If the drum of the washing machine is wet, it means that it was tested by the manufacturer. Manufacturers run a test cycle with every washing machine. This way, they can be sure that the appliance doesn't leak and that there aren't any other problems. Is your washing machine dry? Don't worry, it was still tested. That just means that the drum had time o dry at the warehouse.
