Possible Causes

Vent duct exhausting into cold space causing condensation, Blocked vent causing moisture backup, Long uninsulated vent run, For ventless models: clogged condenser or drain system

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before inspecting venting.

Check venting and condensation:

  • Ensure the vent duct terminates outdoors and not into an attic, crawlspace, or garage.
  • Inspect the vent for blockages and clean thoroughly.
  • If the vent runs through a cold area, consider insulating the duct to reduce condensation.
  • Check for loose vent connections that may allow moist air to escape into the room.

For ventless/condensing GE dryers (if applicable):

  • Clean the condenser unit per the user manual.
  • Check the internal drain hose and reservoir for clogs or overfilling.
