How can I distinguish external condensation from a water leak?

Describe the appearance and timing rather than assuming the source. Fine moisture on a cool surrounding surface differs from a growing puddle, but both can need attention.

Understanding this situation

The fitting, room conditions and drying stage are relevant. Water can travel before it becomes visible, so placing towels underneath and repeatedly running a cycle is not a safe diagnostic method.

A useful next step

Stop use if leakage or wet electrical areas are involved. Report the location, extent and stage from existing observations. A professional assessment can consider the appliance and surrounding arrangement without asking you to reproduce a wet fault.

Manuals and supporting guidance

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