    Is it possible the water is coming from some other source behind the dryer? When you move your clothes from the washer to the dryer they should be wet but not dripping wet. Once the dryer starts operation there is not source of water to leak onto the floor. Look behind and under the dryer for some other source.

    Its not coming from any other place its coming from the dryer think it may be coming from the filter that is used for the condencing.

    "filter that is used for the condencing." I have no idea what you are saying here, what filter and what condensing? Are your clothes wet but not dripping when they come out of the washer? If they are soaking wet then maybe its your washer not doing a complete spin cycle.

    There are way too many parts on that washer to leak. Your going to have to turn off the power and wipe it dry and make sure you have access. Dump a bucket of water and run it through the spin cycle first. That will use the smallest amount of water and look for leaks.

    Use www3.sears.com to locate and purchase the part.

    Sorry but I have never worked on a condenser dryer. Your recirculated and condessed air is not getting evaporated by the heat exchanger. I can't help any further, lack of experience, sorry What is a 'condenser' dryer ?? - Laundry Room
