More Troubleshooting

Efficient Energy Consumption

The Bosch WTW863S0GB Dryer is equipped with a condensation dryer system featuring a heat pump and automatic cleaning of the heat exchanger, ensuring efficient energy consumption and reduced maintenance requirements.

Drying Capacity and Ventilation

Users should use the maximum recommended capacity without exceeding it and ensure the room is well-ventilated during drying for optimal performance.

Fluff Filter Maintenance

Regular cleaning of the fluff filters and the filter in the condensation container is essential. These components trap fluff and hair from laundry, and the dryer should not be operated without them.

Buzzer and Delicate Fabrics

A buzzer option is available at the end of the programme. For delicate fabrics requiring longer drying times, such as polyacrylics, polyamide, elastane, and acetate silk, a reduced temperature setting is recommended.

Automatic Cleaning

The dryer's heat exchanger is automatically cleaned during the drying process, maintaining optimal performance and efficiency without manual intervention.

Adjustable Drying Levels

The drying result can be finely adjusted across three levels, applicable to programmes such as Cottons, Easy-Care, Mixed Load, and Super Quick 40.

Safety Precautions

Children should not be left unsupervised near the dryer, and pets should be kept away. Additionally, the dryer should not be operated if there is a risk of frost.

Condensation Container

The condensation container should be emptied after each drying cycle, but not during the cycle, to ensure proper dryer function.

Maintenance

Check out our tips to prevent many common issues and extend the life of your Bosch Dryer.

Proper Loading

Only load the drum with laundry. Check the contents before you switch the dryer on. Do not exceed the maximum recommended capacity. Ensure that the drum is empty before loading to prevent damage and ensure efficient drying.

Safe Operation

Do not use the dryer if the laundry has been in contact with solvents, oil, wax, grease, or paint, as this poses a risk of fire or explosion. Always ensure the mains lead is not damaged to avoid electric shock.

Ventilation

Ensure the room is well ventilated during drying. Do not cover or seal the air inlet. This ensures proper air circulation and optimal drying performance.

Regular Cleaning

Rinse the fluff filters under running water regularly. Remove the outer fluff filter, open it, and remove any fluff. Rinse thoroughly, dry completely, and re-insert the filter for best results.

Heat Exchanger Maintenance

The dryer's heat exchanger is cleaned automatically during the drying process. 'Cln' will appear in the display panel. Do not pull out the condensation container during this cleaning process to ensure effective maintenance.
