Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer and mop up any spilled water to prevent slipping.
- 1. Empty water container: Remove and fully empty the condensate tank. Check for cracks or damage and ensure the cap or plug is fitted correctly.
- 2. Clean drain channel: Open the lower front flap and clean the channel leading from the condenser to the tank or pump. Remove lint and sludge.
- 3. Inspect hoses: With the front or side panel removed (if competent), check condensate hoses for splits, loose clamps, or disconnections.
- 4. Check condenser seal: Ensure the condenser/heat exchanger is seated correctly with all seals in place to prevent water bypassing into the base.
- 5. When to call a technician: Persistent leaks may indicate a cracked internal manifold or pump housing that requires professional replacement.
