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.
