Possible Causes

Blocked condensate sump, Clogged drain hose, Cracked water tank or seals, Misfitted condenser unit

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

  • Check water tank: Remove the condensate tank, empty it, and inspect for cracks or damaged seals. Replace if leaking.
  • Clean sump and pump area: Access the lower front or rear panel to reach the sump. Remove lint and debris that may block water flow.
  • Inspect drain hoses: Check internal hoses from the sump to the tank for splits, loose connections, or blockages. Refit or replace as needed.
  • Refit condenser correctly: Ensure the condenser/heat exchanger is seated properly and that its seals are intact to prevent water bypass.
  • Test for leaks: Run a short cycle and observe the dryer for any further leakage.
