Possible Causes
Blocked condensate channel or sump, Disconnected or cracked drain hose inside the dryer, Overfilled or mis-seated water tank, Pump housing leak (if pump fitted)
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer. Water and electricity are a dangerous combination.
- Check water tank: Ensure the tank is not overfilled and is seated correctly. Empty and refit.
- Clean condensate channels: Remove the condenser and inspect the tray and channels behind it. Clear lint and sludge with a brush and warm water.
- Inspect internal hoses: Remove the side or rear panel to access the condensate hoses from the sump to the tank or pump. Check for splits, disconnections, or blockages. Refit or replace as needed.
- Check pump housing (if fitted): Inspect for cracks or leaks around the pump. Replace the pump or housing if leaking.
