Possible Causes
Disconnected or leaking exhaust hose on vented models, Blocked condenser on condenser/heat pump models, Door seal leakage, Cracked exhaust duct inside dryer
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer before moving or disconnecting hoses.
Step-by-step checks:
- Vented models: Ensure the exhaust hose is firmly attached to the dryer and wall vent, with no holes or splits. Replace damaged hoses.
- Check wall vent flap: Make sure the external flap opens freely and is not blocked, forcing moist air back into the room.
- Condenser/heat pump models: Clean the condenser unit and filters thoroughly. Ensure the condenser door closes and seals properly.
- Inspect door seal: Check the door gasket for tears or gaps. Replace if leaking.
