Dryer is leaking water onto the floor

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before moving or adjusting venting.

Step-by-step checks:

• Inspect vent hose: Check for loose connections or holes in the vent hose that could allow moist air to condense on nearby surfaces.
• Check vent routing: Long runs through unconditioned spaces can cause condensation. Insulate the duct or reroute if possible.
• Clear blockages: Ensure the vent is not blocked and that air flows freely to the outside.
• Room conditions: Improve room ventilation or dehumidification if the dryer is in a damp basement or small enclosed space.

When to call a technician: If you suspect internal leaks from a stacked washer/dryer combo or nearby plumbing, professional inspection is advised.
