Possible Causes

Clogged condensate drain hole, Disconnected drain tube, Cracked drain pan, Excessive door openings causing condensation

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before working inside or behind it.

  • Locate drain hole: Inside the cabinet, look for a small drain hole or channel at the rear bottom area.
  • Clear blockage: Use a soft pipe cleaner, cotton swab, or flexible plastic strip to gently clear any debris or mold from the drain hole. Do not use sharp metal objects.
  • Flush with warm water: Use a turkey baster or syringe to flush warm water through the drain to ensure it flows freely to the rear drain pan.
  • Check rear drain pan: Remove the rear lower panel and inspect the drain tube and pan above the compressor. Ensure the tube is connected and the pan is not cracked.
  • Reduce condensation: Avoid leaving the door open for long periods and ensure the gasket seals properly.
