Bosch serie 8

[dominic2903]

Hello guys, I really need your help to sort out the problem which drive me crazy a few days. My wife keeps asking me to do every day ,
I bought a Bosch Serie 8 dryer, E-Nr: WTYH6790GB/17, Type: WDT66. It runs about 5 mins and stop with the lights coming up, " please empty condenser container".
I tried to clean the filter where collect all the dust from the clothes and turn on again, it happens again after 5-6 mins.
I am thinking that must be a sensor somewhere which i dont know or clean it, try many ways which i know and still stay the same problem.
Hope someone here can help me, I and my wife appreciate.
Many thanks

The condensate container is not the same as the fluff filter. See page 19

Has it been plumbed in to the waste?

It sounds like it is detecting poor airflow, which is probably the result of fluff build up. Best check and clean out the air flow passages.

thanks for your advice. I read page 19, but could not find anywhere in my dryer. at the back and font couldn't have it. I attached a photo below. thanks

You may need to delve in deeper. Classic ways of detecting air flow, are via a blown flap, or by heating an element up, checking it's resistance regularly to see what change there has been, then from that determining the cooling effect of the air flow.

Some Bosch driers have a secret hatch.

Hi, I believe the container is behind the cover at the top left hand corner at the front of the machine.
Does this picture match your machine?
Follow the instructions on p21 to empty it.
...And your pictures show that the condensate pipe hasn't been plumbed into the waste - which means you will probably have to empty the drawer after every dry! Sorry!

hi, yeap, i did, this is the self condenser container. I always clean the and water out every time. ilI attached pic below.

When the machine stops working, is the container already full of water?
If it is, you may need to plumb it in (or, to experiment, put the condensate pipe into a large washing up bowl, and see if the error still occurs). Otherwise it could be an airflow problem, as Harry says?
