Possible Causes

Blocked condenser drain channel, Leaking or disconnected drain hose, Cracked water tank, Faulty condenser pump seal

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer. Water around electrical components is hazardous.

  • 1. Identify source: Remove the front lower panel or condenser access cover and look for signs of water trails or pooling.
  • 2. Clean drain channels: Clear lint and debris from the condenser drain channel and tray.
  • 3. Inspect hoses: Check all hoses from the condenser tray to the pump and water tank for cracks, disconnections, or kinks. Reconnect or replace as needed.
  • 4. Check water tank: Inspect the water tank for cracks or improper seating. Replace if damaged.
  • 5. Pump seals: If water appears around the pump, the pump housing or seals may be leaking and require pump replacement.
