This probably means the thermostat has tripped. It's a common fault with these tumble dryers - it may be possible to fix it by resetting the thermostat:

Unplug the machine!
Remove the heater assembly (rear of the machine - two screws to remove the spindle cover then another half dozen screws and the heater assembly comes away).
Take out the heater - two screws hold it in.
At the top are two thermostats - a white one and a black one. The black one has a small hole in it and can be reset by pushing a pin into the hole until a 'click' noise is heard.
Reassemble, plug back in and test.
Note that even if this fixes the problem the unit will probably show F10 a few weeks later; I think it's just the way these machines are - a design fault.

If the above doesn't solve the problem then it may be worth buying replacement thermostats - a kit will include both the black and the white on... Hope this helps Tim

What is the highest and long distance you can put the heat exhaust external vent.

Height and length are not a major concern. Clear, unobstructed flow of hot air from the dryer is the important thing. I do not design clothes dryers but I generally feel that you could vent your dryer through your roof ( 10 - 15 feet ) and the length is less important a factor. Important: Being able to check and clean the vent system is important so place it in a serviceable area as best you can. Always follow the instructions that come with your dryer. Consult a technician when in doubt.

Bosch WTL 5410 dryer condensation and washer

First, let me say get more than one bid, second make sure that the construction person
knows what they are talking about. My electrician put a 20 amp with 12 gage wire for the
washer which he thought I would need. Well it turns out the washer plugs into the dryer
which uses a 30 amp he had installed it. Turns out the guy who was to do the installation
insisted that he would have to redo this. I saved over 300.00 from his stupidity and found
a new plumber.
