How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the appliance and allow it to cool. Water may spill when opening the condenser area.

Step-by-step checks:

  • 2. Check internal hoses: Remove the lower front or rear panel and inspect the small hoses that carry condensed water to the pump or drum. Straighten any kinks and clear blockages.
  • 3. Inspect condenser pump: If fitted, check the small pump for obstructions and test its operation. Replace if not running or if the impeller is damaged.
