problem with zanussi tumble drier

My Zanusssi condenser tumble-dryer is playing up at the moment, and I'm wondering if it's fixable (by me), or if I'll need to pay for someone to come out..

It's just a basic dryer, with a timer setting and a fabrics setting (cottons/synthetics)

Usually the tumble dryer does its cycle, then the 'end' light shows and it beeps to indicate the end of the cycle. I then empty the water container.

But what's been happening recently is, the tumble dryer stops tumbling after only a few minutes, it beeps, and the indicator light says that the water container is full (when it isn't). I pull the water container out and a load of water leaks out onto my floor :( so it seems like there's a pool of water getting stuck somewhere in the tumble dryer, and it thinks the tank is full when it isn't.

Has anyone encountered this problem? I was wondering if I need to take the back off the tumble-dryer, but I don't want to go fiddling around with things when I'm not an electrician!

Any ideas what I could do?
