Possible Causes
Clogged condensate trap, a kinked condensate hose, a frozen condensate line, or a failed condensate pump (if used)
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power. Condensate is mildly acidic; wear gloves and eye protection.
Steps:
- Locate condensate trap: On condensing Peerless boilers, find the plastic trap at the bottom of the heat exchanger or flue collector.
- Clean trap: Remove the trap and flush it with clean water to remove sludge and debris.
- Inspect hoses: Ensure condensate hoses are not kinked and slope continuously to the drain.
- Check condensate pump: If a pump is used, verify it runs and discharges water. Clean or replace if stuck.
- Reassemble and test: Reinstall the trap, restore power, and reset the boiler.
