I have a brand new Maytag Brovos dryer that is steaming but not drying...now I see water under the dryer. It seems to be coming from a seal along the bottom of the dryer.

When a dryer usually produces visable water from any part of it's self, the suggestion would be a completely restricted vent line. Such restrictions could be from nests from animals, excess lint, a dip in the vent hose causing lint and water to collect. Since the dryer is leaking water, it is heating and therefore creting steam in an effort to dry the cloths, with a clogged vent the steam has no where to escape to and thus condenses within the dryer and leaks out. The vent needs to be checked by a wualified vent servicing company from the back of the dryer to the point of exit of the home. Pleazer Appliance...
It sounds like the fan isn't working properly (assuming all the ducting is clear).
I hope I have been of help but please do not hesitate to ask if you have any further questions. I appreciate your vote if you appreciate my reply and remember, even if you don't vote for me a please and thank you goes a long way.
People, the first words the poster said were that the dryer was "brand new". All of your suggestions assume the dryer had extensive use. This sounds like a factory defect issue!!!! My brand new Maytag Cabrio gas dryer is also making an obnoxious buzzing sound that seems to cycle on and off as the gas ignites. The buzzing sounds electronic not mechanical. What would buzz when the burner is active?
If thats not it, then you nay have a faulty sensor.
AF
Restricted Airflow Condition
"AF" flashes if a restricted airflow condition exists. Check to make sure the lint screen is clean, the door seal is in place and the vent is not obstructed.
There is a front panel seal ($3.11) and a door seal ($3.20) that you can replace. If the hinges are not worn out, these two parts should fix the dryer. If you go to www.appliancepartspro.com and enter your model number, you will see every part inside your dryer. you can order the parts from this site also.
Please rate solution
Door gasket or sealOver time, door gaskets and seals harden and lose their ability to seal properly. You can't repair the seals. You need to replace them if they've begun to leak.
Stop using the water bottle because the water is overflowing the heater steamer pan and will short the heating element and the part is no longer avaliable and the top will stop drying.
