7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Supco CP802, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|

| Water overflowing from the pan. | Condensate drain line blocked. Pan is not level. Evaporation rate is too slow for condensate volume. | Clear any blockages in the drain line. Adjust pan to a level position. Verify the unit is powered and functioning correctly. Consider a higher capacity unit if needed. |
