Possible Causes

Clogged condensate drain hole, Cracked or misrouted drain tube, Excessive door opening causing condensation, Unit not level causing water to overflow

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before tilting or moving it. Water on the floor can be a slip hazard.

Steps:

  • Locate drain: Inside the cabinet, find the small condensate drain hole near the rear bottom.
  • Clear blockage: Use a soft pipe cleaner or plastic straw to gently clear debris. Flush with warm water using a turkey baster or syringe.
  • Check drain tube: From the rear, inspect the drain tube leading to the drip tray above the compressor. Ensure it is not kinked or disconnected.
  • Level the unit: Adjust the front leveling feet so the cooler is slightly tilted back, helping water flow to the drain.
  • Door usage: Reduce frequent door openings in humid environments to minimize condensation.
