Gurgling noise

Post by Chljke2 » Tue Dec 06, 2022 9:54 am

Another "newbie" ? - I am hearing gurgling sounds at times and was told to make sure the water in the reservoir isn't filled to the "max" line which it isn't.
Someone else said make sure there is no water in the hose which there isn't.
I am at loss on this one, any help is appreciated.

The water tub should be at max OR BELOW.
Try to keep the machine lower than the mattress.
Water in the tube will cause a gurgling or popping noise. This is caused by condensation.

It can only be water.
Look again; remove and drain the hose.
It only takes a tiny bit of water--you may not even see it until you drain it out.

Try to rout your hose so there are not dips in the hose. Any moisture will collect in these low spots.
