Dryer leaks water onto the floor or has moisture around the base.

Safety First: Unplug the dryer and, for steam models, shut off the water supply before inspection.

• Step 1 – Verify vent termination: Ensure the vent duct exhausts outdoors, not into an attic, crawlspace, or garage.
• Step 2 – Clean vent system: Remove lint and obstructions from the entire vent run to reduce condensation.
• Step 3 – Check for backdraft: Inspect the exterior hood for a stuck flap that could allow cold air in, causing condensation inside the duct and dryer.
• Step 4 – Steam models – inspect water connections: Check the steam inlet hose and valve for leaks. Tighten connections or replace hoses/valve as needed.
