Zanussi Whirlpool Condenser Dryer Problem

So, somewhere along the line, something is preventing the water from going into the plastic container.
I've checked the attachment at the back of the plastic container, it looks fine.

Any thoughts on what's going on there?
Can I fix it?

For the water to get to the plastic container it is pumped if up high or by gravity if down low(yourcase) if water is not getting to the container it is usually the pump is gone(which does not apply to you) or the tubes to the container are blocked with fluff.

Thats has been my experience.
