Why does my condenser tumble drier make the walls run with condensation?

Condenser dryers don’t need a vent hose and should turn all the steam into water. But because they run hot, a condenser dryer will heat the air around it and the moisture in the air will condense on any cold surface such as tiles or even other appliances near by if sited in a garage near a freezer as mine is. If it’s not a high quality dryer it may also allow some moist air from the drying process into the room too. The only answer is to create more ventilation or make the room warmer.

Even though it doesn’t need venting, we always have to open the window vent in our garage laundry room to prevent condensation collecting on the freezer door.
