Dryer leaks water onto the floor around the unit

Safety first: Unplug the dryer and avoid standing water near electrical outlets.

• Verify vent termination: Ensure the dryer vent exhausts outdoors and not into an attic, crawlspace, or room.
• Check for condensation: In cold spaces, warm moist air can condense on the vent or surrounding surfaces. Insulate the vent duct if necessary.
• Inspect vent for blockages: Clean the vent to reduce backpressure and moisture buildup.
• Confirm source: Make sure the water is not coming from a nearby washer, plumbing, or roof leak above the dryer.
