Possible Causes
Cold water lines sweating, Inadequate insulation on pipes, Improper condensate drainage (condensing models), High humidity in installation area
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF power before working near electrical components. Moisture can cause corrosion and shorts.
- Identify source: Determine if moisture is from pipe condensation, condensate system, or external leaks.
- Insulate pipes: Wrap cold water lines with foam insulation to reduce sweating.
- Check condensate system: On condensing models, ensure the condensate trap and drain line are clear and properly sloped.
- Improve ventilation: Increase airflow in the installation area to reduce humidity. Use a dehumidifier if necessary.
- Protect electronics: If moisture has reached the control board or wiring, have a technician inspect for corrosion and damage.
