Hotpoint condenser dryer

[kasann]

Any help would be great.

My dryer has started playing up. It's about 4 years old. Firstly its been tripping the electrics after about 50 mins of running time. Then the last time i used it, it wasn't drying as well as it should. I always clean the lint, empty the water and clean the condenser unit. I've ran it for a few mins with nothing in it and it got warm but i heard water inside (haven't heard it before). On closer inspection there's a little water coming out the air intake vent at the bottom and also water under the condenser unit. Is there somewhere else that could be blocked?
Many thanks

I'm sorry i might be being a bit thick here but i cant find it I've unscrewed the metal cover at the back but all thats under that is what looks like a fan.

Found it, was just too scared to prize it off.

Thanks

that metal cover is the heater water is spraying on the heater clean out the little tray where the pump is ,top left of the tray is a little hole you cant see it but push a cable tie in there that will pull more water though ,then blow though the black pipe to clear any muck, you must hose condender every 3 /4 weeks and leave to dry before putting back

Hi there, I've bumped this up to save me writting it all again. After cleaning out the pump assembly at the back, my dryer worked fine for a while but its now taking ages to dry again (with only a little bit of water in the condenser tray). I've looked at the pump assembly and its nice and clean with only a little water in it (before it had a lot). There is'nt a black pipe but i have blown through the grey and the clear one (didn't sound blocked)

Any help gratefully received

Thanks

remove the condenser at the bottom, big silver thing and hose out with a hose pipe put it back when its dry ,do this every 3 weeks
