Possible Causes

Blocked condenser or heat exchanger (ventless models), Clogged drain hose or pump (if equipped), Excessive vent condensation due to long cold duct, Loose exhaust connection

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Unplug the dryer before inspecting internal components.

  • Identify dryer type:
    • For standard vented dryers, water is usually from condensation in the vent or from another source (e.g., nearby washer).
    • For ventless/condensing models, check the condenser and drain system.
  • Vented models:
    • Inspect the vent hose for low spots where water can collect; reroute to avoid sags.
    • Ensure the outside vent hood is not blocked and seals properly.
  • Ventless models:
    • Remove and clean the condenser/heat exchanger per the user manual.
    • Check the condensate drain hose and pump (if present) for clogs.
    • Ensure the water collection tank (if used) is seated properly.
