Two years old and now will not dry clothes on any setting. Tried putting a cupful of water into drum and used the warm time setting. Water was not condensed and remained in the drum. Cleaned an amount of lint from concealed water chamber, but not the actual pump. Tried the above again without success.
Does it get warm? Maybe the heater is faulty. Does it exhaust to the outside? Is the vent/filter blocked?
It is a condensing tumble dryer no venting. Yes it gets warm, but clothes remaing damp.
Then is the warm air able to reach the condenser?
How will I know if the warm air is reaching the condenser? There is some water in the condensation container after program cycle. I appreciate your help.
Well done
Thanks. Just noticed that although my problem was with a tumble dryer I had posted under washers. I hope other members with dryer problems find this solution!

It's lint stuck in the dryer that drastically lowers the efficiency.
From another site I found the solution:
1. UNPLUG UNIT
2, remove 4 screws top back edge of top panel and lift off panel.
3. blower will be toward the right rear of unit. To save a hassle later, take a sharp object and scrib an index mark across where the blower meets the plenum, it will help you line it up later.
4. there are four 7mm bolt-head screws holding the blower and blower motor onto the heater plenum. One of the screw is almost impossible to see, but there are 4. I used a "flex-shaft" socket to get them out. This can be a real PITA.
5. carefully lift blower motor out of plenum. You will probably need to shove the whole tub unit to the left to get clearence. IF YOU OPT TO DISCONNECT THE BLOWER WIRES MAKE A DIAGRAM OF WHERE THEY CONNECT!!
6. I usually use a thin knife to scrape each of the vanes on the blower. Then vac everything out and use your hand to check for smutz in the plenum.
7. THE FAN ONLY FITS ONE WAY ON THE PLENUM. be sure to test fit to see if all the holes line up.
8. When motor is back in place, spin the little cooling fan on top of motor to make sure it's not binding. I usually test the unit by plugging it in and starting dryer to make see it runs.
9. Put top of unit back in place.

Check The Ducting To Make Sure There Is No Obstructions Inside. Find The Outlet Outside Where The Duct Goes And See If Your Getting A lot Of Air. In Some Cases You May Have To Remove The Back Of The Dryer To Remove The Biggest Lint Ball In The World.
This Huge Lint Ball Builds Up Over Time And Quickly For Users Who Do Not Clean The Lint Trap On Every Cycle.
All Of The Above Will Cause The Dryer To Not Be Able To Get Good Air Flow Thus Causing The Machine To Have To Much Back Pressure.
Capacity of typical Laundry Basket = 6 kg (dry weight)
Calculation: [(36 cm x 51 cm x 26 cm) / 28317 cubic cm] x 3.5 kg = 5.9 kg

In the absence of any solutions (only questions) I will call out the Bosch engineer.
I have resolved the problem without engaging the oh so expensive engineers. I discovered a large amount of wet lint blocking the condenser grill located in the cavity beneath the dryer drum filters. Removal of the lint was extremely difficult as there is no easy access to the condenser. However, once removed the dryer works perfectly.
