Steam coming out near bottom of door causing water to pool

My LDS5811 seems to have steam coming out 4 small outlets at bottom of door that is causing it to condense and drip onto floor.

Does anyone know what I can do about this? Why is steam coming out there and where are the steam vented normally?

Steam coming out is not normal and you should get it serviced soon. While not dangerous, it probably means that water is leaking inside the door panel from the "Hybrid Drying System" that is a feature which LG uses/touts. Other disheashers use a conventional condensing drying system.
The moist air enters through the internal drying system in the door panel, dry air is added from the outside air with the help of a fan and that air is routed though ducting down to the bottom of the door.
That system is clearly broken. If you have more questions on this, please reply. Good luck!

My Saeco Incanto Sirius machine keeps asking for yet another VENTILATE cycle

This means the water cannot flow through the machine. Normal fix is to prime the machine (turn water dispenser on, fill a cup) or descale the machine. Go through the menu, select descale, enter, then turn the steam knob fully anti-clockwise. You should put the descaling solution in the water tank first.
If you have the auto-descale in the menu then run it. Run the solution through the machine twice. Then rinse well.

What canI do to get the steam to come out at full capacity?

Mine won't work too. I opened the bottom and found lots of boiling water residual around the outlet. That is why no steam come out. Even if I cleaned it, steam becomed very little, 10% of original. I would say Dirt Devil steam mop is just gabbage product. I do not recomment anyone to pay $50 to buy no more than one or twice usage!

Gaggia Coffee Delux Steam pressure probem

1: do you pres the switch for steam and wait until it is ready? 2: how long time machine needs to be ready for steaming?
solution 1 = if you don't press the steam switch on you will have very small amount of steam. solution 2 = if the machine gets ready only for few seconds to steam, than you must change your steaming thermostat attached in boiler(there are 3 of them: 1 security 2 coffee brewing 3 steam
i hope you fix it soon and enjoy in perfect espresso

No more steam coming out.

The channel between the steam chamber on the pump side and the exit chamber of the steam chamber is probably plugged, I opened up the chamber at both ends and cleaned it out with CLR and a heavy wire.

Drying cycle problems

Take the door fascia off, and you'll see a pipe from the steam outlet to the Soap Dispenser in the door.
Take that off, and flush out the small bit of food that is blocking the tube.
Put the cleared pipe back in situ.
Run machine, you should get steam, and no water.
When it blocks again, and you get the water again, repeat unblocking process etc...

Pool of water from freezer.

The likely cause is the drainage outlet is blocked by dirt deposits or frozen ice behind the plastic panel inside the freezer compartmrnt. Melted ice overflows the tray insteady of being discharged through the tray's drainage outlet tube.

To check if the tray drainage hole is blocked, it is easy to take off the plastic panel inside the freezer compartment by undoing the six small screws.

Please don't forget to switch off the electric before you attempt to clean the blockage. Good Luck
