I'd actually wondered if I could get away with just fitting a vent to
the cupboard door so that the hot air could vent gradually to the
hall...

Thanks again for the info!

You'll be dumping a couple of kilowatts into the cupboard while it is
running. Having that in an enclosed space is probably a bad idea.
Having it come out into the house - if it is really dry - could be
handy, as it will save heating.

Does anyone know if condensors these days are closed or open circuit?
By which I mean:

Do they suck in air, dry the clothes with it, try to get most of the
moisture out, then blow it back out, or
Do they have some air which circulates, being heated, drying the
clothes, then cooled to extract the water before going back around.

If any significant moisture comes out you don't want it in the house!
