My dryer when not in use sweats (moisture built up) inside. Why?
Answers:
Take a look at the lint traps. There are usually 2 on a dryer... one at the opening that you can clean very easily, and one either on the beginning or end of the vent tube. If these are clogged up, it will keep moisture trapped that releases when the dryer is not being used.
Also, if you remove your clothes before they are completely dry, that means there is still a lot of moisture inside the dryer when you turn it off. Run it on "Fluff" or "Air Dry" for a few minutes and that should clear it out.

it is condensation built up from your wet clothes,,if you run it on air only for 30 minutes it will help to clear it up

Because it's so humid outside the humidity gets inside the dryer and after your done using it the heat from the drying and the humidity mix and therefore it sweats.
Check your lint screen and dryer vent if the are full or take the lint out that may help.
Have you cleaned out the vent lately? Often times dryer lint will get hung up somewhere in the exhaust hose of the dryer and moisture is not properly eliminated. You may also find that your dryer is less efficient and it takes longer to dry clothes. I would take the hose off and vacuum out the vent on the dryer and the hose itself.
Your vent is open to the outside. As hot as its been lately in most places, the heat from outside enters your dryer on the inside, which is air conditioned. This is particularly common if your vent opens directly to an outside wall. Solution 1...the flap on the vent is stuck or inoperative....Solution 2...vent through the floor if their is a crawl space under the house.
You are probably having a heat wave where you are, like everyone else. It is cooler inside your house compared to outside your house (Hopefully). The dryer is vented outside. The unusually hot air from the outside is traving in through the vent into the dryer. THe dryer is cool because it is inside the house. The air outside is hotter (probably hotter than usual) and thus, condensation.
Check the vent cover outside your house, may be its broken and always ajar, you need to change the cover coz I think where you live is too humid........
maybe heating elements, some dryers have two strands of heating elements, mostly GE if one strand burns out, it will not dry completly causing moisture build up ....
