Possible Causes

Blocked condensate drain channel, Cracked or displaced drain hose, Full or mis-seated water tank, Damaged door seal allowing condensation to escape

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.
