Condensation tray? Lol sorry if that's another name for the lint trap/filter, I've just never heard it before

And yes I've cleaned the filter.

Well.. the point of a dryer, is to remove water from your clothes.. said water need to go somewhere.. usually there is a big pull-out tank that you must empty after every job. If this is full, the machine will usually stop, and if it overflows you should have moisture sensors that stops the machine.

I have no idea what type of dryer you have. But the usual ones have a condensation tray.

Not in the US. Most dryers are vented to the outdoors and that's where the moisture goes.

Yea, in Europe the water will usually be in a tank. It’s hot, and as such will warm your house.

I had a dryer once that would stop at uneven intervals during its cycle. I eventually found the culprit to be the door switch. The machine thought the door had opened, no indications or door warnings. Machine just stopped.

Well anyways, google/openAI is your friend good luck

Most locations in the US have more trouble cooling a house than heating it. But for those living in the frozen north, the European style of dryer would be worth looking into.

Upvoted cuz this is entirely new knowledge to me lol. But yea like the other reply, in the US most dryers vent the air outside, along with the condensation, in a singular process.
