We've moved house, and our condensing tumble dryer will go into an understairs cupboard. We know that, despite the condensor, the dryer still pumps out a lot of moist air - and we don't want the cupboard or the underside of the staircase to become damp. Luckily, this cupboard is on an outside wall, so it would be easy to vent pipe. Question is - do I need to buy a new (venting) dryer, or is there are way of converting a condensing dryer to be externally-vented? I've happy with taking the back off the dryer etc. I'm just wondering if condensing dryers still have the ability to be vented, with a bit modification ?

Hi.
With most Hotpoint/GE dryers the blower motor is not spin by a belt. The problem is unlikely the blower motor. The problem is lint in the air ducts and in the blower housing. The lint results in overheating and the high limit switch cuts off the power to the heater (burner or element depending on the model).
As a result the dryer does not heat up.
Access the heating group and remove lint from the air ducts. Also clean the lint filter.
Hotpoint appliances are built by GE. Below service manuals for different GE-manufactured dryers:
