Estate Dryer leaking water
If your Estate dryer is leaking water, start by checking the fill hose and its fittings. A cracked or loose fill hose is the most common cause of water appearing outside the cabinet or pooling underneath the dryer, followed by a faulty steam nozzle that can drip inside the drum on steam models. If your dryer is not a steam model, look for other water sources around the laundry because external plumbing or washer leaks often get blamed on the dryer. A damaged steam generator or a loose hose connector with worn washers are also common causes; inspect the generator housing, tighten connections, and replace washers as needed. Less commonly, a cracked water inlet valve can let water into the cabinet. Track the leak location to narrow the fault and replace the failed component, such as a fill hose, nozzle, steam generator, connector, or inlet valve. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement part for your dryer.
01 - Estate Dryer Fill Hose
A water leak that is coming from outside the dryer cabinet may be caused by a damaged fill hose. Inspect the hose for small cracks or holes and confirm the hose is secured firmly to the inlet valve. A damaged hose will need to be replaced with a new one. If needed, install new rubber washers at the ends of the hose for a water tight seal.

02 - Estate Dryer Nozzle
A water leak inside the dryer drum may be caused by a faulty nozzle, the component used to spray the hot mist. Inspect the nozzle for any cracks or signs of visible damage and replace the old nozzle with a new one if required.

A non steam dryer is not connected to water and will not cause a leak. Look for other sources of leaks.
