What is Condensate Drain Pump?
When an indoor AC unit lacks natural gravity slope toward a drain, a condensate pump with a float switch is installed. If biofilm clogs the float or the pump burns out, water overflows down the indoor wall.

The indoor unit drips water down the wall or makes an intermittent buzzing sound. Tray cleaning or silent pump replacement: €95-175.
