Anonymous: The water is condensing in the vent hose. Try to make sure the hose doesn't have any big bends, also make sure the hose is fitted to a proper vent grill with a cowling or shutters, which prevents the wind blowing fluff and the hot air back into the pipe. Sharon Roberts: I wouldn't do that. Outside is no place for domestic electrical appliances.There must be some room somewhere in the house for a small dryer. We used to have one in one of our bedrooms. Melvin: Did the hose eventually go outside? Not sure exactly what you mean.

I just purchase a home and discovered that the previous home owner did not run the dryer vent outside, but instead run it inside the wall. Can I put a socking on the end of the dryer holes? or What do I need to do?

we have inherited a 3yr old Bellers tumble dryer from the owners of the flat we have bought . It has been put in a cupboard in the hall. We couldn’t understand why the washing wasn’t drying. Is there any way we can get it to work without having to replace it with a condensor dryer.

We are considering buying a dryer as we have a little baby and our mountain of clothes is ever expanding. We are thinking of putting it in the back garden and covering it with a tarpaulin. If we were to do this would it make sense to buy a vented one which is cheaper than the condenser?

Our vent pipe from our Tumble drier has quite a lot of water sitting in the bottom of the bend during use, and we have to lift it along the length and empty it in to a bowl, do you know why this is happening please? we put the end of the vent pipe out of an open window when drier is in use.
