If your Crosley dryer is leaking water, start with the most likely culprits so you can fix it fast: a damaged fill hose is the top cause for leaks coming from outside or under the dryer, so inspect the hose for cracks or holes and make sure it is tightened to the inlet with good rubber washers. If water is appearing inside the drum, check the steam nozzle next; a cracked or clogged nozzle that sprays the hot mist will allow water into the drum. If your model does not have a steam function, look for other household plumbing or condensation sources before tearing the dryer apart. Less commonly the steam generator housing can crack, and loose hose connectors also cause leaks that are fixed by tightening or replacing washers. Rarely the water inlet valve housing is damaged and needs replacement. Replace any visibly cracked parts and reseal connections, and enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement part that fits your dryer.
01 - Crosley 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.

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.

06 - Crosley Dryer Water Inlet Valve
A water leak that is coming from inside the dryer cabinet is likely caused by a damaged water inlet valve. Inspect the valve for any cracks in the housing and confirm the valve hoses are secured firmly to the valve and are in good condition. If the inlet valve's housing is cracked or damaged, the component should be replaced with a new one.
