Had a defective door switch do the same thing

if you mean the condeser itself ...it just pulls out..........best way to clean is with a hosepipe gets all the fluff out....but.if you have water leaking...........best bet is to check the tank at the rear.....at the bottom of the base.....the tank operates via a piece of plastic or fibre which floats up as the tank fills.....which inturn hits a micro switch ...setting the pump going to pump the water to the empty tank........check the float first......... cheers

The thermostat is bad and letting it heat up until it is too hot.
