Bosch WVT1260 washer dryer not drying




By searson_davi on Dec 23, 2008

Hello, I hope you can help.

Essentially the problem seems to be that no hot air is being circulated around the drum as the clothes are cold and damp even after a drying cycle. I have tried both delicate and normal drying, but no joy. I have emptied the filter on the front of the machine (which did have a plastic shirt clip in it - broken!). There is water going in to the machine, and the water is being pumped out so the condensing side of things looks to be in order. I believe there is a thermal cut out, where is this situated?? And is it something that anyone could reset??

Many thanks,

- Ok, sounds like a different problem to mine.
I did manage to fix mine, but I have a feeling it was more fluke than judgment.
If you remove the lid, by taking the 2 screws from the back (you will require a torx driver, not a phillips/pozi, or flat head) you will see a rectangular section tube lagged in some form of heat resistive material, this is where the hot air gets pumped from the rear pump, past the heating element and then blown into the drum. On top of the rectangular tube, there are three thermostats one has a little dongle thing on top, red in colour, if you fiddle around with this in a kind of random manner, it will eventually reset itself, or at least mine did. Anyway mine is now working as good as new. It may be worth having a go with this yourself, although it does sound like a different problem altogether.
P.S. Make sure you switch off at the plug if you do take the lid off!!
Best of luck.
