Hmmm!, That could be a blocked condensor unit?

It dries the clothes, does it?

Unless you have the patience of Noah, use Repairs@, or if you wanna try it yourself, unplug the machine first.

Yup! 😕

If you use the search facility, there’s lots of posts about this.

Note: It might not be your condensing unit!

The condensing unit is the large plastic (see-thoughish) tub thing on the back of the main tub. I say see-throughish, because it should be fluffed up!

To acess it the washer’s cabinet has to be split, which is top off, then the whole back half of the machine comes off. If you can’t do that, I’d call an engineer then! 😉

I have had the same fault if the condensor unit comes away form the top mounting if you take the lid off you will see a tube out of place
