thank you soo much! back at my mum's after years, only have a carry on case of clothes so needed the dryer, after sitting here for hours and it's still no drying, figured out condenser needed cleaning , watched your video and just was amazed that it was completely blocked (mum never knew to clean that part), I appreciate your video thank you, mum was going to throw out a few yrs old dryer she'd bought brand new because it took too long to dry anything :)
so glad to have moved from a condenser dryer to a vented one now. I used to hate the task of cleaning out the condenser once a month with a shower . Now with the vented dryer all I have to do is just clean the fluff out of the filter. An all the hot air and moisture all goes out throgh the wall no to outside. I know the condenser dryers are convenient in that you can place them anywhere , but give me a vented type tumble dryer any day over a condenser dryer.
I get in so many modern condensers that are broken because people dont clean the condenser. Even if they do look after them. The ones that have a tank at the top of the machine end up getting leaking problems. Vented is better and so simple. Oh and actually saves energy too.
@@whichwasher2007 - yeah, funny enough i was just reading an article last night saying that Vented dryers use about a fifth less energy than a normal condensed dryer uses - heat pump dryers are more efficient and economical than normal condenser dryer , but look how much heat pump dryers are to purchase at the beginning!
whichwasher2007 Vented dryers might dry faster, but you are essentially heating the garden! Fine, in warmer climates although this begs the question why you aren't drying outside on a line! In much of norther Europe, not to mention many more northerly US states condensers make more sense- the heat is emitted into the home, reducing the requirement for space heating and therefore saving further emissions and cash.
For 30 years I've used vented tumble dryers with no problems. I've got a year-old condenser dryer and it's a pain to maintain/clean, as well as an increased fire risk!@@spencerwilton5831
Incase it helps anyone else! The water tank is underneath the condenser, look for a blue tag! Our friends was full and I couldn’t find this info anywhere :)
Hmm. Is this outside the UK. I'm certain all of our beko dryer tanks are at the top in the UK market. Looked at this and I can see where a bottom water tank is to go.
What the Frick!!! I've been using long items to clean mine out. Gunna wash mine now as it's not getting past 2mins of drying and hoping don't have to buy new machine
Our beko condenser dryer takes way too long too dry clothes , we follow the dial guides but takes over 3 hrs too dry medium amount of washing any advice would be welcome
If the wire to the sensor for moisture breaks. It will dry to maximum permitted time which is around 3 hours. Try the same load on a timed setting. Like 90 minutes and see if that drys fine.
Could be a number of things, yes a broken wire to the sensor - 2nd problem could be that one half of the heater element has an open circuit or broke (so instead of getting high heat (2kw) the tumble dryer could be just running on low heat (1kw - only half of element working) - 3rd problem the heat cut out switches ( PTC I think its called) keeps detecting overheating and cuts out the element so that the tumble dryer does not catch fire, so keeps cutting the heat out and just cold air from the fan is blowing - 4th Problem, if you have the in drum sensor type (2 long silver metal strips at the bottom of the drum they need cleaning with a damp cloth with a tiny amount of washing up liquid on it (sometimes a film can build up on the long metal sensors) - 5th problem , you may have to take that sensor plate fully off (2 or 4 screws hold it on) and behind it find a whole lot of fluff, you have to remove all that. Then the sensor will work properly and end cycle when clothes are dry. Good luck. ua-cam.com/video/S7UxRPYKITA/v-deo.html
John Conway what washer are you using? A quality European front loader will spin at double the speed of a typical US style top load machine, meaning greater water extraction and much reduced drying times.
Cleaning this just saved me £250 on the new one the wife wanted me to buy because it wasn't heating up. Cheers mate
Saved me a huge headache from a grumpy wife, thank you 👊🏽

Had tumble dryers for 30 years, always vented ones. Last one I bought was a condenser one- big mistake!. Cleaning the condenser is a pain...
Thank you! I never knew I needed to do this

Did you clean the filter inside the dryer ?
But do you after leave it for 12 hours
No I just put it back in after I've cleaned mine it still works no problem
