Indesit WD10 clothes soaking after drying cycle.

Following a drying cycle the clothes are coming out dripping wet, wetter than after a spin, so obviously picking up water in the drum.

Actions so far. The condenser has been cleaned, water flow to the condenser has been checked that it switches on and off at intermittent intervals. Pump is working and intermittently pumps out during the drying cycle before fresh water to the condenser.

Any other areas to look at?

Is the filter clean, does it get hot , is the waste pipe up high enough.

Thanks for the reply Rocks1

The filter is cleaned out. The drain hose is hooked up so that it rises almost vertical to just above machine height, before a gentle slope away to drain.

As additional item, forgot in first post, the soaking wet clothes are steaming hot at the end of the drying cycle, also I have checked the hot air flow (defeated the door safety lock) and that is adequate, as denoted by the hot clothes.

Machine is capable of pumping out wash water with force!

Ahh clothes steaming that means the condenser valve ain't working. Found at the back with the other inlet valves. Check it with a continuity tester.
