Error code

5C

Meaning

The water collection tank is full or the drain is blocked

Moderate

What to do

Why this happens

Possible causes include a full water tank requiring emptying, a malfunction in the drain pump or float sensor, or an obstruction such as a kinked or blocked drain hose.

How to fix it

Empty the water tank and clean the drain filter. If the error continues with an empty tank, the drain pump or float switch may need service — a technician can help.
