I just bought cooler. When running it, a lot of water is draining out out overflow

Many newer units are considered “fully evaporative.” This means the water accumulated from dehumidifying is actually discharged out of the exhaust. But, many times the evaporation can not keep up with the cooling demand. The machine has to stop running for a bit to get rid of excess water so it doesn’t overflow. Try hooking up a permanent drain!!

Dear Stacey,
Help us out with this information.
What cooler?
I know of no washing machine with a cooler.

E4 Overflow

Sometimes during trasport it is possible that styrofoam float mechanicaly activated overflow microswitch. So, you should check complitely overflow system.

At any time, if overflow micro-switch act and keep for longer than 2 seconds, the E4 would occur. When E4 occurs, the drain pump will run until flowmeter keep motionless for 2 minutes (if the model with the pressure switch (83/63),drain pump would run till the pressure switch reset and continue draining for 60 seconds.) and all the other components will be stopped immediately. At the same time, the buzzer will alarm for 30 seconds and error 4 will be shown. Note: Priority level of E4 is the highest. E4 operation is valid after other error operations have done. When E4 operation has done, all the others are invalid.

Too high of water pressure letting in more water then it can drain off. Try turning down the water first

The drain in the freezer behind back lower panel
needs opening. You can see it at the bottom of the back panel
underneath the evaporator coils. (The cold coils)
Run Hot water in the drain until it clears or use a hairdryer.
When the defrost melts the water it goes down the drain
If the drain is clogged with Ice or ? The defrost water
overflows into the ref. or freezer
Run Hot water in the drain until it clears or use a hairdryer.
Also check fan undernearh Ref in the rear
Clean condenser coils underneath

Yes, there should be a water/condensation pan under it with an overflow drain that takes the water down off the roof. Perhaps, whomever installed your new roof, removed the drain tubing and forgot to put it back.

The previous answer is wrong. He describes an overflow line not a bleeder line. An overflow line is not optional for the reason previous answer describes except that if you go away for vacation or other reason the water to the cooler should be shut off.

On the other hand a bleeder line is optional but highly suggested.
The purpose of a bleeder line in any application like brake systems and evpaorative coolers is to get rid of some unwanted elements. In brake lines air is the unwanted element. In evaporative coolers it is particles, scale and mineral build up. This happens because the constant evaporation ( the whole principle of water coolers) leaves behind particles, scale and mineral. without a bleeder line these things build up in the water reservoir. You flush your system manualy with a bleeder line or with the right control box and a separate pump it can be done automatically. If you do it manually, let it run long enuff to discharge at least as much water as your reservoir holds. direct this flow to plants so a not to waste the water.

There should be no crack or pin hole in your water bottle.
Water bottle should be air-tight to make proper pressure inside bottle.
Whenever lose pressure, water overflow with no bubble.
Just replace water bottle with no crack or pin hole.
Good luck.

You need to first check the circuit breaker for that wall outlet, and see if you short circuited it from water going behind the wall. if that is the case you need to reset it at the circuit box and then run a bead of clear silicone on the back of the water cooler to prevent water from dripping down the back .

there should be a drain pan that you will periodically remove. Condensate (water) is a normal byproduct of all refrigeration devices. Also look for a drain fitting that you can run to a waste line.
