How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer and mop up any standing water to prevent slipping. Avoid contact with internal live parts.
- Check water tank: Ensure the condensate tank is not overfilled and is seated correctly. Empty and reinsert firmly.
- Clean drain channel: Remove the condenser and clean the drain channel beneath it. Use a flexible brush to clear lint and sludge.
- Inspect hoses: Access the internal condensate hoses and check for cracks, loose clamps, or disconnections. Replace damaged condensate hoses and secure with proper clamps.
- Condensate pump: If equipped, inspect the pump and its seals for leaks. Replace the condensate pump if it is cracked or leaking.
