Tumble dryer

gadget88

My tumble dryer has been steaming up my windows lately. I emptied all the dust and water and tried to change settings. Opening door briefly is a short term fix but often it’s getting my tiles and food in cupboard wet any ideas how to sort this?

What sort of tumble drier? Vented? Condensing?

Sometimes it’s full but I think it still does it even after emptying

Maybe you need to empty it each time and then monitor how much it’s still steaming up the room? Because if it’s full, the moisture still has to go somewhere.

Does it have a removable condenser that needs cleaning? https://www.beko.co.uk/support/how-to-guides/tumble-dryers/how-to-clean-your-tumble-dryers-condenser

Ours needed the condenser removing and throughly cleaning twice a year or so as it got clogged with damp fluff that had bypassed the initial filter.

How,old is it?  Over time the door seals do become less effective and the heat can affect plastic fittings so the door doesn't close as tightly as when new.

I'd also get the back/top off see how much lint is around the drum.

It’s about a year old at most. There was lots of dust in fan and I cleaned that. Seems to steam up still. Done filter not sure what else i can do?

I have the same model. It generally gets pretty good reviews, including from me! One difference is we connected ours directly to the drain so the drawer doesn't need emptying.

Have you checked the condenser as mentioned by @Jonboy_1984 above? It pulls out from a panel bottom left. One year sounds like long enough for it to need a good clean (the manual actually says it should be done every 30 cycles, but that seems a bit OTT). The instructions suggest using a shower to clean, but I blow the fluff out with the hose outside then let the water drain out before using again.

Which of the lights on the front come on when you're using it and especially at the end of the cycle? The one on the left in the middle row means the condenser needs cleaning, but I find ours rarely lights.
