Possible Causes
- Drain hose is bent or needs to be reconnected.
- Water tank is full (on non-plumbed dryers).
- Drain is blocked with lint or debris.
- Drain pump may be faulty.
How to Fix
- Turn off the power supply to the dryer.
- Check the drain hose at the back to make sure it is not bent or loose.
- For non-plumbed dryers: Remove and empty the water tank, then refit it.
- Check the drain and remove any lint or debris.
- If the dryer is still not draining, book a service repair as there may be an issue with the drain pump.
Helpful Tips
- Clean the lint filter every time you use the dryer to help prevent lint blocking airflow or getting into the drain.
- Check the drain regularly to remove lint and debris that may be blocking it.
- For non-plumbed dryers: Empty the water tank after every cycle.
