Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect mains power before accessing hoses or pump.
- 1. Check external drain setup: If the dryer is plumbed to a drain, ensure the hose is not kinked, blocked, or installed too high above the dryer.
- 2. Clean condenser and seals: Remove and clean the condenser. Check that its seals are intact and properly seated to ensure correct airflow and condensation.
- 3. Inspect pump and hoses: Access the condensate pump and verify that hoses are clear and properly connected.
- 4. When to call a technician: If the tank still fills abnormally fast, the pump or internal design may need professional evaluation.
