Hotpoint TCL 770 dryer water on heater & stats.

I’ve cleaned this m/c out twice in 2 weeks now, but still it keeps getting wet on heater & stats. Pump, float switch seem fine and M/c seems level am I missing something obvious?

I’ve had a similar problem in the past, mine was situated against a single brick wall and it only got the problem during severely cold weather, I could only assume that the water was condensation forming after it had been used.
I remedied the problem by putting a sheet of polystyrene between the dryer and the wall.

i take it you have cleared out the drain hole between the pump housing and the condenser chamber

sticka cable tie through at the pump side, then stick your hand in the front and pull out what was obstructing it!

Cleaned out drain hole etc still happened again a week later 😡
Didn’t check if it was against an outside wall, might be something in that what with the weather being so cold lately.
Other than that could it be intermittent pump but shouldn’t that just trigger the float switch ?

aye… ask em to move it into a warmer room first, see if it makes any difference!
