How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer and mop up any spilled water to prevent slipping.
- Check water tank: Ensure the condensate tank is not overfilled and is seated correctly in its housing.
- Clean drain channel: Remove the condenser and clean the drain channel and sump area of lint and debris.
- Inspect drain hose: Check the small hose from the sump to the tank for cracks, disconnections, or blockages. Replace if damaged.
- Inspect door seal: Look for tears or deformation in the door gasket. Replace if it no longer seals properly.
