Dryer is leaking water or there is moisture pooling around or under the unit (especially heat pump/condensing models).

Safety: Unplug the dryer before inspecting hoses or internal components.

• Identify dryer type: For vented dryers, moisture usually indicates vent condensation or leaks. For heat pump/condensing dryers, check the condensate system.
• Check vent connection: Ensure the vent hose is tightly clamped and not leaking moist air into the room.
• Inspect condensate drain (if equipped): Locate the drain hose or reservoir. Clear any blockages and ensure the hose is not kinked or cracked.
• Level the dryer: Make sure the dryer is level so condensate flows correctly to the drain.
