How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before adjusting hoses.

  • Check hose slope: Ensure the drain hose runs downward from the unit to the drain with no upward loops.
  • Secure connection: Confirm the hose is firmly attached to the continuous drain outlet, and any cap or plug is removed as per TCL instructions.
  • Clear drain port: Remove the hose and clear the port with a small brush or pipe cleaner.
  • Verify bucket position: Some models require the bucket to be installed even when using continuous drain; ensure it is seated correctly.
