How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the appliance before working inside the cabinet or behind the unit. Floors may be slippery.

  • 1. Locate the drain:
    • Find the small drain hole at the rear of the interior, usually below the evaporator area.
  • 2. Clear blockage:
    • Use a soft pipe cleaner or flexible plastic rod to gently clear the drain hole.
    • Flush with a small amount of warm water using a syringe or turkey baster.
  • 3. Check drain tube and pan:
    • Access the rear of the unit and locate the drain tube leading to the drain pan above the compressor.
    • Ensure the tube is securely attached and not kinked.
    • Inspect the pan for cracks and replace if damaged.
  • 4. Inspect door gasket:
    • Repair or replace if leaking warm, moist air into the cabinet.
