Possible Causes
Water collection bucket full, bucket not seated correctly, a stuck or failed bucket full float switch, an obstructed drain hose (if continuous drain is used), or faulty bucket switch wiring.
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn the unit off and unplug before removing the bucket.
Steps to clear P2:
- Empty the bucket: Carefully slide out the water bucket, empty it, and reinstall it fully until it clicks into place.
- Check bucket position: Ensure the bucket is not warped and that it sits flat against the internal switch lever or float mechanism.
- Inspect float and switch: Inside the bucket compartment, locate the bucket full float and the bucket full switch. Make sure the float moves freely and is not stuck by dirt or scale.
- Continuous drain users: If using a hose, confirm the hose is not kinked or clogged and that it slopes downward to a drain. A blocked hose can cause the bucket to fill and trigger P2.
- Switch test (advanced): With the unit unplugged, access the bucket full switch and check continuity with a multimeter while actuating the lever. Replace the bucket full switch if it does not change state.
