How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer and mop up any standing water to prevent slipping.

  • Check condensate container: Ensure the water tank (if equipped) is properly seated and not overfilled or cracked.
  • Inspect drain hose: For models with direct drain, check the hose for kinks, cracks, or loose connections at both the dryer and drain point.
  • Clean condensate channels: Remove the condenser and clean the channels leading to the pump or tank. Remove lint and sludge.
  • Inspect door seal: Check the door gasket for tears or deformation. Replace if damaged.
  • Check pump housing: Access the base and inspect the condensate pump for leaks during a test fill (you can pour a small amount of water into the sump and observe).
