Question about Creda IWD12 Front Load Washer / Dryer
The mmachine is no obviously broken in any way. The tumble drier is heating (so the element does not appear to be broken), but the clothes are not drying. Compared to a month ago when washing would fully dry in 1-2 hours, it now takes 12 hours to be left with damp clothes (obviously not leaving it on for that long - did it the once - Elec co's have enough money from us already). Is there anything that can be done to improve the efficency of the condensor??
Check your air exhaust (including the lint filter) from the air duct connector (remove duct if necessary) on back of dryer to the exterior of the building. Somewhere, there must be air blockage.

If the dryer tumbles but does not warm up, you either have one or two blown thermal fuses, a burned out element if it’s electric, or a burned out igniter if it’s gas.
If one of the two thermal fuses are blown you will not
get heat. Thermal fuses blow (and are
not resetable, they must be replaced) when the machine gets too hot. Often this is caused by not enough air flow
through the machine. Check and make sure
your exhaust vent is not clogged. Clean
it the best you can to get all the lint, dead mice, bird nests, etc. out. Also make sure air is blowing out of the
machine when it is turned on. If not you
have a blower problem.
The thermal fuses are located on the element casing. They each have two wires coming out of them. They are about 3/4 inch round with screw ears on the sides so they are about 1 1/2 inch long and about an inch across. With a multimeter, check the continuity across the terminals. If there is no continuity the fuse needs to be replaced.
To check the element(s), you can either visually look and see if it is broken or check the continuity with a multimeter. No continuity means the element is broken. Replace if necessary.
To check for a broken igniter, take out the old one and
look at it. If it looks broken or very
burned, replace it.

This model doesn't have an air duct. I believe it has a condenser, could the problem lie there and is it possible to clean them?
Please let me know location of condenser in the tumble dryer for the replacement
Creda Tumble Dryer, is only heating very slightly and taking 2-3 hrs to dry, Dryer is about nine yrs old can anyone help?
