If you are experiencing moisture inside the dryer drum, then you have a clog somewhere. A dryer needs proper air flow in order to dry efficiently. If you have not had your dryer exhaust vent ducting checked anytime recently, now might be a good time to do so.
HOW TO DETERMINE IF YOU HAVE A DRYER CLOG:
Remove the dryer exhaust vent hose from the back of the dryer and attempt to dry a load of clothes as you normally would. The air escaping the back of the dryer should be forceful and warm (about 140 degrees F).
If the air flow is normal and the clothes dry properly, you need to check the ventilation from the point where it leaves the dryer, to where it exits your home. Check for kinks, sags or significant bends in the vent ducting that may be causing choke points where lint can accumulate. In addition, it is strongl;y recommended that you use the semi-rigid aluminum ducting as it resists crushing and is heat resistant.
If the air flow is weak, then you have a clog INTERNAL to the dryer. The lint screens do not catch everything. Some lint, along with moist air from your clothes gets exhausted through the blower fan housing and out through the ducting. This is normal. Lint can accumulate over time, however. If allowed to restrict the air flow, the moist air cannot escape and tends to permiate the lint with moisture. Once the lint becomes moist, it sticks inside the ducting and collects more lint to the point where it starts to restrict air flow and reduce the dryer efficiency. It is highly recommended that you check your dryer blower fan housing and internal ducting about once per season to prevent this.
If gone unchecked, the dryer will actually overheat to the point of failure. Accumulations of lint is also a major fire hazard. The majority of the dryer failures I have repaired were caused by poorly installed, kinked, or clogged dryer ventilation.
If you have any questions, please let me know. I hope you find this information helpful.
If you have moisture in the dryer, thats mean dryer vent clogged (usually outside) ... Sometimes its lint build up on the vent mesh or flapper. Another time it can be bird nest blocking airflow . Read more:https://howtofixit.net/dryer-heating-up-...

Your dryer vent is probably plugged up and needs to be cleaned or the vent hose behind the dryer is kinked.
I had my vent cleaned a couple of weeks ago and I still have a problem with condensation!
Seems like its not been properly cleaned. Did they clean dryer vent from outside or from inside. You can read more :https://howtofixit.net/dryer-heating-up-...
