How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before servicing. Water may spill when opening panels.
- Drain both outlets: Some Black+Decker units have upper and lower drains. Drain both to ensure all water is removed.
- Inspect pump (if present): Remove the rear panel and locate the small condensate pump. Check for obstructions in the pump inlet and outlet.
- Clean hoses: Detach the pump discharge hose and flush it with water to remove blockages. Reattach securely.
- Check pump float: Ensure the pump float moves freely and is not stuck by debris.
- Test pump operation (advanced): With the unit reassembled and powered, carefully observe whether the pump runs when water level rises (this may require technician assistance). Replace the pump assembly if it does not operate.
