Possible Causes

Clogged internal drain hose or pump outlet, Failed condensate pump (if equipped), Kinked external drain hose, Faulty internal float switch for pump reservoir

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit. Water and electricity are a dangerous combination; keep the area dry while working.

Check external drain hose: If using continuous drain, ensure the hose is not kinked, elevated above the outlet, or blocked.
Inspect internal pump (if equipped): Remove the rear panel to access the pump. Check for slime, algae, or debris blocking the inlet.
Clean reservoir and float: Clean the reservoir with mild detergent and verify the float moves freely.
Test pump operation: Pour water into the reservoir and see if the pump activates. If not, test for continuity and replace if seized.
Replace float switch: If the float moves but the switch fails, replace the pump float switch.
