Possible Causes

Clogged condensate drain line, disconnected drain hose, improperly sloped drain tubing, cracked drain pan.

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power to avoid electrical hazards from water contact.

Steps to fix condensate leaks:

  • Locate drain line: Find the condensate outlet and attached tubing from the heat pump section.
  • Clear blockage: Disconnect the tubing and flush it with water or blow through it to remove clogs. Clean the drain pan of slime or debris.
  • Check slope: Ensure the drain line slopes continuously downward to the floor drain or condensate pump.
  • Secure connections: Reattach tubing firmly to the drain outlet and verify no leaks.
