  • Rational leaking at the end of the wash cycle

    Posted by jakes0075 on April 24, 2025 at 12:00 am

    Hi. Rational oven leaks at the bottom only at the end of a wash cycle.

    With that said did a interim cycle at some stage and no leak….

    Drainage system is clean and unclogged.

    What am I missing here?

    Is it leaking at the door or the condensing box?

    Thanks for the replies. Problem here is it does washing cycle, up to the very last bit, then leaks, big amount of water. Almost like it’s pushing last bit, then leaks. Most of the cycle is fine. Returning there today (to site) to have a look again. Drainage runs out without hassle during the cycle, so not blocked.

    Cycle drainage is different than full flow during cleaning. With cycle, it’s just steam being condensed that is being delt with. But during cleaning, you have a acid wash and a neutralizer rinse. The rinse is full volume and will be the first normal time that the drains ever get used to capacity. Water temp has to be cool enough for efficient condensing. So make sure it’s not getting hot water. Also check that a water pressure regulator is set correctly. To high will increase flow.

    Check the pill (cleaning) chamber seals.

    Flow rate needs to be decreased water moving in faster than releasing something has changed or was it like this from the start?
