How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer and remove the water tank.

  • Clean tank and housing: Wash the water tank and its housing with warm water to remove lint and residue. Ensure the tank seats fully when reinserted.
  • Check float mechanism: If your model uses a float, ensure it moves freely and is not jammed by lint. Clean the float chamber carefully.
  • Inspect sensor wiring: Access the area behind the tank housing and check the wiring to the level sensor or float switch. Reseat connectors.
  • Test sensor: Use a multimeter to test the float switch or sensor for correct operation as the float moves. Replace if faulty.
