Dryer shows E13; may stop with water-related issues on condenser/heat pump models

Safety first: Disconnect power and be prepared for water spillage when opening the sump area.

• Empty and reseat water tank: Remove the condensate tank, empty it, and ensure it is fully pushed back into place.
• Clean sump and float: Access the lower front area where the condensate collects. Remove lint and debris from the sump. Locate the float and ensure it moves freely up and down. Clean any residue that may cause sticking.
• Check hoses: Inspect the small hoses from the sump to the tank for blockages or kinks. Flush them with warm water if necessary.
• Test level switch: If your Siemens model uses a mechanical float switch, test it with a multimeter for proper switching as the float moves. Replace if faulty.
• Reassemble and test: After cleaning and checks, reassemble panels, restore power, and run a short cycle to confirm normal operation.
