Kelvinator Dryer leaking water
If your Kelvinator dryer is leaking water, start by checking the most likely trouble spots: a cracked or loose fill hose that feeds the machine, then the steam nozzle inside the drum that sprays mist. If you don’t have a steam model, rule out external sources of water before tearing the dryer apart. Next look at the steam generator for cracks or damage, then hose connectors that need tightening or fresh rubber washers, and finally the water inlet valve and its housings for visible cracks. Small cracks or loose fittings are the usual culprits and are simple to replace or reseal; damaged nozzles, steam generators, or inlet valves will need new parts. Inspect hoses and fittings while the unit is off and the water supply is shut, and replace any worn washers to stop drips. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to see the exact replacement fill hose, nozzle, steam generator, inlet valve, or hardware that fits your dryer.
01 - Kelvinator 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 - Kelvinator 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 - Kelvinator 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 - Kelvinator 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.
