Much condensation from Zanussi condenser dryer in small space

    Hey, folks. 

    In my house there’s a washing machine and separate Zanussi condenser dryer with one machine sitting over the other. Not having any alternative location, they are stored in a very small room only big enough to take machines with a fire door. Walls of the little room are double fire slabbed. Very little space for ventilation. The dryer is used most days sometimes more than once.There's a lot of condensation when the dryer is used, affecting the interior of the fire door slightly. The dryer is probably 15 years old. I wondered if I installed a new heat pump dryer, would there be less condensation coming from it?

    Any expert advice would be greatly appreciated. 

    Thanks. 

    Mickey

    Not sure about these but is lint basket clean and water container empty.

    Not sure if they are supposed to sweat like that.

    All tumble dryers need ventilation, they need the intake of air to be heated and forced through the clothes in the drum and exit again, the condenser condenses most of the extracted moisture back to water and pumped into the water container but a percentage of moisture will exit, that is where the condensation is coming from, you need fresh air circulating for the dryer to be 100 per cent efficient
