I bought a White Knight Condenser Tumble dryer for the cupboard under
the stair as there is nowhere for a pipe to reach outside it claim you
should have to empty the bottle after every use or two yet my bottle is
always empty.

I have checked all the pipes and read the manual back to front but it
just doesnt seem to be condensing... heats the room up lovely though!

Any one else had a similar problem or am i just missing something from
the installation of the dryer?

Check the pipe at the back. There's normally one that you can pop off and
connect a drain hose to to hav ethe machine auto-drain the bottle for you.
It's ptobably popped off and nicely buggered the floor under the dryer for
you!

Definitely something wrong. My condensor would almost fill the large bottle
every time until I got round to plumbing it in.

Are the clothes drying ?

I had a similar problem with a medium age dryer. It was fixed with a new fan. After that it condensed about 2 litres per cycle.

Yes, it appears to be faulty. But read the instructions first, in case the
installation required you to remove some sort of plug or suchlike.

Check the venting requirements and leave the cupboard door open.

It's definitely not working right. I've had 3 condensor dryers, none of
them has caused any condensation at all in the room even with doors and
windows shut, it's always amazed me how effectively they do condense.

Are you leaving the door open? If not maybe the problem is you are heating
the air in the cupboard to the point where it's too hot when drawn through
the heat exchanger to condense the moisture being blown out.
