How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer and mop up any standing water to prevent slipping.
Locate leak source:
- Check water tank: Ensure the tank is not overfilled, cracked, or misaligned. Empty and reseat it firmly.
- Inspect condenser area: Remove the condenser and check the housing and sump for lint build-up that could cause overflow. Clean thoroughly.
- Check hoses and pump: Remove the lower front or side panel to inspect the drain hoses and pump housing. Look for splits, loose clamps, or perished seals. Replace any damaged hoses or seals.
Test after repair: Run a short cycle while observing the base and front area for any signs of leakage.
