	Had trouble with their tumble dryer during the cold weather, ours is in the garage which is integral so not that cold also has a radiator in it, the elephant trunk hose kept condensating up & eventuatly blocked completly with water, i bought one of those indoor condensor vent kits that claim you can use it without an outside vent, yeh right don't waste your money, they DON'T work.

	If the hose is flexiable then it's not safe to use as lint gets trapped in it and can start a fire in the long run, You need a rigid tube and even then you should clean it out a few times a year. Ours over here in Canada has to vent outside so the outside vent will freeze over night, with condensation on the inside on the pipe. We always find it's okay once the dryer is working as it melts it away, BUT you must keep an eye on it to make sure that happens...usually only a few minutes. Not much help I know sorry !
