If your Speed Queen commercial dryer is leaking water, start by checking the fill hose, the most common cause of a leak outside the cabinet; small cracks, split ends or loose clamps on the inlet hose will let water drip and need a new hose or rubber washers. If the leak shows up inside the drum, the steam nozzle that sprays the hot mist and the steam generator are the next likely culprits—inspect the nozzle for cracks and the steam generator housing for visible damage and replace any compromised parts. Also check hose connectors and tighten or replace worn washers, and rule out other water sources not connected to the dryer. A cracked water inlet valve is less common but will leak inside the cabinet when damaged.

01 - Speed Queen Commercial 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.
