Re: dryer not heating up
Hi Mally
Try the following thread - http://www.fixya.com/problems-solutions/t103658,p117053/Bosch-Dryers.aspx
It might also be relevant to your problem.
Another pointer -
- There might be a heat-sensitive fuse in the exhaust section of the dryer.
The fuse is designed to turn off the heater element if the exhaust
temperature gets too high.
If this fuse is defective, it will keep the heater element from getting current.
Good luck!

For most Bosch washers, the filter is to be found at the front
behind a removable plastic toe panel at the bottom. Remove this
panel (3 screws underneath). If you find a hose there it is to drain excess water.Unscrew filter anti-clockwise, keep plastic bag to collect dirty water, etc. Clean and refit carefully.
Below is for Whirlpool/Kenmore, u might find it helpful. Some
machines have a small trap door on left front bottom, coin trap.
The
filter on your pump is probably clogged with lint and stuff. You have
to remove the bottom front panel, 3 torx screws underneath.The
panel will drop and come off.Drain off the excess water
from the drain pipe you see. The white filter cover is right in front.
Get yourself a good plastic bag to collect water. Unscrew the filter
cover and twist the filter out. Clean out all the stuff and put it back
in carefully.Check your pump too, comes after the filter.
On
some models the filter is located ‘inside’ the big hose from the bottom
of the tub.This takes more time to clean.

off. Drain off the excess water from the hose you see.The white filter cover is right in front. Get
yourself a bunch of towels or a good big plastic bag to collect water. Unscrew
the filter cover and twist the filter out. Clean out all the stuff and put it
back in carefully.

Next run your washer with 2 cups of bleach, hot water.After it starts agitating stop the washer & let it remain for 2 hours.Then continue the wash.

You have a problem with the condensing duct. Possibly clogged with excess and lint and needs to be cleaned out. This requires disassembly of the unit to get to it. Not a difficult job but not easy.
