Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer. Mop up any spilled water to prevent slipping.

  • Check water tank: Remove the condensate tank, empty it, and inspect for cracks or damage. Ensure it is reinserted fully and correctly.
  • Clean condensate channel: In the condenser compartment, locate the channel or sump where water collects. Remove lint and debris with a cloth or small brush.
  • Inspect drain hose: Trace the hose from the sump or pump to the tank. Ensure it is securely connected and not split or kinked. Replace if damaged.
  • Check condenser seating: Ensure the condenser cassette is fully inserted and sealed. Misalignment can cause water to spill into the cabinet.
  • Test for leaks: Run a short cycle and observe the area around the condenser and tank for any drips. Correct any misalignment or replace leaking components.
