They do give off a small amount of steam..

But condensation is usually about airflow/movement of air so anything pushed tight to the wall will get a bit of damp caused by condensation, the tumble drier gives of heat so the wall especially if its a cold one will sweat and give a bit of condensation.

        They do give off a small amount of steam.. (General Chat) - Mickdundee, May 21, 20:56:50
        
        That's more of the scientific approach there. Yes it is outside walls that have (General Chat) - Dunney, May 21, 21:00:58
        
        That's about the rub of it and I'd guess that's your problem (General Chat) - Mickdundee, May 21, 21:08:51
        
        I'd guess so (n/m) (General Chat) - Mickdundee, May 21, 21:16:32
        
        Probably more likely than how fat she is then! (General Chat) - Dunney, May 21, 21:15:31
        
        No it isn't damp we had it tested. Deffo condensation but can't quite figure out why it's (General Chat) - Dunney, May 21, 20:50:17
        
        It could be the drier then (General Chat) - emmaroyds, May 21, 20:53:16
        
        Yes i'll have to get the model number. (n/m) (General Chat) - Dunney, May 21, 20:55:34
        
        Mine is pretty low end and we have no problems at all. (General Chat) - lurd, May 21, 21:01:00
        
        yeah, from memory 600'ish but it will last forever (General Chat) - South_West_Canary, May 21, 20:48:15
        
        Might be looking to get one myself by the sound of this. (General Chat) - Dunney, May 21, 20:52:09
        
        Just handy for us to be able to put away under stairs, no need for vent pipe & shit (General Chat) - South_West_Canary, May 21, 20:53:39
        
        they aren`t cheap but they are the Rolls Royce of driers (General Chat) - emmaroyds, May 21, 20:56:44
