Montgomery Wards Dryer leaking water
If your Montgomery Wards dryer is leaking water, start with the fill hose — a cracked or loose fill hose is the most likely cause when water is coming from outside the cabinet; replace a damaged hose and install new rubber washers for a watertight seal. If water is appearing inside the drum, inspect the steam nozzle next, since a cracked or clogged nozzle that sprays the hot mist will let water into the drum and should be replaced. Don’t assume the dryer itself is leaking: on non-steam dryers water can come from nearby plumbing or the washer, so check other sources before tearing the dryer apart. If the nozzle looks fine, examine the steam generator housing for cracks and check all hose connectors for tightness and worn washers. Less commonly, a cracked water inlet valve or loose valve hoses inside the cabinet will produce a leak and require replacing the valve. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement fill hose, nozzle, steam generator, inlet valve, or washers that fit your dryer and get back to drying without surprises.
01 - Montgomery Wards 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 - Montgomery Wards 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 - Montgomery Wards 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.
Common
05 - Loose hose connector
Check and tighten hose connections. Install new rubber washers if needed.
Common
06 - Montgomery Wards 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.
