I will try and help with your Whirlpool Condenser Tumble Dryer AZB86802 problem.
You are going in the right direction. it sounds like the machine is trying to dry the clothes but the water chamber at the back of the machine where the pump is connected to which is for 430 in the diagram, below may not be transferring the water and the switch system is telling the machine that the reservoir is full of water you will need to make sure that this Reservoir does not have any water in it and the pump is transferring the water correctly to the collection bowl.
Make sure all the ducting is clear of any fluff and you have thoroughly cleaned out the condenser plate and inspect the pump for any blockages and make sure the pump is working correctly also make sure that the switch is working correctly the activating the pump. there is an exploded diagram at the bottom of the page with all the parts related to your model number of machine. I've also added some useful videos and there are plenty more videos under the tumble dryer section to assist you in your repair

Common Whirlpool Condenser Tumble Dryer AZB86802 faults with links to the right repair guide
I have included a lot of videos in the links below on these tumble dryers to assist you in repairing your tumble dryer; I have also included an exploded diagram of your machine with all the parts that you need listed below that just click on the relevant and it will take you to a search result
- No heat
This is the most common fault on tumble dryers.
Vented dryers: this can be a fault with the thermostats, heater, or on some occasions, it might be the timer or the relay on the printed circuit board.
Condensor dryers: this might be any of the above but you also have a condenser plate that collects the water and then is either pumped to the collection tray or flows into a tank. Check pump unit and float switches.
Heat pump dryers: these are much more complicated they use a refrigeration prosses to heat the cloths and use the cooling side to condense the water for collection. Check compressor is running, check NTC sensors and check filters, and also that it has the right amount of refrigeration gas (normally only done by an engineer)
- Drum not turning
This will stop the dryer from drying. You may have to replace a faulty belt or in other cases, look at the motor, motor capacitor, or the jockey wheels. Again there are relays on printed circuit board types that can go faulty.
- Not starting
Whilst, not a common problem, you may have a faulty door switch, starter relay if fitted, or can be start button or PCB.
- Noisy Machine
This is usually caused by faulty bearings, jockey wheels or worn felt pads. The motor can get dust build up in the bearings, also the fan blades can distort in shape and make noise rubbing the housing.
- Water leaks.
This can be a simple as the water tank (in a condenser tumble dryer) has not been emptied, or not placed back into the housing correctly. The condenser plate can need cleaning. The pump unit might not be working. Or the ducting system can be clogged with fluff etc. See servicing tumble dryer.
- Tumble dryer reports a fault code or error code.
Error codes can be on the display or given in certain lights flashing sequences. Tumble dryer fault codes are not universal but may only point you or an engineer in the right direction they are not 100% accurate they are only that for guidance. Your owner’s manual may help you identify the problem and even suggest a fix. In other cases, you’ll need an engineer to trace the fault. Don’t be tempted to ignore a fault code, even if the dryer seems to be functioning normally. Some codes are ‘early warning signs’ and fixing the machine at an early stage could save you time and money in the long run.Contact us with the full model number and detailed description
