water pipes to reduce condensation.
  • If moisture appears specifically around electrical covers, remove power and inspect for leaks; repair any found before restoring power.
