My Hotpoint Aquarius CTD00 isn't drying the clothes anymore, it just seems to be boiling them.

Symptoms :-

1. When machine is ran with a half load of wet clothes for 30 mins almost no water is put into container.

2. After 30 mins condensation is visible on the front of the machine and when i open it the steam comes flooding out.

3. There is a noise almost like the machine is struggling.

4. Water is collecting in the condenser unit.

Apart from this everything else is ok.

Could someone please help much appreciated.

If fluff collects in the bottom it will clog up the small opening to the back. At the back of the machine there is a small unit at the bottom, the condensed water flows in here and is pumped up to the top into the collections vessel. My drier (the same) got a hole in the filter allowing fluff in. If you take out the condensing unit at the front you can stick your hand in all the way to the back and try and clean it out, or try and prise off the back unit and take it out by hand
