Possible Causes

Blocked condenser drain channel, Loose or cracked drain hose, Overfilled condensate tank, Mis-seated condenser unit

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before removing the condenser or accessing internal hoses. Dry any spilled water to avoid slipping.

  • Empty water tank: Remove and empty the condensate tank completely. Reinstall securely.
  • Clean condenser: Remove the condenser (if user-removable) and rinse under running water. Clean the surrounding compartment and drain channel.
  • Inspect drain hose: Access the internal drain hose from the condenser to the tank or pump. Check for kinks, clogs, or cracks. Replace if damaged.
  • Check seals: Ensure the condenser is fully seated and any gaskets are intact to prevent leaks.

If leaks continue, the internal pump (if equipped) or tank level system may need professional service.
