Possible Causes
Blocked condensate pump, kinked drain hose to reservoir, cracked condensate tray, clogged condenser channels
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer. Water and electricity are a dangerous combination.
Stop the leak:
- Remove and empty the condensate container (if your model has one) and ensure it is seated correctly.
- Clean the condenser thoroughly and remove any lint or debris from the surrounding area.
- Inspect the condensate tray and drain channels for blockages; flush with warm water if accessible.
- On models with an internal condensate pump, listen for pump operation; if the pump is silent or noisy and water is not being moved, the pump may need replacement.
- Check any visible drain hoses for kinks or cracks and correct or replace as needed.
