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.
