Hotpoint CTD40 dryer – water leak around water container

[goonergal]

Dryer was working and came to end of timer – clothes dry as normal.
When I took out the water container to empty it there was a lot of water underneath. Container did have water in it as well.
Container was emptied before this load and dryer was not overloaded. Any advice gratefully received!

hi, easy to fix, the drain hole under the back of the water container is blocked,

Plug out First
Take the lid off, (2 screws at back)
Remove the water tank/drawer
There is a hole at the back where the tank fits, for overflow to run back to pump, this will be blocked causing the leak

Nice, Easy repair
