Can a leaking washer-dryer still complete a drying-only cycle safely?

Do not assume so. A leak can affect electrical or shared parts even if the selected mode uses little or no visible wash water.

Understanding this situation

The source and extent need appropriate assessment. Wiping the floor does not establish that internal areas are dry or that a drying stage cannot draw more water on that model.

A useful next step

Leave the appliance unused where leakage is unresolved and isolate only safely. Report where water appeared and which stage was active. Do not use dry-only as a workaround or run it as a test of whether the leak belongs only to washing.

Manuals and supporting guidance

Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
