TUMBLE DRIER IN KITCHEN

[Bahco]

I wish to relocate my tumble drier to my kitchen.

Obviously there will be condensation issues as it does not have a pipe to direct the vapour to outside.

Do you think having the fan on will be sufficient to avoid condensation issues.?

Do you mean it is a vented dryer and you simply don't have a suitable hose? [they are available for under a tenner at B&Q]
You'll have problems with both condensation and fluff/dust everywhere - the extractor will not suffice.

Sorry if this sounds obvious - but could it be a condensing dryer?

Is the kitchen on the ground floor, and is the drier supposed to have an elephants trunk to take the steam away?

The drier does not have a hose nor can I see anywhere where you could plug a hose in.
At present it is in the garage but life would be a lot easier if it was in the kitchen.

Is it a condensor drier or an old one where steam blows out round the door? When I last saw one like that the manufacturer did an adaptor plate to attach a hose. If you find the model and make someone here may know.

You are going to have a big prob if you vent steam into the house.

It is about 6 yrs old and is a ' White K Knight Sensor Dry' which blows the steam thru a vent at the bottom.

Ask the manufacturer if they do a hose kit.
