Hi,

If you are having problems with your gas dryer not heating the most common problem is that the ignitor goes bad. Even though it glows sometimes it is still not working properly.

if you dryer is gas check out this gas no heat tip....

If you have an electric dryer, you can have many different things that can go wrong causing the dryer not to heat.

check out this electric no heat tip...

I am not a repair professional. I am a 78 year old man who has been making his own repairs for about 50 years. So the machine ID doesn't mean much to me. I came to fixya looking for a schematic for an really old AM/FM radio and just happened to see that more than 4,700 people were asking for help with a washer repair. I recently had a washer repair of my own and at that time I found an excellent video on youtube which showed me how to take my machine apart. This video (direct drive washer repair) made it possible for me to do my own repair. You probably don't have any idea of the wonderful help you can get from youtube videos. Your first stop should be at youtube. Just search for the help you need. You could search for "clothes dryer repair" or "clothes washer repair" or "dishwasher repair". If you are not able to view and/or download the videos, or after you've seen all you want to see, I suggest you go directly to www.applianceaid.com where they have very good step by step trouble shooting and repair information on washers, dryers. and dishwashers as well as other appliances. Another excellent site is www.acmehowto.com If you have a direct drive top load washer and need help taking it apart these youtube videos are wonderful help. I was so impressed with them that when I saw all these people needing help, I wanted to tell them about the videos. If you look at the back of your top load washer and the panel is solid (no small inspection plate to remove, which would indicate you have a v-belt drive) chances are you have a direct drive and this video (direct drive washer repair) is just what you need. After you've seen all the appropiate videos, or if you have a belt drive washer, you will probably still need help in determining what the trouble is and how to fix it. I suggest you go to www.applianceaid.com where they have very good trouble shooting and repair nformation on most washers and dryers, dishwashers and many other household appliances. I think you'll find what you need there. Another excellent site for DIY help is www.acmehowto.com Don't worry about the timer on a washer, they hardly ever go bad. I realize I haven't solved your problem for you, but I hope I have sent you where you can get help to solve the problem. Good luck with it.

Hi .
If you are located in the u/k, then you need to contact Bosch direct.

The telephone number is::::0844 8928879.

You will need to tell them the model number, and you will also be asked for ENR number, and the FD number.
these are to be found on the rating plate of the appliances
This may be inside the door, or on the front, possibly at the bottom, some times it is found on the rear.

Or if you go on line to their web site, you can download the instructions, but again, you will be askjed for the details I have mentioned before..
I trust this will assist you with your request.
If i can be of further assistance to you, please e-mail.
Thanks.

First clean filter for lint - next be sure the temp sensor at blower if free of lint - next, in the heater contrl unit, two solinods contrl the heating process - I hope it's the first two ideas - Try it - Good luck

Had the same thing. Managed to sort it out by checking a few things and getting my hands dirty.

First things first: Remove the rectangular fascia at the bottom front of the machine - on my model you only need a coin to turn the two plastic screws. Unclip the black rubber drain pipe, remove the plug from the end and drain the water into a bowl (or several bowls).

Then undo the round plug at the bottom left of the machine (more water will come out) which will give you access to the extractor pump. Check that there are no obstructions in there and that the small propeller in there can turn freely.

If there is no obstruction there then we move onto the next steps.

If you can figure out how to remove the front of the machine then you will find this part easier - I couldn't so I ended up reaching in from the back.

First, TURN OFF THE POWER. Then, on the front of the machine, on the bottom left, undo the screws that fasten the extractor pump onto the front of the machine. Then pull the machine out from the wall so that you can get to the back of it. Remove the back of the machine by taking out the ten or so screws.

Looking in from the back: At the bottom-front-right of the machine you will see the extractor pump. It will have two hoses attached to it - a fat one and a slightly thinner one. Reach into the bottom of the machine and remove the power plug from the back of the extractor pump. Then, using a pair of pliers (or something similar) to open the spring clip, remove the thinner of the two hoses (the drain hose) from the pump unit. This can be fiddly - especially if you're doing it from the back of the machine.

Pull the hose out of the machine and check it for obstructions. If there are no obstructions in there then move onto the next step.

Reach back into the machine and, again using the pliers, remove the fatter tube from the pump. Remove the pump from the machine and check it for obstructions in the entry and exit holes, and also make sure that the propeller isn't obstructed. Then shake and squeeze the fatter tube to see if there is an obstruction in there (I had about five quids worth of change stuck in there which was where my issue was located).

If you've found no obstruction by now I'm afraid that I'm stumped :-(

Best of luck.

IT SOUNDS AS THOUGH ITS NOT HEATING IF IT DOESNT IT STAYS IN WASH MODE AND WONT COMPLETE CYCLE NEW HEATER REQUIRED

hi there sounds like a simple case of worn carbons cost about a £10

I have a Haire combo unit. (washer/dryer) The dryer is a condenser type. I had a this problem with the dryer part of my unit. It was still under warranty at the time so naturally I called. When the tech came out he discovered that the heating element had melted the fan all over the blower elements. this problem could have been fixed, however, Haire came out with a newer model and couldn't get the parts anymore because they weren't making them anymore. Needless to say that totally sucked. But, at least the washer still works great. Upon doing a little research, I discovered that most condenser dryers do get too hot to support one or more of thier internal elements. I would not get another dryer like this without asking about this problem and if there has been any rectification of this issue and how so.

you need to put the machine on its front and look under it and you will see a black rubber it gos to the pump and to the drum well the drum one has to come undone with a flat head screw driver and if that's clean then put it back properly when you have done that and you have cleaned the pump out if the machine still done work then your pump has gone you will get one from ebay don't for get to wright down your model number ok good luck

Check the drain pump. It may be jammed. Remove filter and try to turn impellar by hand . If not turning freely, replace pump or remove obstruction.
