Hi just wondering if some1 can help me, iv got a sensor condenser tumble dryer and it stops going when the cloths are still damp, dose any1 know what it might be? and if any1 knows any1 who could possibly fix it for cheap or should i just get a new one??
our old one used to do that when the lower filter was blocked- not the one you usually empty each time, but e one further down.Also some need their water containers emptied after each load. falling that,it may be an element going. There used to be a mannie in Thurso that mended them.
go through the manual [troubleshooting]
check those filters
9/10 times its them
it wont be the element, they either work or not
it will be the dampness sensor being fooled
typically because the damp [conductive] air is not getting through to it because the airway it blocked
dx
sounds like the thermostats gone.
should just be a case of screw the old one off the back and replace it.
its not expensive.

I'll second the comment about the lower filter.Quote:

Other problem we did have with the condenser tumble drier was if the vent to the outside got frozen, which it can do quite easily as it is water rather than moist air that is vented.
hey all than for comments, i empty the water filter after every load and clean out the bottom filter every 1-2 months so its not them. It dosent have a vent that goes outside just one that fills with water.
