Possible Causes

Blocked condensate pump, Stuck float switch in condensate tray, Kinked or blocked drain hose to water tank, Failed condensate pump motor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer. Water and electricity are a dangerous combination.

  • Empty water tank: Remove and empty the condensate water tank; ensure it is correctly seated when reinserted.
  • Clean float and tray:
    • Access the condensate tray (usually behind the lower front panel).
    • Clean any lint or sludge that may block the float or pump inlet.
  • Check drain hose: Ensure the hose from the tray to the tank is not kinked or blocked; flush with water if necessary.
  • Test pump (if accessible):
    • Listen for the pump running briefly at the start or end of a cycle.
    • If silent and wiring is intact, the pump motor may be defective and require replacement.

Warning: Do not operate the dryer if water is leaking inside the cabinet; this can damage electronics and create shock risk.
