How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer. Mop up any water to prevent slipping.

  • Check water tank:
    • Remove and empty the tank.
    • Ensure it is not cracked and that it seats fully when reinserted.
  • Clean condensate path:
    • Remove the condenser and clean the housing.
    • Use a flexible brush or pipe cleaner to clear the drain channel leading to the tank.
  • Inspect hoses: Check internal drain hoses for disconnection or cracks; reconnect or replace as needed.
  • Test: Run a short cycle and monitor for leaks.

Note: If water appears to come from the door, check and clean the door seal and glass.
