LG Dryer leaking water
If your LG dryer is leaking water, start by checking the fill hose and its connections — a cracked or loose hose is the most common cause of water appearing around or under the machine. If the leak is inside the drum, inspect the steam nozzle next since a damaged nozzle that sprays hot mist can drip into the tub. If your dryer is not a steam model, look for other household sources of water before tearing into the unit. A cracked steam generator housing or failing internal fittings can also cause leaks, as can loose hose connectors that need new rubber washers. Less often, the water inlet valve itself will leak if its housing is damaged. These checks cover the usual causes of an LG dryer leaking water or leaking underneath the cabinet and will guide you to the right replacement part.

01 - LG 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 - LG 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 - LG 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.

05 - Loose hose connector
Check and tighten hose connections. Install new rubber washers if needed.
Common
06 - LG 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.
