Possible Causes

Clogged defrost drain, Disconnected drain tube, Excessive door openings causing condensation, Unit not level causing water to spill from drip tray

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before removing panels. Wipe up any water to prevent slipping.

  • Level the unit: Ensure the cooler is slightly tilted back so water flows to the rear drain.
  • Locate drain hole: Inside the cabinet, find the small drain hole at the rear (below the evaporator area). Clean it with a pipe cleaner or soft brush to remove debris.
  • Check rear drain tube and pan: Remove the rear panel and verify the drain tube is securely attached and routed into the drain pan above the compressor.
  • Clean drain pan: Empty and clean the drain pan if it is overflowing or dirty.
  • Reduce door openings: Frequent or prolonged door openings in humid environments can cause excess condensation. Minimize door open time.
