Hotpoint condenser tumble drier not condensing

Hi – I’ve had great help from these forums before, so hope that someone might be able to help with this too… I have a Hotpoint Aquarius (TDC32) condenser tumble drier that has recently stopped collecting water in the water container (the clothes still dry eventually).
