Possible Causes

Loose condensate trap connections, Cracked condensate hose, Incorrect flue slope causing condensate backflow, Failed flue joint seals

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power. Condensate is mildly acidic; wear gloves and eye protection.

  • Check condensate joints: Inspect the trap and hoses for loose clamps or cracks. Tighten or replace as needed.
  • Verify flue slope: Ensure the flue is installed with the correct fall back to the boiler or to the drain, as specified by Viessmann.
  • Inspect flue joints: Look for water staining around flue connections. Replace any damaged seals and reassemble according to the installation manual.
  • Test drain: Pour a small amount of water into the condensate trap and confirm it drains freely without leaks.
