Default Raining in the Garage and Dryer fuse went bang

Raining in the Garage and Dryer fuse went bang



Two issues which may be related??



Firstly walked into the garage after swmbo complained the dryer had just
gone bang, oh and its raining in the garage.



Indeed it there were numerous drops of water coming from the roof, which is
made from corrugated asbestos sheets, laid on top of each other in the
correct method (like roof tiles)



The water appeared to be running down the inside of the roof until it pooled
in a large enough pool to form a drop, thus gibing the impression of rain
(about 10 drops a minute)

This coincided with the first sun of the day covering the roof.



Could this have been condensation which formed on the inside of the roof
melting under the suns heat ?



Also the Hotpoint tumble dryer blew a fuse, once the fuse was replaced it
started ok, but sounded like the motor bearing had failed (or frozen), one
it warmed up its appears ok.



Am I correct here? And if so how could I stop the condensation, is it even
possible with out sealing the garage. Ideally as cheaply as possible, as I
am planning on demolishing the garage in the next year or two.



Thanks

Just to ask a stupid question first - Does this dryer have proper
extraction if it needs it?

Really need to find out why its wet rather than guessing. Only then can
you fix it.
