How to solve water leakage from the door of my tumble dryer?
To address water leakage from the door of your tumble dryer, follow these maintenance
steps:
1. Clean the Door and Surfaces
• Use a non-abrasive detergent and a soft sponge or cloth to clean the surfaces of
your tumble dryer.
• Regularly wiping the outside surfaces with a damp sponge ensures there’s no
buildup that could cause issues.
2. Clean Around the Door Gasket
• Gently clean around the door gasket (the rubber seal) with a damp sponge to
remove any dirt or lint that may have accumulated over time. This ensures a proper
seal when the door is closed.
3. Ensure No Items Are Stuck Between the Door and Gasket
• When loading the dryer, make sure no laundry items are caught between the door
and the gasket, as this can prevent the door from closing properly and lead to water
leakage.
4. Watch for Gaps and Condensation
• If there is a slight gap around the door, this can cause water condensation due to
the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the dryer. Regular
maintenance of the door seal can prevent such gaps.
By keeping the door area clean and ensuring no blockages occur, you can help prevent
water leakage issues in your tumble dryer.
