Inglis Dryer leaking water

If your Inglis dryer is leaking water or you see water leaking underneath the cabinet, start by checking the fill hose first — the most common cause is a cracked or pinched hose or loose clamps where it meets the inlet valve. If the leak is inside the drum, a cracked steam nozzle is the likely culprit; inspect the nozzle for visible damage and replace it if needed. If your model is not a steam dryer, look for other sources of household plumbing leaks that could be tracking into the dryer. A damaged steam generator housing or a loose hose connector are common causes next, so tighten fittings and replace worn rubber washers. Less commonly, a cracked water inlet valve housing will let water into the cabinet and needs replacement. These checks are straightforward for a confident DIYer and manageable for a first-timer following basic instructions. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement fill hose, nozzle, steam generator, inlet valve, or fittings that fit your specific Inglis dryer.

01 - Inglis 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.

06 - Inglis Dryer Water Inlet Valve

A water leak that is coming from inside the dryer cabinet is likely caused by a damaged water inlet valve.
