Electric dryer no start does nothing
Check dryer Terminal block prongs both outside prongs should give combined 220, and 110 each if u check 1 outside & 1 center (ground) prong. Also check house electrical outlet for full voltage.
CHECK THERMAL SHUT OFF THERMOSTAT USUALLY LOCATED ON THE BLOWER. for OHMS or resistance with a meter. Should show a closed circuit. Ohms WHEN THIS FUSE BLOWS IT WILL SHUT DOWN EVERYTHING.
NEXT Test the PUSH start switch with meter for OHMS. Should show OHMS when pushed in or on start, and no ohms or infinity when in off position.
If you hear a humming/clicking sound from motor area you more than likely have a bad motor.
Try this test out to see if u have weak windings or relay/capacitor on motor.
Open the dryer door and turn by hand the drum while machine is onONposition. And you or someone else presses the door engagement switch in. If it starts up then u have bad windings
Another thing to check is the belt safety switch. With a multi meter.
Especially if u just replaced the belt.The belt safety switch is attached to theTensionerand motor. IT LOOKS LIKE A DOOR SWITCH SOMEWHAT a little black pc of plastic with 2 prongs going into it. Sits at bottom of motor. Under theTensioner. Attach meter clips to the 2 prongs on switch, Then when the little white push button is pressed in it should show continuity and none when released.
Lastly checkurDOOR SWITCH ?for continuity with a meter when the button is pushed in the (on/Door closed position,) it may have gone bad.

Hey GOD IS GOOD !!!! WHICH IS WHY MY ADVICE IS FREE
Well I would recheck the water reservoir is fully inserted ....the door has no debris inside the lock....the bottom filter is cleaned not just the door filter.if this still not fixes then try a reset by switching off at socket then whilst holding start button without releasing for at least five seconds turn on power and listen for a click.sometimes a sensor is stuck and not relaying proper status.
I had exactly the same problem and got it fixed by the Bosch repair service today.
The culprit is that in certain areas there may be algae in the air that thrive to grow in the main water reservoir and clog up the water pump that fills the condensation compartment.
(note: There are two water tanks in the Ecologixx 7 - one user serviceable condenser tank up top and the non-user serviceable main water reservoir sealed inside the machine)
This is main water reservoir is located sealed under the water pump under the tumble dryer drum.
Dismantling instructions:
1. remove the top of the tumble dryer first (two screws at the back
2. remove the right side panel with another few screws (looking from the front)
3. disengage the multi-tooth elastic band by twisting the spring loaded roller at the bottom).
After this you have access to the water pump and the Styrofoam float that triggers the empty condenser tank warning.
If the pump is entirely clogged you might need to replace it and the float.
Then clean the bottom water reservoir from the algae infested water with a pump+hose and a bottle washing brush and circulate clean water through the machine (re-engage the elastic band before running the engine) with the Warm-program.
To kill the algae you need to run about 250ml of clear raw vinegar through the pump system by running the machine in the Warm program for 10min and then rinse the excess vinegar out by putting about half a condenser tank of warm water into the machine and running the Warm-programme for 30min. (this will release the clean water into the condenser unit for the self-cleaning function and then pump it back up into the condenser water tank and dilute and circulate the raw vinegar out of the machine).
You should also do a vinegar sanitization run before all extended periods of disuse of the machine by pouring 250ml of vinegar into the large round hole under the top condenser tank (this is where the condensed water is poured for the self-cleaning run).
Run the Warm-program without the condenser tank in place until you can verify visually that the pump is circulating the vinegar through the hose in the top left back corner of the condenser tank opening (there is a overflow drain at the back so everything coming up goes promptly back down into the main reservoir (small hole in the back corner bottom).
Then place the condenser water tank half full with hot water (not boiling) and let the Warm-programme run for 30min to dilute and circulate the vinegar-water solution out of the machine back into the condenser reservoir.

See above video as a reference.
Note during installation of 4 wire cable the removal of the neutral/frame bonding wire and its relocation (stowed) with the neutral lug. Yours is missing the neutral/frame bond wire but thats ok since it will not be needed for 4 wire.
First things first. You need to get the terminal block put back in its proper location. The 3 wire cable must not have been properly clamped allowing the terminal block to be pulled from its mount. See following pic. Snap it back into place. Replace the cable clamp if failing.
Your 4 wire connections are as follows. I drew as individual wires for clarity only. Your 4 wire cable(sheath) must be inserted and retained by the cable clamp. If cable clamp is not functional you must replace the clamp before continuing.
The sump (where the pump sits) is probably full of gunk, you need to take the side off( rh side on older models, lh on newer models) pump sits bottom rear of dryer and has a plastic cover over it
first try unplugging it for 5 minutes and see if it resets to factory settings. Then maybe... but not sure.. the red button will work again.
Best to you.
There is no reset button. If your exhaust vent is bent or kinked, that restricts air fly and causes dryer to overheat. Probably need to call a reputable service person.
Got a bosch classixx 7 rear vented sensor tumble dryer, when turned on it works perfect for the 1st dry but if I do a 2nd load it switches to end after 2 mins . . I have followed the instructions turning to 6 pm and clockwise once , I get iron dry and cupboard dry lights on with flashing start button . Any ideas what this fault maybe
