Start with the sequence

For this Sharp tumble dryer complaint, note whether the tank indicator appeared and where water was visible. Record the last normal stage and the first change. A short description of that sequence is more useful than a guessed part name.

If the appliance sparks, smells of burning, leaks near electrics or repeatedly trips the supply, stop using it. Keep panels fitted. Do not run an unsafe appliance again just to capture a video.

What might explain it?

Water appears under a condenser dryer can involve the collection container, accessible drain or internal water route. Those are possible areas for assessment, not a confirmed diagnosis or a claim about a particular Sharp model.

Compare the selected setting with the result you actually observed. Mention whether other functions on the same appliance still operate. Avoid repeated resets, bypassing locks or testing internal components.

The Sharp identification matters

Use the accessible door-frame label. Record whether the dryer is vented, condenser or heat pump if you already know.

The badge covers more than one product family. Identify the particular appliance from its complete rating plate; matching names or styling do not establish parts compatibility.

A display code only has meaning alongside the exact product and its documentation. Photograph the full message rather than looking up a similarly named model and assuming it uses the same code system.

Before a visit for this complaint

Keep ventilation clear as described in the user instructions. Sealed refrigerant work on heat-pump dryers is outside our repair scope.

Give the full address postcode, not just Catford or SE6. Appointment availability, the repair approach, charges and any parts requirement are confirmed individually.
