Dryer stops and displays E05; water tank may be empty or partially filled

Safety first: Unplug the dryer and be prepared for water spillage when opening the sump or hoses.

• Empty water tank: Remove and empty the condensate water tank completely. Clean the tank and ensure the float inside (if present) moves freely.
• Clean pump filter and sump: Access the pump area (usually behind the lower front panel or rear panel). Remove any filter or cover and clear lint, fluff, or debris from the sump and pump inlet.
• Check drain hose: Inspect the internal hose from the sump to the water tank for kinks or blockages. Flush with warm water if necessary.
• Test pump operation: With the dryer reassembled but still empty of laundry, reconnect power and start a cycle. Listen for the pump running when water should be transferred. If silent or just humming, the pump motor may be faulty and require replacement.
• Inspect float switch / sensor: If accessible, check the float switch or electronic level sensor in the sump for free movement and clean contacts. Replace if stuck or damaged.
