Why does the appliance's exact manual matter for water-condensing drying?

Some combinations require water during drying, while other technologies work differently. The supply instructions for the exact model are therefore essential.

Understanding this situation

Copying advice from a separate tumble dryer can lead to an inappropriate assumption that the water supply should be off once washing ends. Conversely, a normal water requirement does not explain every unexpected leak.

A useful next step

Keep the documented supply arrangement in place for permitted operation and report any interruption. Do not loosen hoses or manipulate hidden connections as a test. If water appears outside the appliance, stop use and seek appropriate assessment.

Manuals and supporting guidance

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