Samsung Dryer leaking water
If your dryer is leaking water — whether you see puddles underneath or water inside the drum — the problem is usually something you can find and fix yourself. The most likely culprit is a damaged fill hose, so check hoses and their rubber washers for cracks or holes and make sure the hose is clamped tight at the inlet valve. If water is spraying into the drum, inspect the steam nozzle for visible damage and replace it if cracked. If your model is not a steam dryer, look for other household sources of moisture before tearing into the machine. A cracked steam generator housing or a loose hose connector are common causes inside steam models, and tightening connections or swapping in new washers often stops the leak. Less commonly, a cracked water inlet valve housing will need replacing. For the exact replacement part for your dryer, enter your model number at RepairClinic.com and you’ll see the parts that fit your machine.
01 - Samsung 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 - Samsung 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.
Highly Likely
03 - Check for other sources of leaks
A non steam dryer is not connected to water and will not cause a leak. Look for other sources of leaks.
Common
04 - Samsung Dryer Steam Generator
A water leak inside the dryer drum may be caused by a faulty or damaged steam generator, the component that converts the incoming water supply to steam. Inspect the steam generator for any cracks in the housing and replace if visibly damaged.
