Possible Causes

Blocked condensate drain channel, Cracked or disconnected drain hose inside dryer, Overfilled or mis-seated water tank, Leaking condensate pump housing

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before working near water. Mop up any standing water to prevent slipping.

  • Check water tank: Ensure the condensate tank is not overfilled and is fully inserted. Empty and clean the tank, checking for cracks.
  • Clean drain channel: Open the lower front flap and inspect the drain channel and filter. Remove lint and debris that may cause overflow.
  • Inspect internal hoses: Remove the side or rear panel to access internal drain hoses. Check for disconnections, kinks, or cracks. Reattach or replace as needed.
  • Check condensate pump: Examine the pump housing for leaks and ensure the pump is securely mounted. Replace the pump if it is cracked or leaking.
  • Test for leaks: After reassembly, run a short cycle while monitoring for any new leaks.
