Default Under sink pipes wet when using dryer

Got weird problem in that whenever we put our washer dryer on to dry the cold water inlet pipes under the sink get wet. I'm guessing it's some kind of condensation or something, very odd though!

The washer is next to the cupboard where the pipes are, anyone had this before or know why it does it?

It's a new cold feed only washer dryer.

Where does your washer/dryer vent to? Perhaps it needs an external vent - the water from the clothes has to go somewhere.

Outlet is plumbed in under the sink

Thgouth it'd be condensation, just odd how only when drying it does it Not used to having a house with heating hence not used to a warm house :P

Well, the warm, moisture-laden air from the dryer doesn't use the same outlet as the water waste. It must be discharging it into the atmosphere, hence the condensation.
