Condenser dryer - what could have gone wrong?
9 Answers
I've had a condenser dryer for about 5 years now - it's kept in my garage. Towels have always taken a long time to dry - approx 2 hours. However a month ago we moved the tumbler nearer the garage door (better for ventilation I thought) & to stand on the concrete floor.
The timing could be co-incidental, but now things seem to be taking twice as long to dry. Towels are now taking up to 4 hours - ridiculous, not to mention the cost of electricity! Also, there's a lot of damp fluff & more condensation inside the drum than there ever used to be. It is drying; just taking a lot lot longer.
Any explanations anyone?

I thought with a condenser you could put it any where. Mines in the bedroom at the moment. You don't need ventilation with a condenser. There might be something wrong with it.
Is it heating up properly?
When I had mine fixed he said that with condensers (excuse how I put it) the connection with the water thingy usually goes from the taking out and putting in. He also said they usually go about once a year at the cost of £45....
Also...have you emptied it?
