In the apartment building where I work, we have stackable

Moisture on the outside of the dryer? That is bizarre! That, alone,
should be the clue that
something is wrong outside of the dryer.........dryer vent separated or
clogged? AC vent
that blows cold air onto the dryer? The outside of the dryer would have
to be cooler in
order for condensation to form on it, right????? That seems highly
unlikely. Do they run
a dryer cycle on "air only", the air is cold and the room humid?

pipes are 4" pipe that gang into a 6" pipe farther down the line. We
had been told that that was our problem, but it has been hooked up the
same for twenty years without a problem. It is occurring in two
buildings (separate tenants, of course). We only use Whirlpool
appliances and are completely at a loss.

I was wondering if you had ever heard of such a problem?

In one of the apartments, we switched out he washer/dryer unit, but
they still call with the same problem. I personally haven't seen the
water that has formed, because when we get there it is dry. We can't
duplicated the problem, thus, cannot fix it. It seems to happen once
every three weeks.

I had read that it could be a by-product of the gas, but it is only
happening in 1 unit out of 6 and the gas is run in the same pipes for
all the units, so wouldn't they all show this problem if it is the
gas?


Are there CO alarms? Working?

We've checked the units several times. We had a Whirlpool repair
person check it and everything is working correctly.

Could it be just a tenant with a loose canon?


Worth considering. Have them keep a log of what they are doing when the
moisture problem
occurs and where, exactly, the moisture appears.

argh. Thanks for reading.
