About your condenser tumble dryer
A condenser tumble dryer collects moisture rather than sending it outside through a vent hose. A long programme, a full-container message and a drum that will not turn are different problems. Tell UKCDA which you noticed and the exact model, so we can review your enquiry without assuming a failed part.
A container message is not a diagnosis
Say whether your dryer normally collects water in a container or drains through a connected hose. Describe any message exactly and whether it appears immediately or part-way through the programme. If water has appeared on the floor, stop using the dryer and mention the leak. Leave internal pumps, hoses and electrical covers for the engineer.
When clothes remain damp
Tell us which programme and load type were in use, whether the drum turned and whether the cycle ended normally. Describe a recent change in performance without repeatedly running a faulty machine to test it. Maintenance instructions differ: only use the routine cleaning instructions for your exact model, and do not assume that a heat exchanger is removable or washable.
Condenser or heat pump?
Heat-pump dryers also condense water, so the presence of a water tank alone does not identify the drying system. Check the appliance paperwork or model reference if you are unsure. Our heat-pump dryer guide explains the extra details useful for that type; the office can help identify the category from your model.
Prepare the model and fault details
Let us know which dryer type you have and whether it is stacked. Stop using a machine that smells burnt or overheats.
- Full brand and model, not just the capacity on the front.
- Container or direct-drain arrangement, if known.
- The programme, displayed message and when the problem occurs.
- Whether the dryer is stacked, in a cupboard or difficult to reach.
Include the brand and complete model reference, with any product or service number shown. Our model-number guide explains where accessible labels may be found.
Use an accessible label or appliance paperwork. Leave fitted units, heavy appliances and electrical covers in place. If you cannot reach the label safely, tell the office. Include any displayed message exactly as shown and describe what happened before the fault, without running repeated tests.
Access to the appliance in EC3P postcode area
Give the house or flat number, full postcode and the best contact for the visit. Mention stairs, lift or concierge arrangements, controlled parking and any restrictions on reaching the appliance. Tell us whether it is fitted behind a kitchen door, stacked or in a narrow cupboard.
For a tenant's or business appliance, identify who can authorise the work and who will provide access. The office checks these arrangements before agreeing an appointment.
Charges, scope and confirming a visit
We review the model, address and work required, explain applicable charges and confirm availability before agreeing a visit. Sending an enquiry does not take payment, reserve an appointment or guarantee a completed repair. Parts availability and the appliance's condition affect the options; further parts or work are discussed before you decide.
UKCDA is an independent repair business. Brand names identify appliances and do not imply manufacturer approval. If a manufacturer guarantee or service plan may cover the appliance, check its arrangements before requesting a chargeable visit.
