Hi all
As an update on the Bosch condensing tumble dryer that shuts down
mid-program, I was told last night that some steam (rather than just hot >>> air) was seen appearing around the top of the appliance.
It is installed under the worktop between panels, so most hot air
usually exits in the 2 inch gap between the top of the machine and the
underside of the worktop.
Does this help in the fault diagnosis at all?
As posted earlier, I'm pretty sure that the main fluff traps are clear
that are accessible from the front of the machine. Tomorrow I intend to >>> take the machine out and investigate the rear.
Looking at videos, it appears that good access can be made to the fan,
which might be clogged I guess.
In light of the new info, any further pointers appreciated.
Does it cut out when you run it free standing?
That is, pulled out from under the work top?
This might help with two things:
(1) Is it over heating because of the confined space?
(2) Can you see in more detail where any steam is emerging?
Cheers

Thanks David
Yes I pulled the machine out and ran it on pretty dry towels.
This didn't show where steam might have been originating, but did
confirm that it failed even outside of its usual cubby hole. Total
shutdown after about 10 mins.
Having worked fine in that location for 12 years, there must be
something else at play somewhere.
Having checked the fan and housing are clear I reckon I'm going to throw
in the towel and just replace.
